New set of tracks on soundcloud - 'decoy'

2011-05-20T20:14:00.000-07:00

I just put together a bunch of new tracks over the last 3 weeks, thought I would share them on soundcloud. An EP type collection titled 'decoy'. Pretty much worked them over on the Octatrack based off of samples from various pieces of my analog gear (xox, telemark, evolver). Some other synths got some play too like my sammich SID and a little AX-60. Finally I arranged it all in Cubase for mastering.

RIP Paul...

2011-01-17T11:22:00.001-08:00

The greater half of Paratronik, Paul Jones passed away January 6, 2011. Paul and I began working on Paratronik about a year or so ago building on live analog sessions. The idea was pretty simple: plug some gear in and see what happens. The whole BRAP concept the Skinny Puppy pioneered was the heart of the work. By summer I plan on compiling/re-working/re-mixing those sessions into a proper release, something I believe he would have been proud of. It's very sad to know he is gone, I only wish we had more time.

DRIL - white visitation

2010-05-09T21:01:00.000-07:00

DRIL-white visitation by DRIL

My first song composed entirely on a Elektron Monomachine and Machinedrum. Set up in song mode, recorded to 2 tracks.

Good Timing! (for me at least!)

2010-03-24T07:57:00.000-07:00

So I was just about to drop a load of cash on a Machinedrum a couple of weeks back. However I decided to hold off because I got wind of the mystery Octatrack that was floating about on the internets and figured lets see what this is. Oh, additionally I forgot to mention that I have been aching to DUMP Cubase 5 for months, eying Ableton as the potential ship to jump to. Ok, back to my train of jumpy thought, the Octatrack and Elektron! Ok, first up the MD is dropping in price, and it is going to be upgraded in a huge way. The new upgrade shipped with all MD's forward is called +Drive, and will offer 128X the current memory capacity. So if you want a MD now, wait. The deal gets better, at least for me that is. The Octatrack is looking to be Ableton in a sexy Swedish box.

From Gear4Music:

"Billed by Elektron as 'creative and timeless sampling' the Octatrack offers an incredibly innovative take on sampling, allowing straightforward recording of samples on the fly so you can get down to business immediately.
Loops are treated with complete elasticity remaining in sync whether they are pitch shifted or the tempo of the device is changed.
Single sounds can be moulded into virtually any shape, with Elektron claiming that static samples are now a thing of the past.
On board you have a compact flash card for massive library storage, alongside a USB port for rapid file transfer.
With the addition of an optical cross fader, Elektron have succeeded in adding further parameter control to an already incredibly detailed machine."

http://www.gear4music.com/news/article/Musikmesse-2010-Elektron-debut-long-awaited-Octatrack/1D4/2010-03-24

So, this could not have come at a better time for me. I just got addicted to doing everything without a computer, and jumping back to being tethered to software for sequencing I was hoping to avoid but this product has a lot of potential when paired with my other analog gear.

My goal would be to avoid Ableton (if possible), avoid the USB controller, avoid the laptop, and instead get the Octatrack (if in fact it can accomplish what I want) and a MD +drive.

So, things are looking up, I can't wait to hear more about these 2 and when they will be available!

Minimal Live Recording Complete...

2010-03-11T08:06:00.000-08:00

I did finish the minimal live tracks I set out to accomplish on 2/10/2010. Actually finished it a week before my self imposed deadline, and had 12 tracks to the 8 that I envisioned. I just need to figure out the best place to post it, probably up on Archive.org in the next week or so. I have been busy putting together a track for a comp on Laridae.at at the moment so this went on the back burner.

Here is the details for the release once I get it out:

DRIL | inside/outside
A collection of 10 selected sessions and live mixes assembled over a 3 week period in Feburary 2010.
All tracks were composed solely using a the following hardware instruments:

Vermona DRM-1 MKIII (percussion)
DSI Mopho (bleeps/percussion/bass/lead/live sequences)
x0xb0x (bass/lead)
Korg ESX-1 (main sequencer and effects only)
Korg Mini KP (main effects processor)
Grundig G5 (shortwave radio)
Tascam DR-07 (samples and "tape" loops)

Tracks were all recorded down to 2 track stereo, unedited before applying a simple mastering process (limiter, slight EQ on the final mix).
