my brain desperately looking for consistency in a loud environment

the breaks do come in, I promise. it just takes a minute.

I spent too much of the week saw sharpening, trying to push towards where I really want to go, and realized I didn't have anything to show for it. I had pretty much given up when I decided to try chopping breaks in vcv rack.

normally when I've done anything break related and generative, I try to lock in a two step pattern (or whatever I want the core to be) and let the notes inbetween wander. but this is eurorack, so I modulated all the things.

I couldn't get my bernoulli tree to keep the breaks on as often as I liked--the chance of mute/unmute is sub-2% per phrase, and I swear below 2% is somehow greater than 100%--but otherwise it's something.

hopefully I'll defeat the gods of atonal techno and move that way next week.

Oooohhhh this is some weird gritty crunchy goodness! Still super impressed at your ability to get actual music out of modular setups. Not jusg that, but some cool sounding crazy stuff like this!

You've really got a handle on VCV, it sounds so good and so clean.  Your breaks are really solid and those glitches are just delicious.  What I'm most taken by though is the sound that seems to be quietly bubbling away in the background til around the 2 minute mark where it becomes more pronounced, so good

those strange crunchy sounds are so good, I can feel them in the back of my skull

It's like it's trying to communicate.

this sounds super cool, love the textures. also love the phrase saw sharpening and your thoughts on balancing it with music making. I am also inspired by your continued work with vcv. The breaks are cool and really work. You've made something unique here and i am into it! favorited

seriously sounds like a monster breathing in the intro, horrifying

this would kill as an opening track for your show

WOOO when the drums come in yes PLEASE

the orange drink version would then transition to a 4 on the floor house beat at the end and move into a new track
