inspired by a funny podcast I thought, hey, I can probably try to model the 808 kickdrum too it shouldn't be too hard.
it wasn't!
proceeded to attemp the snaredrum. exactly an hour and a half in total, got somewhere, can probably make techno now, with a little bit of waveshaping at the output (hypertangent and a couple gains here) and if I improve the sequencing instead of having 2 clocks each for kick and snare, which is where the polyrhythm comes from.


at this point this reminds me of twiddling with @woops on his modular after 8pm on tuesday.

what you have here is a click (shape of which I draw by hand into a table of values), going into a delay-feedback loop with a resonant lowpass filter inside, basically karplus strong tuned low!
only difference for the snare is it gets multiplied by white noise within the feedback loop, bandpass instead of lowpass, and output is in a slightly different spot. I have to say it works better than the kick at this point.
I especially like how if you turn up the delay time (aka turn down pitch tuning of the delay loop) you get this funky almost roll/dispersal of the hit

just put up some records that have been in storage since about this time last year, decided to release em all at once rather than stagger em #smashandgrab

"Good evening!
I'm putting out several LP's I've had on backlog for a while on this page tonight. At the risk of sounding melodramatic, the broader ~internet music scene~ feels barren and hostile. Commitments in my personal life and issues involving the transformation of ideological consciousness into political consciousness seem to also only be ratcheting up with each passing year.
I don't imagine I will be anywhere near prolific as I have been since setting out on making music for you to listen to in 2011 - the 2020's have already seen not only my output dialed back considerably, but also opportunities to compose and record in the kind of leisure and focus the work deserves begin to disappear. Music as an individual affair confined to the bedroom and the portable workstation appeals less libidinally all the time, but no lasting ensemble of persons or adequate space for hardware has yet materialised.
I will try to leave little write-ups in individual track descriptions as presents for you.

To here knows when,

The reason I made this is because I've been telling people that since streaming services and their respective shows have been suffering, HBO Max will be merging with Apple TV, and the first thing that will be doing to save money is to combine Slow Horses with Game of Thrones: House of the Dragon.

Games of Thrones: House of the Dragon is doing so poorly that they've decided to market to every niche musical subculture they can find even including French experimental hardcore techno and speedcore.



funny note: Often when I put up something like this, there is a copyright notice, if not a warning, but youtube doesn't recognize this at all I guess even though the melody is the exact same - the sound is just heavily affected and chopped into very strict and fast 16th notes.

Points to anyone that can tell me the Frenchcore track I used :p
maybe @thirdform ?

some stuff I was messing around with before the hurricane hit so I didn't fully flesh out ideas:
(yes, I know I said I always hated The Smiths, but this track had those great guitar parts)

The Smiths (Alternate Universe) - How Funk Is Dub?
In an alternate universe, except for a different version of Morrissey, The Smiths were a completely different band that played a sort of fusion of funk and dub.


and for something completely different:
messing around with the track Dynamix, by Luz1e

prompted by Automatics Group - Summer Mix and more recent Freeka Tet edits on the new Amnesia Scanner release, and importantly, a conversation with a frien
an attempt reverse-engineering the method applied: fft, replacing the phase information with a steady clock, inverse fft to get audio back

first attempt in max (realtime):


python with way larger window size:

I'm thinking that this actually wouldn't be out of place on the first Seefeel album.

This sounds super cool - could you go into a bit more detail about what you're mean by "replacing the phase information with a steady clock" - are you doing something like converting the complex coefficients that the fft spits out to amplitudes and phases then swapping in a new set of phases and converting back to complex coefficients before doing the ifft? And presumably you're doing this to chunks of the original track at a time based on the window size?

Exactly how you said. The phase is original phase is discarded and replaced with an exp ramp up/down that completes a cycle exactly within window size (or just a 1hz sine in case of Max, couldn't be bothered).
And presumably you're doing this to chunks of the original track at a time based on the window size?
Yep, real-time processing has some limitations in terms of window size tho. So after fiddling with Max for a bit I decided to just do it in Python for the sake of stupidly large window size that's needed for the output to be properly lush.

I wanted to remove her vocals as they're a bit much, but they seem stem separation resistant so I guess she lives up to the track title.

Remix done in real time by adding effects to a couple of loops of sounds (from the track being remixed) in order to make the loops sound a lot different.

Everything is always remixed in real time in virtual dj, not programmed, and done on an old, dying, glitching computer with a USB mixer so if it's not perfect then that's the reason.
