2024_49

we're in the home stretch now. getting close.

last week I pulled all of my eurorack modules out of my case and packed them away.

this weekend, I chose some modules at semi random, and here's the result.

I wanted to make something unnerving and uncomfortable - I think I've achieved that.

...and then after uploading the weekly beats I messed around with some of Ableton's built in FX, namely the echos and found something which dialled up the unnerving feelings moreso.

So here's v2.

Great textures and the rhythm. Its got a Babdook rave vibe to it. Thats not a genre... but I guess now it is.

I wouldn't say unnerving. Usually industrial ambient / illbient / drone is not specially my cup of tea, but I find this one quite hypnotic and soothing in a way.

Pretty nice work. Would be interesting to see the patch. You seem to know were to tap your cables for interesting rhythmic pulses

Totally a genre. Closely related to "K-hole techno" I believe.

Glad you liked it. Always happy to see/hear/read when I make something enjoyable when it's not someone's usual tea.

From memory the Electus Versio was clocked to 4th notes rhythm, and it was a 7/8 delay. Might be wrong with that one.

Then I ran it through two extra echoes in Ableton so there's a lot of pulses between what's essentially three delays.

I think the BIA was just your usual 4/4 beat. Maybe the occasionally off kick to mix things up smile

Thanks for the patching tips. Indeed it's nice when you add some odd events in any delay/modulation so "magic" variations appear from thin air

You're very welcome.

Most of my patching these days is "when in doubt, modulate the hell out of Manis Iteritas". Crazy how one of the best modulation sources at the moment is the Korg SQ-1.

I almost choked on my tea when reading "K-hole techno".
This track would be a great opener for a rather hard techno set @ a festival.
I totally dig it.

I'll be careful with saying such nonsense in 2026. Hopefully there wasn't too much a mess.

Glad you enjoyed it smile
