Day 350: Friday 12 August 2016
Cruciform Peritonitis:

A solemn Soundscape takes a melancholy turn with the introduction of melodic and beat elements.
Soundscaper recorded with AUFX:Dub, FLUX:FX, and Dedalus in AudioShare using a Gadget file as sound source. Combined in Auria with an iMaschine jam.

Standing In A Glass House: Stone In Hand:
This slightly paranoid Beatscape struggles with itself before the Lithium kicks in.
The beat was made with DM2 and then flavoured with Dedalus, ApeFilter, and FLUX:FX (twice). Also used were AudioShare and Auria.

Toad Tango:
An Abstract Soundscape that somehow goes to prove that toads can tango too.
Made primarily with Borderlands Granular and Idensity, both using a Gadget file as the sound source. Some effects courtesy of AUFX:Dub and Dedalus. And finally of course AudioShare was the facilitator and Auria was the queen bee.
Most of today was taken up with ‘housekeeping’, the boring but essential behind the scenes tasks like filing, making space on the iPad, tidying the hard drive etc etc.
It’s not all glamour and glitz at TrackaDay you know 🙂
Keep on truckin’ Trackers.

Wandering:
I do love an Abstract Soundscape. An immersive journey through (and with) sound.
iDensity was the only app used today. I highly recommend it for this sort of music.

Day 346: Monday 8 August 2016
Missed:
A simple little unassuming piece of electronica today.
Gadget was where it all began but I also used AudioShare and FLUX:FX to mess it up before moving things to Auria for mixing and arranging,. Then I added a Patterning beat, then another, before finally rearranging everything as you hear.

Day 345: Sunday 7 August 2016
Made To Measure:
An Ambient piece today.
I started with the bassline that I made with iFretless Bass recorded into Auria, then I added the electric piano using Module which I recorded as both audio and midi, then I gave the midi to a glockenspiel (using Auria’s inbuilt sampler) and two different sounds from Addictive Synth. Finally I added a drum hit from my ‘beat snippets’ folder in AudioShare where I collect bits for just such an occasion.

Megatron Bitemiester:
This one has an angry feel, hence the artwork to match 😉
I used a slightly different process today; recording my MicroBrute into AudioShare via BiasFX. It’s a simple arpeggio that I played with the sequencer while adjusting settings. I then added some drums.
AudioShare, BiasFX, TwistedWave, Auria, DM1, Caramel.

Day 342: Thursday 4 August 2016
Lost:
A playlist for you today, a mini album, an EP. Four tracks that take you on a journey, or rather lose you on one.
The apps used: Moodscaper, Gadget, AudioShare, Dedalus, ApeFilter, FLUX:FX.
I hope you enjoy the experience. Rock on Tracklings.

The Crucible Burns (Slow & Dark):
Slow and dark, mean spirited and painful; this Beatscape borders on the chaotic and the abstract, it punishes the pure and the wicked alike, it lavishes it’s disinterested brutality on all comers. You have been warned.
iMaschine 2, Dedalus, ApeFilter, AudioShare.
