Chaircrusher Music Thread

This one is sequenced in Ableton Live but it’s definitely influenced by the techniques I’ve worked out in Rack.

8 different channels of MIDI funnel into one channel of Kontakt. There are 3 rows of clips of various lengths between 3 meaures and 11 measures, each with one or two sustained notes. So I can play the arrangement triggering groups of clips. The notes drift past each other, occasionally lining up.

The vocal sample is an Italian radio DJ captured from Shortwave radio and processed through a bunch of effects.

The Piano is fattened up by runing it through Hainbach/AutoThing Wires and adding just a touch of warble & noise. Way in the backgorund you can hear a Live preset “Choir from Venus” or something like that, where I’ve filtered and added effects to until it’s just a vague dream.

For good measure I dropped in a noise bed of Juno 60 chorus noise.
