Day 311: Tuesday 4 July 2016 [Day 8 Holiday]
Untrue Development (Edition):
Today feels like a downtempo version of an 80’s Synth Pop track. Not my usual cup of tea to say the least but my current flirtation with Gadget is taking me to some strange places indeed. I used TwistedWave, AudioShare, ApeFilter, and Dedalus to try and bring it a little closer to my usual texture. Not sure if that helped or not 🙂
Anyway it is what it is, I hope it brings you pleasure.

Day 310: Sunday 3 July 2016 [Day 7 Holiday]
Calm The Fuck Down:
More of an Ambient approach today, still using Gadget as it’s quick and easy to work with, which I need while I’m on my holiday. I also used Dedalus for texture and TwistedWave for a little trim and fade tidying up.

Day 309: Saturday 2 July 2016
Concrete Jungle:
Something a little different from me today, in fact this is to quote Monty Python ‘Something completely different’.
Firo is an app that I’ve barely used, I had a play with it today and this is the result. I didn’t start out to make something like this, it just happened.
After jamming in Firo I exported the midi to Auria where I separated the bass part and gave it to two different instruments, added a little reverb, and adjusted volumes. Then I ran the result through Dedalus.
I’m surprised by this track but very pleased with it.
Hope you enjoy.

Well Adjusted Head:
Continuing my Gadget obsession today with another little downtempo piece of electronica. Today I also used AudioShare, ApeFilter, Dedalus, AUFX:Dub, and Auria.

Day 307: Thursday 30 June 2016 [Day 4 Holiday]
The City Blooms Recalcitrant:
I seem to be alternating lately between beat based tracks and soudscape tracks; that wasn’t intentional, just something I noticed. So it must be Soundscape time!
This track in fact veers towards the Noisescape. I made it with Addictive Synth, just jamming with a sound I found using the randomise function. I put it into Auria for a little mixing goodness but otherwise its a straight jam with that one patch.

Day 306: Weds 29 June 2016 [Day 3 Holiday]
Laxative Is The Key:
There’s a beat and a bassline and some vocals, does that make it a song? Not the way I do it.
iElectribe for the drums, iFretless Bass for (you guessed it) the bass. The vocals is on two tracks, one effected by VoxSyn and the other by Harmony Voice. Assembled in Auria.

Plain Sailing:
An Ambient Soundscape.
I made this using another of my standard modus operandi; play with a synth app making several patches and jams then combine them. Today I used Magellan and this soundscape is the result of combining three of the jams together in Auria.

Fluid Victoria Extract:
Another Downtempo Electronica piece courtesy of Gadget. This app is really fun to use and full of so many possibilities.
I made this on the plane between Oslo and Bangkok.
Made in Gadget, ran it through Dedalus, back to Gadget and exported a sparser version, ran that through Dedalus, arranged the two together in Auria. This is becoming a standard workflow for me for this sort of track but so far I’m happy with the results.

Day 303: Sunday 26 June 2016
ASX:
Today I am indulging in a side of my music making that hasn’t got much of a look in on this blog recently. I am interested in exploring the boundaries and limits of what music is. Specifically I have been thinking about silence and about noise, about silence and sound, about noise and non-noise, about the place where all these things meet, and what they might say to each over a coffee or a beer.
I use Addictive Synth to make the noise, Auria to structure it, and Caramel and Dedalus for extra texture.
Peace Out Tracklings.

QB2B:
Still playing with the downtempo electronica beat thing. Gadget again featuring here with a little help from Addictive Synth, which made the explosions, and of course from Dedalus and Auria with out whose help I would be at a loss.
