Heartbeat

By hauntedshrines on March 8, 2026 12:10 pm

It’s just a short one this week at 2:52, but that doesn’t mean it was quick to make.

Some equipment used to record this track:

  • OP-XY

  • Make Noise Strega and 0-Coast

  • Tape echo with real tape, patched into my modular to make an analogue feedback loop with filters and distortion inserted into the feedback path

  • Mutable Instruments Beads for reverb, saturation and some granular effects

I’ve missed weeks but I’m going to keep up the challenge when I can.

Love those ratchets

Awesome buildup with some awesome transitions! I also love the lofi sounds.

The intro sets the mood so well, great transitions and the big beat/break drop is super satisfying at the end! Cool that  you've missed a few but are still going too 🙌🏼

tasty tape. really nice build in antici

Thank you! I'm loving this tape echo. I bounced some parts through tape without any dry signal or feedback, and jammed the tape heads right up against the tape to make it flutter like hell. I don't think it could get more lofi than that.

Thanks, this is really nice to hear. I'm glad you enjoyed listening.

Worth waiting for I hope! It's not me, it's a royalty free sample.

I've done this a lot lately, I'm really enjoying changing key and adding some energy in the last section of a song. Is it a good surprise or a bad one?

A good one I'd say. Feels fresh.
