"a mood where all songs that come on the radio sound like best ever"
i love that mood!

your track feels a little like that, almost like turning the radio dial and every time it lands on a station there is some cool and wild sonic party happening

Very fun and funky mix of sounds. And a good reminder to move!

The processing on the vocal loop that first comes in around 0:15 is super interesting, what did you do to that sample (if you don't mind sharing)?  Sounds like it might be a forward-reverse loop maybe, and a bunch of saturation... maybe some crazy tape loop things... sounds rad though.

Lots of interesting ingredients on this one, but they do combine into a cohesive and tasty sonic stew.  The vocal samples start off a little soulful and funky and get downright hypnotic as it goes on.

woah! This is a trip, love all the curveballs in the rhythms, yet still super groovy. A lot of changes but still  cohesive - really dope track!

Experimentalgroovyweirdfuturistichousemusic. Great.

Yeah that's recording of my voice at about :15, just dropped that in Granulater 3 (now stock ableton device), Classic mode. Triggered it with midi notes I tapped in, and that's it. Same with the female vocal sample that starts in very beginning, but that one has Auto Shift on it with Formant turned down 25%. Wanted to play with Granulater more, it's awesome, and Auto Shift, which is new in 12.1, still in Beta. Thanks for listening!

Great opening vocal chop, followed by all kinds of "tidbits" that just work together, absolutely agree with the message behind the track, need to keep moving and advancing in all ways.  Have also been using the beta version on Ableton, lots of new things to check out on the update, Auto Shift has been really fun to use on non vocal sounds.

Drum and bass always solid on your tracks and the vocal chops always the best ear candy. How to you decide on how to arrange your tracks?there's a definite structure there with lots of nice surprises along the way

Thanks for listening! Happy the drum and bass came through solid. Thanks for noticing arrangement. I just kind of go by feel, but I often have a standard structure in mind to start with, like ABAB or ABCAB or whatever. But then I try to change it. Shorten the first A to B ... skip A altogether in the end since B is the hotness to come back to for a climax. I try and make it a story or a journey, but it may be a story only in my head, not something obvious. Cut and paste some parts of the arrangement to experiment. I usually try and have a "bridge" kind of thing in the middle, something different, just for fun. That's it: just for fun

Oooh I remember that Yuka C Honda vid, inspiring stuff from her.  Really cool use of your vocals and how you effected them.  Ableton is awesome for all those lil creative bits like that.  Love the chords bouncing around especially the arpy sounding ones towards the end.  And yais I recommend a few walks/dances per week at least

Man, did you survive the move? We're missing you in Week 39!

In any case, a cool track for W38, the cacophony is surprisingly musical. I dig it! The break in the middle with the acid and the blinky FM arps is delicious.

Thank you! I do like to try and create musical cacophony! Glad you liked that middle part.

I have a week 39 track - had an internet failure right at upload time, bummer. I asked for an upload link from admins, have not received one yet. Looks like they haven't shared late uploaded links for the past couple weeks, so not getting my hopes up, but we'll see. Thanks for noticing!

a tasty soup of sounds! A bit of chaotic order, the more you listen the more it grooves and you kind of tune in to different rhythms going on.

Yes, that's the way! Welcome to strange exotic and hopefully bountiful Autumn Kedbreak, thanks for checking it out!

Yes, that mood is the best. I like most styles of music almost all the time, but there's that special time where almost any song that pops up just feels so right! Thanks for cruising the dial with me on this one!

Thank for stopping by for the fun Minnamari! Hope your week is filled with movement!

Mmmm, tasty sonic stew is on the menu! Thanks for taking a spoonful. Ooh, I like that the vocals felt hypnotic, that's great. Thanks for listening!

Ha, thanks for taking a trip here! Yeah some curveballs for sure, so glad you thought the groove got through!

haha, love that word! Thanks for checking out this new genre

Yes, love the Ableton One Thing and other vids, always find something I want to try, and sometimes actually get around to doing so! Glad you liked some of the chords in there, I actually thought about chords a little for this, something I want to do more! Now I'll for sure try something like the arpy ones at the end again since you liked those! Thanks for listening, and hop you had a few good moves this week!

Glad you tasted this soup and the chaos didn't seem too crazy to get through it! Thanks for checking it SQF!

Thanks Jason! Glad you liked the vocal chop and the tidbits. Lots of tidbits! Yeah the Ableton 12.1 has some great updates, I think still some I need to try. Great idea to use Auto Shift on non-vocals, great way to tweak samples I bet, will try that, glad you mentioned that. Hope you get some good movement in this week. Last days of mountain biking are upon us!

miraclemiles this track reminded me of a new habit jwh and i have started after reading this article:

"Sitting All Day Can Cause Dead Butt Syndrome - The name might make you snicker, but addressing “gluteal amnesia” can help you avoid chronic pain."

every time we realize we've been sitting too long we get up and slap our behinds & say "wake up - don't forget you're a butt" & do a little dance - this is a great track for this new practice of ours

Ha, I love this! I didn't know there was an actual named syndrome, wow. Serious stuff. That article talks about the chain reaction that can happen, I notice that often, when one thing is out of wack, it's noticeable in many places. The butt is important!
I love telling the butt 'Don't forget you're a butt" that's hilarious. Good on you two for having the practice. A save your (butt) life move for sure! Thanks for sharing!
I'm going to get up now and moooooove
