Found vcv over a year ago, perfectly when I was getting interested in Eurorack. Played a lot, learned a lot, then had a break, until now when I read about the mi-rack-thing [discussion closed here, I really regret buying it…].
Well, at least it ignited a new flame for this wonderful music engine. So, yesterday, as I was in bed suffering from severe manflu, I made another small song. Below my evolving playlist of vcv-adventures.
Enjoy & please comment –– all feedback welcome. My goal is to go slower, but as an old punkrocker, it is really hard
Thanks! Actually do already, but still at home. Freelance-worker, so can work anywhere, but spent the morning on a new track “Crossfader” –– inspired by the Patch&Tweak-files from p125. Could play that silly droning all day.
Really feel like I´m getting closer to the “it” I´m looking for. Do you hear it, or is it just me getting too much satisfaction from the tweakin – of course it is a lot about personal preferences, but that aside? I work as a creative, vcv & music is just a hobby, so really feel free to roast this as much as you like, the nastier the better
Of all the music you display here, I like this one the best. It is the closest to “it”. The Bolero-style underbeat drives the song very nicely. The variety in the pad changes very smoothly and you can feel the rise in tension (and see it in the SoundCloud graph). I didn’t fully care for the sounds in the climax, but some climax was the right thing to do. For a long piece it has a good flow.
This is my first true drone-piece. Got inspired by Omri Cohen & Vult Modulars Day of the Dead -challenge.
The sounds, the drone, is a hommage to my late father, who died of a heart-attack on the 25th of December some years ago. He was a firefighter, and in his younger years a diver. He learned me to swim, which is almost more than I can say that I have done for my kids.
I think I am slowly getting over the loss of my father.
Notes on the audio:
10:30 – 12:20 – might blow your speakers, the levels are really off.
Will go offline for a week or two, trying to achieve even more slowing down. Will leave you for a while with a crappy recording of my semi-drunken madness gig from my dayjobs Christmas parties after-party. // not vcv //
Showed a colleague (I work at a theatre, so everybody likes creative madness) a insta with my experiment with tapeloops & he asked me to “headline” the afterparty. So I made some more loops & practiced my clarinet and played a 20 minute “live-set”. Which was fun. First approx 7 minutes is the warmup with a “learn english”-cassette. After that my own loops. Enjoy Your holidays however & wherever You are.
And yes, I drank that little Jallu-hotel bottle afterwards.
First exit of the rabbit hole that #VCP-49 / Ghosts / put me through. Some easy ambient with “fied recordings” of / from Helsinki metro (samples & ambient):
I loved the #VCP-50 metalchallenge and although I never got anything done for the challenge, this came out. Again I am using a iphone-recorded sample as starting point, to give the tune some nice and dreamy feel. Hope You enjoy it.
