2014 - The Year of БЬЕM

Been focusing on more minimal and atmospheric tunes featuring wonderful analog sounds from my DSI Tetra.

***edit: Tracks will disappear/reappear at my convenience.

My favorite ones were Klast 2 and Broad Concord. I really like the sort of quiet rushed feeling and subtle buildup from Klast, and the playful acid in Broad Concord.

i agree really like the last cut but there were moments of genius in your other songs too top stuff :)

Thanks for taking the time to listen!

"moments of genius" lol! You make a man blush, glad you enjoy.

My current favorite is Slow Machines. When everything comes together around 1:40 it does me in.

rad, I really like Slow Machines

Rough experimental thing from the weekend, slipping from the "minimal" tag, but it's composed of only 5 tracks, so...

The tale of a satellite orbiting the earth. Its ascent and eventual descent . Listen to the light reflect off the solar array. Share its feelings of despair and beauty. Get lost in the stars

How'd you get all those loose drilly sounds in the second half? I like those

I also like the little waves of bass blip chaos that come in but i know how to make those

Thanks for listening =)

Run some one hit samples through FX while recording output. Chop out cool bits. Make new beat w/ cool bits,.

Recent track I've been working on. Needs a few tweaks but it's coming along nicely.

i like this. it's got a nice beat and it is scatty and frenetic with decent melody. nice. some of the high pitched synth noises are a bit loud to my earat about 1:30.

How are you running your tetra? i just had to sell mine because i couldn't quite get it to work how i wanted it to....

I'm running my tetra thru a BCR-2000 via MIDI. The USB on the unit is flaky... I also have a M4L patch and template all laid out for complete control of the Tetra within Live so i have access to everything . I've been considering switching the BCR over to USB mode for flexibility w/in Live, but I've yet to do so as I feel like I had trouble w/ the USB on it when I first started this setup.

I touched up that track over the morning w/ some coffee. Pretty sure it's complete now =)

cool! are you able to send a lot of automation with the m4l patch? i was using the soundtower editor and it was far from perfect.... lovely sounding synth though.... i made a few bits with it. (placid is all tetra and xoxbox)

Yeah, the M4L patch gives me automation of everything in the Tetra. The BCR is for tactile control. I found the Soundtower editor lacking as many others have, plus I just had issues w/ the USB implementation working all the time.

I love the sounds you can get out of it, especially on the extreme ends of the filter. Add in a little feedback and you can get some interesting results, it's currently my only HW synth. Nice track there, following now.

Did up a video for Wasted Saturday in anticipation of the album release. Should be out sometime next week on Virtual Urban Records

Bass + hardstyle drums + stuff

sick!!!

Nice one man

Another WIP. Think this could use a little acidy line or something on the second half, hopefully I'll have time to tinker later today. Slow build, lots of atmosphere, will also be adding some percussive details during the intro
