BARREN

By mzunguko on August 4, 2024 10:33 pm

What a crazy, crazy world. reminds me of the lyric from Smashing Pumpkins', Bullet with Butterfly:

"The world is a vampire
Sent to drain
Secret destroyers
Hold you up to the flames
And what do I get
For my pain?
Betrayed desires
And a piece of the game"

A barren beauty, I do hope everyone is staying grounded through whatever this experience is that we are sharing.  This track was Digitakt on drums using some EA-SKI and Goldbaby one shots. All the voices were sampled from the 62HP Palette case I put together a few weeks ago. The samples were remixed and then sequenced in the digitakt. I just recorded the stereo 2 channel from the digitakt output (plus some noise as my audio chain needs some tlc)

Thank you, going to stay committed to working with hardware only for the next few weeks. While I never feel like I can complete things the way I want, I will never work out the kinks without the pressure of completing tracks using this workflow vs being so dependent on ITB tracks.

Definitely been feeling the craziness in the air.  Things have felt heavy and weird for a little while now.  This is a nice little groove to get lost in and distract the mind for a bit.  Thanks for sharing!

That duh-doom part of the kick hits so nicely early on and grabs your attention.  Extra appreciation for those warbly synth tones in between.

I get a dystopian atmosphere with knivesharp rhythms. I know the SP song too well. Have a nice week.

I appreciate you all so much for stopping by. I came pretty close to not making it this week with a pretty serious health scare. Makes one really stop and think about a lot of things ( first my partner and then me). While I haven’t had much energy for anything but to reevaluate a bunch of things. I am so grateful that you have always taken the time to stop by and listen.

this track feels like it is taking us beyond melancholy & infinate saddness to somewhere else - let's go!
