Ho boy I hope this wasn’t a mistake  I am basically a total music production newbie, but I like music, at least!! I’ve already got some ideas and possible paths I can take. Some history and interviewing to do, too. Fair warning: I have significant industrial influence, ssssoooooooo

I haven’t done anything for this yet. Haven’t heard any other submissions either. I have some ideas about what I want to make, but I don’t have the education or experience to pull it off well so it’s gonna be godawful. If it’s alright, I wanna post my current thoughts. Under spoilers so no one is unduly influenced by what I want to make. I find it interesting that we’re getting a prompt about Reagan and spooky-scary-season alongside synthesizers and samples (including sampled speech). From everything I know about electronic history at the time, all of these elements veered close to each other but never quite converged on a single point, so welding them all together is gonna take some synthesis (  ) of contemporary genres and sounds.This is also going to be tonally interesting, complex, and honestly difficult. Reagan and the poo poo he kicked off conjures up an angry, explosive, and spiteful mood in me. Halloween, on the other hand, is a cold, quickly-darkening season full of dread, horror, and anxiety - so I associate it with a heavier, darker, more lethargic mindset (plus more than a little anxiety). These are somewhat opposing energies. I have no idea how to communicate both resentful rage and plodding despair at the same time, and I’ve never really seen it happen in electronic genres either. Darkwave is the closest thing I can think of, but it’s too high energy and doesn’t really make use of sampled speech. I hate to say this, but the best example I can immediately draw from is early Nine Inch Nails  In the meantime, I’m gonna try exploring these genres and pull from them: - Industrial - Breakbeat - Darkwave - Gothic rock - Dark electro And I’d love band suggestions!

Alright, well, holy poo poo I’ve got a lot to listen to. Sunachai and VNV Nation in particular caught my ear, Empress of the Starved Lung is intimidating (in a good way). Listening to cool music and making cool music are completely separate things so don’t expect my entry to be on the level of these motherfuckers but hey, I’ll try.

No, I don't know what happened either. https://soundcloud.com/retrocombine/elimination-nation Category: Recognizable Reagan I got as far as sampling VCV and cutting up speech clips, and then had no idea what to do next. So I said gently caress it and went full 14-year-old-with-their-first-sampler on it. No mixing, no mastering, no leveling, dumb memey poo poo, ear destruction. I don't think Reagan deserves any better than this. I just never want to look at it again

Toxxes are kinda funny when SA is in full college hazing ritual mode on someone who deserves it(?) but life is difficult enough already otherwise. I’m just glad to have accountability and responsibility on a deliverable, forcing me to create.

Is it okay if I go through these and comment on/ask questions about them before the voting process? I wouldn’t want to color expectations or bias anyone.

Danger - Octopus! posted:Okay I am done (well alright, I could have spent longer but the next couple of weeks will be crazy busy) so here is my finished submission and it is very much in the Identifiable Reagan category.  What was the bassline (the acid-y stuff) made by? The DFAM? What modulation/processing/FX? I love the hosed up growly poo poo you did to it, that plus still being squelchy af is

Danger - Octopus! posted:yessss thanks! The bassline that's there from the start is actually two separately recorded patches on the Werkstatt playing the same melody - when it starts getting that metallic/distorted sound going on, that's the second patch you're hearing being brought up over the first. They do both get tweaked a bit as it goes on but most of the shifting in the bassline is acutally just changes in which patch is louder. Modulation, honestly I can't remember because I was just loving around and got a sound I really liked. The only fx on that is a little bit of compression, overdrive and delay/reverb all in Ableton tho. I think I might have a photo of the patches somewhere I think I might be identifying that part more - I’m bad at telling the difference between bassline and leadline sometimes Whatever FX you have on that to make it sound all croaky is insane, and I’m really curious about the parameter automation on it, cause I’m always too lazy to tweak knobs on my acid-y lines. What chain did you have on it?Anyway it’s all great I really like it! Pollyanna fucked around with this message at 03:17 on Nov 2, 2022 |
