Started this week by playing around with a semi-generative version of this VCV rack by Omri Cohen. I used several very nice modules from Surge XT, including the quad LFO for automating/randomizing knob turns and the amazing Traveler module (from Tonecarver) for generating sequences and key changes. Recorded and imported the live session stem into the m8 and iterated many times to build a track around the shapes and forms.

Love the weirdness of this! Sort of reminds me of Imakuni's theme from the Pokémon TCG for Game Boy (you def gotta check it out, I've loved that theme for forever).

Nice! I had not heard that one yet. Nintendo has always pushed the envelope with their music (and sfx) and it seems weekly I learn about some old (or new) innovative track they produced. I started to abandon my efforts on this track several times including an attempt to mimick the Octarian style Nintendo makes in Splatoon (the repetitive bass splice has some very minor formants if you listen carefully), but I'm happy where this ended up.

It's a kinda sounds like slug bgm

Yeah, I can picture an army of slugs marching in a conga line to this. Of course disaster strikes when someone knocks over the salt shaker!

I love the synth sounds here, some really interesting changing tones, really cool

Nice. Moves along. The mollusk analogy might be apt although I think those of us in the insect kingdom would appreciate it too. Have your management contact me.
