Hitting record before midnight counts.
A completely ripped off note progression (E, F#, G#, B) from Alessandro Cortini’s piece titled ERA on the Make Noise Records release Strega Musica.
0-Control fed the pitch sequence to Strega, which Strega-fied it. Strega’s triangle wave output was copied and patched to channels one and two of QMMG for some low pass filtering, with slightly different cutoff frequencies and differently attenuated modulation to helped create a stereo effect in the note progression. I first tried feeding it through QPAS, but it simply didn’t sound very good.
The blip bloops were a failed experiment. I was hoping for sporadic, sparkly bits that would ornament the droning note sequence, but it ended up not really at all what I’d hoped. Jamuary inherently comes with struggles, and sometime the time demands that you push record, ready or not. I probably should have had those notes be simple sine or triangle waves from Spectraphon. Instead I tried to be cute by using the even and odd mixed outputs with some heavy handed modulation to Slide and Focus on both sides. It didn’t really work. It exists, and juxtaposes itself against the dark drone, but that’s about it. I added to the confusion by using the Sample and Hold feature to control both the X and Y channels of René,, and haphazardly at that.
Well call today’s patch…a Time/Filter Experiment gone wrong.
