Explore the wilder, more #experimental side of my work with Metaphysical Shitposting, an evolving collection (new tracks added about once a month) of #drone, #ambient and #soundscape pieces, with the occasional splash of musique concrete, #kosmische and #noise mixed in to keep things interesting.
@synths My album Keep Out of Reach of Children is available for FREE on Bandcamp right now. It’s pure electronic sound & I hope it connects with folks.
Well, would you look at (listen to) that? Another entry in the Metaphysical Shitposting oeuvre popped up overnight! The newest track is called "Demon Rodeo" and it's a rhythmic, percussive sortie into weird space, with lots of weird voicings poking thru the mix. Have a listen!
If you haven't checked out Metaphysical Shitposting in a while (or ever), now is a great time! It's up to 5 tracks, and still just $3! BUT the 6th track is nearly done, and when I upload it, the price will go to $5. If you buy now, at $3, you get the whole album, no matter how big it gets or how much it ends up costing! WHAT A BARGAIN!
If you haven't checked in on Metaphysical Shitposting since its release (or maybe not at all), it's time to have another (or first) listen. The album-in-progress has, as promised, continued to progress! The original pair of tracks has grown to 5! But that price is still just $3 --- for now! 5 lofi tracks of spacy weirdness and weird sound design for your enjoyment.
My latest track for Metaphysical Shitposting is "Adrift in Currents of Ether." It's an attempt to capture (and render into musical form) that feeling you get when the drugs are really kicking in, and you close your eyes a moment to get your bearings... Only to forget you have eyes, or bearings or even an existence on a physical plane... Waves of color and motion overtake you, your ego starts fizzing away and now you're adrift...in currents of Ether.
Also used this! (That's the #Soma#Terra if you aren't familiar.)
This patch was based off a simple 4 note sequence sent to the 0-Coast/Strega combo, patched so that the voices alternated to some degree (via some clever use of envelopes IIRC).
I multed out of that and into the Panharmonium to get some harmony. It's set to +7 semitones and the center frequency and bandwidth are modulated to get some tonal variations. Output of that goes into Doepfer SEM filter, into Tallin VCA, and then out.
Should mention that I used Sequins mode of Ornament and Crime for sequencing. Pam's handles most of the clocking, tho the actual pulse came from the 0-Coast.
Weird, bubbly "percussion" sounds came from the benjolin, which feeds into a Disting EX in Augustus Loop mode (basically a fancy delay).
Additional/send effects for the patch provided by Desmodus Versio on reverb and Mimeophon on delay.
Various modulation from the Function, Sloths and Flexshaper modules.
