For my uncle Wilburn who died of covid yesterday.
It's just the way it is. Not everybody can be saved. This cure will require sacrifices, if we want the apocalypse to end.
AHHHHHHHHHHHHH UPLOAD!
Second Compo! I feel better about this time :D
I found an old project template in my files that was me messing around with a buncha synths, and booted it up for this.
Panning, cut off automations, and arps, oh my! A mess of synthy goodness for man's continual creation and experimentation. And hey, I made a song without stringed instruments! Those things are purely synthetic!
Instead of my usual structure and programming, i decided to let loose, and simply click record instead. So whilst i was recording, in real time i was manipulating sounds/adding new melodies/drums etc, all within the recording. The result sounds very unstructured, and really lends itself to a jam. It's not me tweaking live synths, but rather working to a single pattern/region whilst messing around with stuff. That's also why i went for techno, because i felt this would be the best idea for this kind of setup. I don't think you've heard me live yet, or at least what i constitute live, but this is the best you're gonna get. I might do it again, but for something from a less repetitive genre. All in all, i hope you like it!
