W10 - Rolling Dreams
By ENC_ on March 10, 2024 6:52 pm
Initially started while visiting home town and thinking about deceased family member. Interactions with them still swim around in my head. I dream about them often. like they never left. Some family dynamics survive postmortem I guess. Through discussion with partner discovered the "Flow chart" dynamic I use to problem solving and planning vs. their "spider web" tactics. Mostly pleasant visit with VTC but tiring. fixed car, taxes, new phone. Listed to dorian concept Jitters, RDJ bootlegs, Clark Body Riddles, and Trackermatte. Continued reading Raving. Miss old enviorment and appreciated 90s confirmation of roughness from local native (sales rep). Watched choir in retirement home. accompanied for reading to 5th and 1st graders. Still remembered by staff. VTC keeping busy.
Largely positive week with little sleep. BG3 argument led to planning dynamics discussion and resolution. Anxious future.
Note: RX-11 Sample session needed. Old ones missing. Nanoloop file needs to be extracted from old phone before trade in. First Ableton 12 completed track. Retiring 11. Also had sound design sample session for LGPT on miyoo. half song started while testing. Revisit.

Song writing, recording, and mixing/mastering were rushed. Feels a bit demo-ish in quality. could return to fix. Tried written in a different scale from usual with no additional music theory exploration. Combination of old transition techniques and newer studies. No generative elements. Groove test mixed results. some of it removed in post production.
Some parts written and synthesized in nanoloop then sampled into M8. M8 sequences S-1 and the song. Intended to include additional acid line but ran out of time. Sampled from old phone recordings of DMC 2011. Time stretched in Ableton and edited.
File Name: Ableton "W10 - RollingDreams", M8 "ROLLINGDREAM", Nanoloop "Rollingdream"
*screwed up timing of the S-1. had to slide over. Also exported as mono. re-uploaded twice to fix errors the following morning.
