after mucking about on the v-synth for a bit, i recorded some bits and arranged them into a track:

DOPE. I particularly like the breakdown/lead-in that happens around the 2:00 minute mark -> that deep bass. Could see this as a soundtrack piece to some dystopian/Cyberpunk future flick. Aces!

i made a trippy video

tried to get a bit experimental with this one

another experimental track.  i think this one gets good around 4 minutes in when i slow down the track's tempo

tried to capture a similar vibe to clarence park era clark.

an attempt at making some kind of 80s house

some acid

i made a mix of my own music:

and here's this grotesque monster of a track:

this one's a bit smoother and softer:

back to more harsh tones

Mood3b- I like the crisp digital vibe. Especially liking the bitcrushing going on at around 5:00. A head bobber for sure.

shout out hyundai elantra

back with a couple more raucous acid bangers:

edit:  "harrisonburg" is almost done, "lewis street" needs more work.

pretty happy with this one.  kinda in the vein of boards of canada.

Sound design is all over the place what with the stereo drum hits and distortion and spectral (??) stuff, I like it though, that heavy organ sound and the overall groove makes it sound almost like some nu-jazz/fusion track. Bloops and twinkles near the end also fit with that.

some kind of triumphant acid dnb track

Playing around with some dnb on my Octatrack, and I think this work in progress is coming along nicely!

I really like this one, good positive energy with the synths and the drums move it right along! I'd personally automate different aspects of at least the acid synth line a bit more, but what you have works. Nice job!

This sounds amazing. I can't imagine using a device like that - must take a lot of practice.

Thanks!!  It definitely took a while to understand the Octatrack, but I've been mucking about with grooveboxes and this kind of stuff for a while now.  Honestly, once I understood the system and the lingo, it quickly became loads of fun to play--much more than any other live setup I've worked with in the past.

It's funny how opaque the process for making electronic music can be from another musician's perspective.  In listening to your stuff, I'm very intrigued by the textures and sounds you're able to achieve, and while I have my own educated guesses on how you achieve your sounds, they're still just guesses!

here's another live jam on the octatrack:
