Mosaic

This song was made with an Elektron Digitakt drum machine and Digitone FM synth. They make a nice pairing that I want to spend more time this year working with. In this track I tried to build up a looping idea over time, adding elements, adding energy to parts, taking them out, and trying to overlay them on each other to build a vamping kind of journey through the song. I recorded this as a single take jam, after planning when to switch patterns, use mutes and fills.

The prompt for the song was mosaic, hence the title. The initial loop idea came from messing around with some chords and a melodic idea, and seeing if I could layer them through different automation of the filter etc using the parameter locks of the Elektron boxes.

Beautiful jam! Love the Digitone synths. Makes me wanna sway back and forth in a dark room. I like the cute quirky percussion contrasting with the moody synths. Evolves nicely!

Very pleasant vibes!

Well done!

This is such a nice chill track! I like the subtle drop at 1:50

Lovely, can't wait to hear more of your work!

i love how elektron stuff sounds, i think i will get one some day. regardless, this is really cool programming! the mix is good too.
