W05: Taking Chances

By boorch on February 1, 2026 6:05 pm

Again, a dronefest, using my own software Dronage Terminal.

This week I wasn't feeling particularly inspired, so I tried a new approach. Since I know Dronage Terminal inside and out, I took my chances by setting up the whole patch without hearing anything at all, pressing record, starting to turn on gates from metamodule 4 through 1 (I usually build it the other way around, starting with low registers, then gradually going high), and tweaking some parameters as the "performance". I was surprised to hear it was initially a bit "tame", but I wanted to "disturb" it manually during the performance.

Towards the end, there's a clock-like tick-tock repeating forever (because Delay feedback was at 94%) and I really don't know where it came from, probably a glitch. But I liked it, so I hope I don't accidentally fix whatever caused it in future updates.
Enjoy!

Man, I still need to get into this! I'm so interested in it I've just been so busy. I love how this builds and swells. I agree on the tick-tock, that's great!

This was lovely, I really really loved the intro. Will try your software, this looks super neat!

Really enjoyed this. Very calm and meditative.
