Embers

By uhhuh_absolutely on January 25, 2026 11:30 pm

Pretty short sketch this week, but I like the core idea.

Did a hybrid approach starting on the M8 and then moving the stems to Ableton and recording some sax over the top. I liked this workflow a lot, going to keep experimenting with it.

Tried to channel some righteous anger into this one (albeit still sounds pretty tame, I know, lol). Let's keep making art, tear this shit down, and rebuild together. Fuck ICE.

Great break choppage; the sax adds a lot of character and really stands out

These breaks are so sick and fresh. I'm taking notes smile. Really love the sax lines and the space they occupy and create.

Hahah, thanks a bunch! The long chords are pads from the hypersynth on the M8, but you've inspired me to try laying some sax harmonies. I gotta do that in a future tune.

Thanks! Using the fixed slice count on the M8 is def a bit of a cheat code. I also found having a synced LFO to filter cutoff let's me adjust the emphasis. I like how it worked on this one.
