sausage catastrophe

By wangus on January 1, 2024 12:01 am

AND WE'RE BACK

M8 tracker, all synthesized.
loosening up the rust (i made zero music last year).

Things I like:
* pretty good kick/snare.
* pretty cool harmonies (i think you'd call this a mixed-modal sort of thing?  plus a modulation a whole step down in the middle, that feels pretty natural)
* nice contour/instrumentation inversion in the "bridge" section (hear it?)
* i like the scrowly macrosynth "toy" lead

Things I don't like:
* creative work ethic... late submission already...
* structure/approach kinda rutted in some vague patterns I can recognize from 2022.  I need to figure out what song/track-writing skills I want to stretch.
* certain depth of texture + sound design that i kinda imagined but didn't have time for


No weekly videos this year; might do a weekly collage cover art though.

This sausage is a triumph if you ask me. Almost broke my neck listening to this one. 10/10 dangerously funky. Great to see you back for 2024. Off to a great start, happy new year! heart

yoo this is sick!! welcome back, i'm already digging this immensely big_smile

Amazing track. Love the TOY macrosyn, nice and rubbery. Nice change of energy around 2:00. Also: guess who owns the domain sausagecatastrophe.com wink

Goddamn this is good. Favorited. I rate it 55/55 spheres. heart

so cool!!

All synthesis?! This is such a gritty bop! Would love to look through that bundle. Great job!

I was expecting sausages and catastrophes but I vibed through the whole thing

Love the main hook, super fun!

Killer! Love the macrosynth as well

Siiiick! Love it

Wangus' sausage disaster sounds like a dick joke gone very wrong. The song, however, is a great success.

Catastrophe, sorry, but that just makes it worse.

Holy cow! This slaps so good! Absolutely top notch work!

crazy sound design, bangs

suitably crunchy, sound design on point, musically always inspirational!

Fabentabulous

Delicious sausage, yummy sound design.

great title & great palette of sounds! a banger.

Tasty snausage. Agree on all the liked aspects. Chords at 1:50 & 2:40 are especially tasty.

Well, sounds great & I actually would love to learn how the sausage is made. Thank you!

So nice to get to hear new music from you again. Awesome FM wizardry on the drum/bass section, love the gnarly bass sound and melodies after 2:00 smile

one of my plans this year is to catalog all my m8 patches.  been having good use loading and tweaking 2022’s instead of starting from scratch always.

lmao the bass in the midsection was the least-thought part of the whole thing…


Dude, the sounds in this are so weird and amazing! Super crunchy and bendy, very nice work!!! And the chiller melody around 2:10 rolls in so smoothly... Wonderful work!
