scritchy scratchy

By sd_falter on January 20, 2026 9:37 am

jamming on the modular techno styles. 0-coast and i think plaits on looped textural duties, couple drums from that modded O_C firmware with the drum machines (squares and circles). bounced to ableton then added a vaguely booty tech like bassline and the weird scritchy scratchy hats and some basic arrangement.

came together quite quickly but i couldn't really think of what else to do with it so i just rendered and posted early in the week, will use the extra time to work on something for next week.

mean snare / industrial tones
really really dig the subtle introduction of the sub-bass at 1:00
VERY fierce when it locks in with the kick at 1:10
the echoing fizzy sounds breathe a lot of air into the mix and are great

WHAT EVEN IS THIS MATTRESS SPRING SOUND RHYTHM lol this owns

this whole track is texturally awesome, might be my fav this week
well done

Thanx!

The springy sounds were a drum loop I programmed in Ableton, then routed thru the sonic charge bitspeek vst. It basically tries to turn anything you route thru it into a down sampled speak n spell-esque sound. I think after that there was a bit of filtering. All the sonic charge stuff is really awesome for sound design imo it really adds glitchy, digital artifacty flavour to everything which I quite enjoy.

Oh i had another look and the drum loop was kinda a mostly straightforward break but it had an excessive use of a quite high pitched triangle sample. i guess that high frequency information really broke the bitspeek downsampling effect 🤣
