I'm back for week 15. I had to take a break for my own sanity. Balancing life has been difficult lately. I put together this track by improvising with M8 tracker. After my last show, I decided to re-think how I have been using it when jamming and playing live. It's no secret that I have been pretty inspired by the rave and IDM music of the 90s recently. This is a continuation of that.

I took several common tropes of these genres and attempted to distill the parts down and mash them together and then slowly take them apart. It's been a meditative experience that has led me to appreciate the history even more. The M8 sequences are partially generative as usual.

I was more ambitious this week. I shot a video too:

Gear Used:
DirtyWave M8
VCV Rack (generative percussion played with Ableton breaks)
Ableton (used to make generative drum beak samples and master stereo recording)
Alpha Juno 2 (old synths samples from I still owned one)
DX7 (Sampled main Chord)
Roland TR-606 (sampled)
DR-40 (used to record improvised M8 session)
