WB 12 - A Bunny Named Dobro ૮₍ ˶• ༝ •˶ ₎ა (Dirtywave M8)

Hi!

Here’s a story about a bunny named Dobro.
I played a few licks on my guitar, sang a few phrases, exported everything in the M8 and added synths, FX and samples.

I had a ton of fun designing the little bubble plucks and the « tambourine » (which doesn’t sound at all like a tambourine) at 0’56 with the FM synth. Also I modulated the delay time heavily for the synth sounds.
Scratching sound are made with the Macrosynth.

Most of the best ideas I get on this device come from using little errors, like that siren sound I caught when I recorded my voice, that I chose to sequence later in the track.

I hope you’ll like it!

Great "folk" song intro that morph into a pretty cool 'trip hop' track.

Interesting textures for the percussive elements. Really like the deep bass and your flow.

I enjoyed this. Tracker work but feels very organic. Of course, the acoustic guitar helps set the mood a bunch but later the sounds are, as you say, generated using the internal engines of the M8. This is all skillfully sound-designed and arranged.

In Polish "dobro" means "goodness", "well-being", "welfare", or "happiness".

really great groove

Simply incredible. I love everything about this! Little audio errors and surprises are pure gold when they show up. Little gifts from the universe just begging to be incorporated- just like Dobro ૮₍ ˶• ༝ •˶ ₎ა
