The Pleasant Peasant Receives A Present; Of Pheasant:
Not something you hear from me all that often; an electronica, beatscape, blippy-bloppy, is-it-Acid-cause-I-used-an-808-? sort of a thing š
Even when I use apps designed to blip and to blop I try to give them a different angle.
This is all Rebirth, my first attempt to use it though I’ve owned it forever. I jammed it into AudioShare with ApeFilter, AltiSpace, and Dedalus as effects.

Passing The Baton:
A short but sweet Electronica piece from me today; at 2.40 minutes it’s one of my shorter tracks, almost in pop territory, and its fast which is unusual for me.
The beat is from iSpark at 200 bpm, treated with ApeFilter and Emo Chorus. While the arpeggio is from Addictive Synth set at 100 bpm and treated with Dedalus and Muckraker. They were recorded separately in AudioShare then combined in Auria.

A Quiet Life: Your Text Here:
A Beatscape.
The beat is made with Patterning using my own drum kit, it was constructed by jamming into AudioShare with Dedalus as effect. I then made the arpeggio in Addictive Synth and combined them in Auria. The occasional bass was also from Addictive Synth; I use the same patch but with the arp turned off.
The Video:
I combined some iColorama jpegs in Pinnacle Pro along with a FluxFX video, imported that to CinemaFX for the scratches, then into Generate for the movement.

Mr Richard O’Shea Has A Close Shave:
A Beatscape.
For those new to this blog a Beatscape = a soundscape made entirely or mostly from drums/drum machines.
In this case I use 2 drum machine apps: DM1 and Patterning. One beat from each app plus a reversed version of the DM1 beat (reversed using TwistedWave).
They were assembled in Auria where I cut up and arranged them along with a sample of the classic Hollywood western ‘richocet’ which I took from the 1950 classic Winchester ’73.

Momentus Trivialus:
A Dronescape, a Soundscape, a Beatscape.
The bulk of this is 3 drones from Addictive Synth each played into Auria while I played with knobs and settings. There are also three beats from iSpark, one treated with Muckraker; they are slow and sparse and occasional as befits the mood.

Frantic:
Following on from yesterday’s uncharacteristically fast and jolly dance track, here is another, this one even faster. At least the first part is, about two thirds of the way in I segue to a slower version of the same beat, which has a very different character.
iSpark was the drum machine app again today, I have been enjoying it very much all week. The synth sound is from Poseidon and the bass from iFretless Bass. That’s it really, a deceptively simple track.

Speaking In Tongues:
A Beatscape/Vocalscape if there is such a thing.
This is related to yesterday’s track because both the beat and the vocals areĀ from the same beginnings.
Arturia’s iSpark provides the Beat. The vocal is a complicated mix of iSpeech TTS, Reverb, AudioShare, TwistedWave, Borderlands Granular, and Sector. The bass is from iFretless Bass. The whole thingĀ is imagined and put together in Auria Pro.
Cheers.
