Hi friends. Welcome to my submission for week 9.

This week has been busy. I started on one track and had to shelve it for another time because it wasn't working out. Instead, I made a quick-ish ambient/dub techno sketch.

› Production notes

Thanks for listening!

This is nice!! Loved your patch notes, I wish more folks would do them lol

Really enjoyed this! Loved the patch notes.

The polyrhythms and drifting keeps this interesting. Well done. Nice track!

such a hypnotic calming groove with the pulsing drums and wavy pads.  love those lil rhythms you have going with the different modulated frequencies.

I like the atmosphere you build in this track with the laid back beat and the pads. Cool track!

Quiet and softly relentless. Great combo of ambient and distant club.

Noticing that some of my favorite artists at the moment do just enough for whats needed on the track and I think you’re really tapping into it. I think it has something to do with less elements that are just super well crafted and your production notes are showing that’s definitely an element! Gotta try modulating eq and compression with midi. Super laid back and vibey heart

Thank you heart Generally I try to aim to learn something new every week, and writing down some production notes feels like a nice way to remind myself what I did smile

Thank you! It's pretty wild how a few basic rhythm patterns can make a lot of interest.

Aww thank you for the nice note heart. This week was definitel a bit more of a time crunch thing, though I'm also not sure where I'd take this track if I had more time. I do find that, on weeks, where I'm not as rushed, I'm  able to put in more polish into making each of the sections more varied. Also totally agree with you about a lot of music having a small amount of elements that work well together. Just because we can layer more things doesn't mean that the track needs it smile. Modulate all the things!!! big_smile

Lovely tune! great ambience and I particularly love the subtle distortion/noise it really gives me the impression of wind and goes really well with the whole dub vibe, exploring some frozen lands heart

heart you know, I think the coldness wasn't intentional, but now that you mention it, I'm totally hearing it. I've heard that dub techno requires some noise to make it feel organic so I just tossed in something from WAVSYBTH. I think my takeaway is that the noise you choose has a big impact on overall vibes
