Patchwork Marmalade

By Napear on December 22, 2024 9:19 pm

Like many this time of year, I find myself at a deficit of time... more stuff to do than hours to do it in.  But, still a bit more time than last week... so less speed trash, and more late night VCV Rack modular jam sesh.  I think I finally have a workable method for multi-tracking out VCV for these kind of jams that doesn't set my computer on fire.  This was mostly an unnecessarily complex drone/pad that I patched up, then a bunch of arps sequenced with a Keystep Pro.  I added a couple layers of CS-80 V once I got it into logic... and I'm not thrilled with how the lead part turned out... but I couldn't spare the time to dial in the performance... so good enough for government work I guess.   

Almost there folks... It's hard to believe that we made it through a whole year of this... mad respect to everyone who's still posting tracks, and especially those who have done it in previous years and are still pumping them out now... One more team... one more.

if it's not overly complicated in vcv, you're not trying hard enough, haha.

love how this builds. it never feels hollow, but everything still ebbs and flows in intensity. it's got this great edge of sinister sound too. like some real, eh I guess we'll zap this corpse with lightning and see what happens vibes.

on the performance part, if you hadn't said anything, I don't think I'd have even known to listen for theoretical problems. I didn't find any.

super cool track

That got wild towards the end there, very nice.  I actually found you lead rather interesting - it started off sounding to my ears a bit dungeon synth but towards the end was reminding me of Wakeman.  A pretty damn fine jam this.

really interesting combination of triumph and unease. like the part of the movie when everything can go to shit if the protagonist doesn't get it together and they seem to be getting it together but MAYBE NOT BUT WAIT THERE ARE GOING FOR IT

i'm into the lead! and the mix has that Napear touch.

incredible work this year, Friend. i *listen* forward to more musical adventures.
