Cour à scrap

Further spring cleaning of unfinished m8 projects.

This I started about a year ago.. maybe my 4th or 5th attempt at doing a track on the m8.

Initially I started this one with the intend to incorporate my diy samples, and to learn commands / automation.

I hated the resulting track but liked the timbres and basic groove, so this week I decided to salvage it.

Took the existing track as a template and changed all the voicing / chords / scale, then added a lot of new automation and tricks I learned since getting more accustomed with the device.

I recorded the m8 through some outboard stuff instead of rendering, and due to the automation at the end of the track, when it it looped back to the start again; it was completely mangled. I thought that was pretty neat so I let it roll, and lo and behold, at some point things got even weirder. I feel like I couldn't have hit pause at a better time, so I'm real proud about that. Some happy mistakes resulting in two noise sections to wrap things up! lolz

I kinda like it now, and I'm happy to be done with it

En effet, very cool!

T'as trouvé un cool set de mags a pas cher... bien nettoyé ca fait crissement bien. smile

Et oui, la finale est très réussi! nice snare!

Le son est vraiment bien. J’aime beaucoup! Plein de textures et des samples qui claquent

Love the intro of this, it reminds me of something off 10,000HZ legend.

The chords bending into each other is very cool.

heck yeah, squelette!

Lovely bendy chords, what a vibe. Cool how you managed to make the 3/4 feel slightly off-kilter.
The crunchy end part feels like being teleported to a strange alien world, very cool!

Oof, this is awesome, especially the last half where everything sorta crashes into the ground and slows. Really enjoy that progressive bit redux towards the end too and all those dreamy sliding chords heart

Wow what a great track! Really like the progression, melody and song overall
