Squarespace had an outage last night which prevented me from posting…
It’s very rare that I do anything synced, typically preferring overlapping generative sequences/loops. Was playing with Model:Samples and randomly (ha) decided to plug in into Norns to clock Awake, with a little reverse delay for color. Was nice.
This is very much out of the ordinary for my musical practice! I do so much unquantized/layered/looped that deliberately setting steps and locks is quite the challenge. Luckily for me Elektron has chance and trid conditions to let me feel more at home. Promise I’ll stay on grid next time.
Last weekend I watched a documentary on the birth of Chicago house and thought it would be cool to have a drum machine with a hands-on interface. I listened to minimal techno all week and made it to Wednesday before I ordered the Model:Samples. It arrived today and I only had about an hour with it — seems like it will be very fun once I get my own samples into it and stop accidentally erasing all my sequences. Haha
