Entomology

This week I started using Drift to try and create an evolving drone after the first note is played, it's not deep enough but not a bad start.

Made in Ableton

Damn. Ableton needs to pay attention to you - creating so much Drift is amazing and they need to be aware of this big_smile

Absolutely suffocating experience. The low hits throughout really drive this forward.

Listening to tinnitus and whatever existential dread you have summoned here, good work

really cool how the low noise floor pad thingy (sorry lame description) is just living and breathing in this space you created.  Gave me some goosebumps hearing it slowly rise and fall.  Nice work!

Very interesting!Thank you

Caveat that I'm just listening on laptop but it kind of reminds me of the time-stretched Brian Eno youtube videos I've become addicted to. You've achieved a Long Now

Great mood and atmosphere here. I haven't touched drift but now I think I want to... better wipe the dust off the push 2!

Thanks, it was a fun one to make.  I want to play around with that percussive non percussion lows more.

Thank you, I was pretty happy with that.  down the track I may try it again but make it sound, I don't know, wetter.

Thanks for listening.  I did not know doing that to Eno was a thing, but wow it's super relaxing.

Cheers, I appreciate that.  I've only ever tried Drift on my baby Arturia like a savage, I bet it would be fun on a Push.

I played around with it and there was some joy there for sure! (Though for this week's track I left everything in the hands of LFOs) Also, using the Arturia would be just as fun. If you want savagery, sometimes I use my STVC as a midi controller and other times I use the... QERTY Keyboard.... with FIXED velocity....
