Sonic log #3

Diving into the realms of highly experimental today with this one, an ambient, rhythmic adventure in sound driven by my. OXI One and the iPad M4

Striving to come up with something frequently is a challenge for sure but it will help you develop key skills in music production, including ways of generating more notes than you need when using sequencing tools and then filtering some of it out. In this instance, I am using

  • Axon 3

  • Synthmaster 2

  • Monolit

  • Twin 3

  • Along with Bleass Delay (really shapes the sound in this massively), GlitchCore, Cascade, Weeping Wall and Eventide Blackhole for effects.

The Oxi one was connected via Bluetooth and the whole setup routed through my Arturia Minifuse 4 for monitoring. This I will bring along with me to the next event I perform at this summer, which will be the very first time in my entire life I have done such a thing.

I’ve hidden for many years behind the computer, releasing stuff on Soundcloud for ages but have never performed in front of people. So I shall let you know when I do and give you the wrong dates, as I am as shy as f**k. Except I’m not, I just think I am.

I know Ben from ModCaf is probably reading this.

So the Oxi was running in Stochastic mode C Phyrigian I think I’d set it to, as that is a favourite scale, commonly used too from what I’ve read.

As a side note, I am writing this on my iPad but using a regular Apple wireless keyboard to do so, it works very well. I never tried this with the old tablet.

Fancy a poll? Yeah let’s get to know you readers a little bit more and once answered, why not elaborate on the question in the comments section or reply to this email, if you read my stuff that way.

Anyway thanks as ever for your time. I enjoy putting these together and out of the platforms out there, for all of its faults (they all have one or two), Substack rocks!

Enjoy the sunshine and wear sunscreen! (That’s for my fellow Brits, doesn’t apply to Americans, you’re used to it - Just kidding)
