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.
Noticing
/139 - Paper Drums
Tonight I started work on this week’s disquiet junto project. A long time ago I noticed the cool sound it makes when you snap your fingers on a sheet of printer paper and thought “hey I should make a drum kit out of this.” Ok, here we go. Gathered up a bunch of different weight/textured paper to generate enough sounds to fill a “kit.” Will post the samples when I get them processed. Pretty funny project for me since I almost never use drums or percussion in my music.
Sorry for the food pic, but I don’t cook much (too many years working in kitchens and a wife who is amazing) and I thoroughly enjoyed making and eating this tonight. Korean bbq soy curls, broccoli and brown rice. Simple vegan comfort food FTW. Extra shout out to Emi for actually trying broccoli and then eating a few pieces of it. Remains to be seen if “I like it!” was a fluke.
