very nice mods, maybe a bit over the top

Thanks for the feedback! What kinds of things would you think would help it stop being too much? Is it a problem of too many instruments, or are you talking about the tape warble being too wobbly?

yeah i'm talking about the wobble. its a great effect i like the aesthetic it gives and the style you're going for, but i almost view this as an abuse of the effect to the point where its a little distracting as it dominates the piece. my initial thought of a solution would be to lessen the wobble at times or to only apply the effect to 1 or 2 instruments. obviously all just my opinion good luck!

Yeah I think I agree a bit now that I'm more removed from the writing process part, where everything is comparative and you kinda can't tell what's good anymore because it's just about what's better than what you just had...

I did go for more warble than I tend to, but whoops

It's like the beginning of a really old movie.

What did you use for generation?

Created a chain of midi tools in Ableton. A Left hand for bassline/chord structuring, and a right hand at a faster subdivision. Basic signal flow was a C note held for the duration of the song, and then that fed into an Arpeggiator at the appropriate subdivision, a midi random, a midi scale/quantizer with dialed in values, and a random velocity for the right hand.

I see, so you didn't use an external module for it?

No, though I was inspired by the monome Orca and Meadowphysics behaviors in the crafting of those midi chains.

Really cool way to generate all of this.  I have never tried it myself.  I think the wobbly effect is cool and adds a nice deteriorated feel.

I toy around with it from time to time. I'm fascinated by the idea of synthesizing my musical knowledge into something I could have ostensibly written by hand. Nowhere near that yet though!
