Damn!

Haha this is so menacing, man!
Feels like an alternative universe where you scored Doom instead of Mick Gordon. And I'm hear for it.

Haha that would actually be a cool concept. Imagine a game where the developers open it up for alternate user generated scores. Would probably end up with a lot of AI slop  these days. But shit, as much as I love Mick Gordon's score, it's nowhere near as dark and menacing as this.

Haha I need to hear more about this "no-input mixing/feedback jam."
I used to own an Elektron Analog 4 mkii, and messed around a bit with feedback. But I'm curious to hear more about how you do it, and if there's a way to do it on the M8.

Would also love to see how you built that generative patch. So cool!

I love this!

Haha you also make me want an Analog Heat! So cool!

You'll need something that can split a signal into 2 seperate outputs: one for the loop, one for monitoring. The basic idea is you take an auxillary output from a mixer, run it through a couple of effects and then back into the mixer. Send the input channel back out through that same aux until it starts to feedback, then mess with the effects to find some interesting sounds!

Haven't tried this, but I guess you can do it with M8. Use the audio in/out for the loop and monitor via USB, or something in the loop path that can split the signal. Can also do it with the Analog Heat I guess, its main out simultaniously goes to the headphone output.

Just make sure you have a seperate volume control before your monitors, because things can get VERY loud VERY quickly. If you're not careful you can damage your speakers, or worse: your ears. The Analog Heat was at the output monitoring stage in my setup to limit the output and I used it to set level that goes to my speakers.

There's a link to the bundle up there! Feel free to ping/DM on Discord if you have any questions

Wow. Very doomy, dark, dangerous atmosphere. Makes me feel I’m on a hostile planet, the radiation is already quite something, but we’re not _quite_ sure if there isn’t something incredibly dangerous living out there…

hell yea, love me a no-input mixer jam! much more under control than some I've heard... indeed such menacing and dreadful atmosphere! cool there are portions with a beat that fade away as quickly as they made their point. lots of breathing and organic sounds altho eerie and not at all comforting. great stuff!

that's a concept in improvising that I really like, the idea that once you made sure the audience understands the point of a particular section you can move on to something else, you don't really have to stick with it for too long. and that can be as quickly as a single beat or sound, or longer like a full section, depends what the point is...

Super cool. Love the bold exploration of sound and structure here!

Absolutely freaking killer, dude. So good!

Love how sinister this sounds. What a heavy kick too. Great sound design

Dark and fleshy and throbbing as the Hell of Hellraiser. I find it hard to talk about structure with generative songs (except to say that the drum hits into the second drop around 3:30 really caught me off guard), but I can say the sound design is immense. Icky oozing bass and mid-howls, heavy-breathing reverb, subtler heartbeat subs, something around 4:50 that sounds like distorted whimpers of the damned, it all feels like a body horror nightmare. Fantastic

(Jealous of your PLL. I've wanted to play with a Data Corrupter or PurPLL for a minute.)

Amazing dark soundscapes! Absolutely love it.
