DOVE_DISCO

A little 4 on the floor never hurt. This track was inspired by the morning doves that visit my bird bath having a bit of a disco. I find them quite humorous as they bob their heads and decide who is next to take a splash.

Last week with the DPO doing bass duties and the main melodic pluck through a modulated low pass gate. Getting pretty used to this workflow so might be the last few weeks before I Switch up my main sequencer. While I really like the digitakt 2 with 16 stereo channels, the sample chopping is a bit tedious. Grid mode does provide some happy accidents but the imprecision leads to a lot of clicks and pops.

I hope everyone is doing well, I am finally starting to feel better and may take another run at organizing my studio space, as it has expanded out in the living room during my recovery. I am really starting to miss having access to more of my gear (some of it still in boxes since I moved almost 2 years ago). While it has been great to be narrowly focused, it is a major chore when I want to reach for something and it is both a pain to find it and an even bigger pain to route. it.

I can really picture birds out on a multicolored dancefloor with a disco ball glittering overhead.  Sounds like a fun avian party.
