Freak on tape

By laguna on April 24, 2022 11:58 pm

This one's both a success and a failure:

1) Success because I managed to improve my ministudio and add some needed patchbays, so this one was made using the mixer of a cassete multitrack recorder plus effects, plus another mixer plus more effects. It was fun!

2) Failure because my cabling was not really finished so I had to leave "important" elements and just dump the stereo mix of just one take if I wanted to catch the deadline. I made more takes with different effects and filter adjustments, though they're not here in this mix.

Everything was made in my small Eurorack setup with just two mono voices, squeezing the last 2 and a half hours prior to the deadline. Sequenced in Ableton and straight from the mixer to the final product.

I'd use some MIDI between the sequencing computer and the recording computer, though I didn't have long enough cable!

Hope to improve my game this week and resume some projects. You take care and be well, WB Family!!!

This is a nice percussive track, with beautiful textures. It's the musical equivalent of impressionism in painting.

I like to think of WB like driving in a race while repairing the car.  You have to set up and fix everything on the fly, but don't expect to get the chance to get everything set up in one sitting, you have to keep moving!  Pretty piece though!
