No Time to Say Hello

By lament.config on August 11, 2024 11:41 am

Spent the week running around looking at my pocket watch shouting I'm late.  Just not enough time for 32.

Some months ago I tried to create a drone rack, with mixed results.  One attempt had 3 Roar effects lines up next to each other, which I kept feeding the the output of a glitchy broken computer sample back into.  With a level of class a mother could be proud of, that session was named - Roar Fed up it's Own Ass.  And with literally only a few hours of time to write music this week, that's the well I dipped into.

Made in Ableton
Built from poor life choices

That glitch sample is great - it shocked me to attention right away. And man, when it cut through the wall of swirling noise at :40, it made SURE I was paying attention. Great stuff.

I don’t use Ableton, so I was wondering what Roar did. Found out soon enough…damn. Never tried feeding an effect into itself again like that, that’s some wild results.

It's jarring but in the best possible way.the glitch sounds like a threat, like the vanguard of a real slammer of an industrial song.

Great work.

No idea how you did it, but love the extra spread out glitches.  Like I'm trying to start up an ancient archive.  I def should experiment with Roar just for funsies..  smile

Thank you, it certainly was an odd noise.  Roar is nuts, might be the next OTT once the EDM kids figure it out.  The initial glitch noise saved me though, don't know what week 32 would have been had I not saved it haha.

Cheers.  I might have to try that, picking up some nasty drum samples this week all things going to plan.

Thanks.  If I recall I correctly the second of 3 of the Roar devices had an echo which fed into the 3rd.  I made this before my file management was decent so I only have the audio file and and my poor battered memory to recall it.  But yeah, you should play with it, it's hours of odd fun

I quite enjoyed this track!  Even though you made it quickly, I think it comes across well.  Cool textures and tones.
