I didn't think I'd get a track done this week. I much prefer to have next weeks idea at least as a thought and this time I had nothing. By midweek the discord got me motivated to at least post something. Originally I thought I'd make some speech on the commodore 64, a bassline using mssiah 303 on 64 and a 909 on the 64, but it was pretty unpleasant.
So I expanded my rules a little, and decided to use different drums, I went back and programmed more basslines into the c64 303 and recorded them through the infamous Bad Monkey pedal. It was started to sound a lot better, I ended up chopping up the 303 lines and rearranging them, then I incorporated a couple of speech samples from the sega megadrive.A break through happened when I entered the wrong chain number in the second half of the song, I wanted to have a second 303 line, but it ended up being a techno kick. Sounded great so left that in. Happy accidents.
You can hear the original c64 909 beat just before one of the drops.
Added more finesse everywhere, Did this all on the M8 of course. I was generally impressed how good this commodore 64 303 lines turned out through the bad monkey. Thanks for reading and listening.
