That feedback loop sounds brilliant!  I've never made on in hardware (at least, not on purpose )―did you have to put a limiter in somewhere, for safety? 

It must be the season to run your stuff through cool pedals―ilzxc also got some trippy mileage out of a Chase Bliss Habit.  (Actually I probably shouldn't call the wedge a "pedal" now that I've googled it, although now I've googled it it's not clear what I should be calling it).

Speaking of brilliant effects: your i-cant-believe-it-is-wavsynth strings from last week prompted me to try out similar tricks this week.  wavsynth is really great!  I'd originally assumed it was mostly for chiptune, but it's surprisingly versatile (especially while drowning in reverb )

Lovely, very atmospheric. That little bend at the end of the long notes sounds especially dope

Wavsynth is simultaneously the most classic and the most future synth engine on the m8 - I love it.
And in regards to your feedback question, I don't use a limiter... in a software feedback loop, I always use a limiter. For hardware, the system kind of limits itself.

Thank you - that's almost entirely algorithmic / generative, so we got to pass the credit on to a higher power.

vibe here is so vivid with all the sounds coming alive as they do, feels like a time-lapse of flowers blossoming in an open field: airy, vibrant, beautiful

Blasted this thing last night in the car during a late-night drive: there's one particularly climactic distorted moment some time through that made me taking an exit seem really quite important, if not ominous. Thoroughly enjoyed.

This would fit my martian visuals so much better! Lovely spaces.

how much of this was "scripted"?  like a planned progression of feedback tones?

the way it keeps bringing up new shapes of sounds over the course of the track, which also re-draw focus to previous ones, feels like some deliberate development

really like the stony wash the comes in around 1:05 and elsewhere.  and stark energy to the distorted swells like ~6min in.

the bendy/wavering melodies are also a great source for the feedback reverb

So the elements were recored live with all hands on deck, so I'm definitely driving the feedback itself into whatever direction we decide together it should go.
The notes are almost purely algorithmic, some human-influenced transposition here and there to give some sore of harmonic direction.
The accentuations and embellishments like the bends etc are purely algorithmic.

Thank yall for listening.

Very atmospheric and spacey! That felt like a fast 8 minutes lol. Good work!

Lovely use of the reverb. Can't picture clearly what's happening because I'm not very familiar with the M8, though it sounds really soothing. It has a certain theremin-ish vibe. Lovely
