Exercise de style

By squelette on February 22, 2026 11:59 pm

Almost  the  end  of winter and  I'm trying to get some puck shooting in while I can.

Last week I was walking to the rink and thought my steps on packed sidewalk snow sounded nice, so I decided to record using my phone.  I did the same at the  rink with the intention do make some diy drums samples.

The kicks are shots on the  board, snares are slap shots, shaker are skate sounds, some posts shot in there  too.  Mangled on the m8 and added  some bass, hypesynth, and a mono synth in the back. Also a few samples I had made  with a piano patch that I like on my yamaha ck61


As far as the result go.. I feel like track is going nowhere.. I did it all fairly quickly and wasn't feeling super inspired. It was kind of tiring to work with the samples as they were mainly brittle sounds.

So, it felt more like a school project than my regular approach, but I  enjoyed  the process and might revisit the samples.

Le beat est vraiment super cool. Dans quelques semaines pas mal sur que tu vas probablement trouver ca plus cool que là.

Les synths choisis sont nice aussi et le beat groove A LOT! Tant pis pour le Canada... Grosse game.

I like the groove of this a lot, all the elements combine into a very hypnotic rhythm, it reminds me of early Flying Lotus / Brainfeeder stuff

Very nice groove indeed. Great use of samples too!

Thanks for taking the time to listen!

Did similar stuff with ice and snow in my earlier submissions!
They are really brittle but you did great with them.
