For an Octogenarian (disquiet0249) by Ya Wha? published on 2016-10-09T04:02:07Z Disquiet0249 - Happy Birthday, Steve Reich! http://disquiet.com/2016/10/06/junto-0249/ From a seed grows a tree, grows a forest. Used a simple instance of TAL Uno LX, with Chorus 1 and an up-down arpeggiator. Recorded three different five-bar loops of audio. Then duplicated that track, so I had two audio sequences playing. On one track, I used Voxengo Audio Delay plugin - wonderful free tool - automating some movements of the knobs, delaying the audio from the plugin from fractions of a millisecond up to 500 milliseconds. Got some nice phasing with delays of <1 millisecond, into unison, then syncopation, then doubling, and back around again. Bass part also treated with same process - the doubling on the fast envelopes is very obvious in parts, works well. Added brushed drums in 5/4 time, and a kick that loops ever 20 bars, but sounds pseudorandom mostly. Added some vsts on Sends - Ableton's Overdrive, Audio Damage Mangleverb, FXpansion Bloom, NI Replika XT, and two reverbs on the Master bus - Audio Damage EOS and a Convolution reverb, and the Nugen Stereoizer. Let's toast the main man, Steve!

In terms of straight-up midi notes, just three sequences of five four-note chords - so in total, 3*5*4=60 notes. Bass sequence was just a 50 bar sequence of audio played by a simple step sequencer at 1/16ths. And the two semitone playing fifths at the end. So, no, very few midi notes were harmed in the making of this track! :-) 2016-10-09T11:29:42Z Comment by pytchblend glorious transition 2016-10-09T09:07:59Z Comment by pytchblend loving this. almost black MIDI 2016-10-09T09:06:47Z
