Here’s a free track written within a week, for the 31st week in a row.
Aims
My aims to do something different to normal Jet Jagisms this week were:
- Use one hardware synth
- Jam live
- No edits
Reckons
I meeean, I wouldn’t listen to this again if it were someone else’s track.
But it was good to have a sort of palette cleanser and to make a track in almost real time. This took under half an hour from idea to upload.
Process
I turned on my one hardware synth, Lorre Mill’s Double Knot 3. The last patch I had set up was sounding good enough to go with.
The Double Knot sends two outs, I sent each output into a different reverb (Viiri Audio’s Aava, but it really could be any convolution reverb – I didn’t use any of the cool features that make Aava unique).
I had a bit of a trial play with the knobs and some live rewiring of the Double Knot and found some moves I liked.
I hit record on my DAW and improvised what you hear.
I layered in a quiet field recording of an interior space (actually a public toilet, ha) with a very high frequency noise from a bung fluoro light and the sounds of a lift going up and down somewhere relatively nearby.
Done!
