Getting the bassline to fit within all that(as well as it did, anyway) is what took most of my time.  Glad you liked it!

This is that track I was spending a really long time on last week.  It basically ate up this week as well, lol:

 

[Magic Autist's Trax Box]

Same here.  I've currently got myself set up with a rule to put a track up for feedback only on Wednesdays, so I can make sure I'm not too in the moment.  Stuff can sound so different the next day, lol.  If a track feels finished on a Wednesday, then It's still not 'finished', and I'll put up something else that I'm happy with.  I really think it helps out.

[Magic Autist's Trax Box]

They're really well integrated in a dreampop/shoegaze way.  

[sTeh B L]

Enjoyed that.  It's got some Royal Astronomy vibes for me.  

[Magic Autist's Trax Box]

CrystalVeil is fantastic.  Where do you get the vocals?

[The Bro]

The 909 is incredible on this.  Snappy and punishing.  The high synth at the midway point add's some detroit to the track.  Weirdly enough it was the Hoover that grabbed me the least!  Looking forward to where you go with this one.

[Digital Desperation]

Lost in the Void is my favorite of the bunch(I first heard it in that other thread where it was posted), but it was cool listening to the others.  Overall, I get Stereolab/Mu-Ziq vibes here and there.  The Moog/MS20ish sound in Bunker Bitch at around 2min grabbed me as well.  If I had any suggestions, I guess I would say if I were remixing any of these, I'd add more synth-y weirdness.  Like Raymond Scott style modular/analogue noodles to sit alongside the more traditional sounding instruments.   Good stuff!

I spent a really long time on a track this week, and I still don't like it, haha.  Taking a break from that, I also did a separate quickie jam with the Rubicon and Spring reverb, which I thought was fun, so here's that instead:

 

 

[New Glomewav tracks]

Really enjoyed this one.  The spectral sounding textures are really well selected.

Jokes on him, I just stole it like National Treasure.

[Luke Vibert on BBC Radio 1's Essential Mix]

oh, gotcha.  I just jumped right in.  I'm going to grab this later, regardless.  

[Luke Vibert on BBC Radio 1's Essential Mix]

I think they usually do?  I hope they do, regardless.    This track is excellent too.  That metallic delay is bueno. 

[Luke Vibert on BBC Radio 1's Essential Mix]

It would fit just about anywhere.  Any clue on that last track?  Had kind of a flute sound over a 909?

[Luke Vibert on BBC Radio 1's Essential Mix]

Caught this just in time.  Very happy for him.  

[Songs by Tramic]

Another WIP.  I'm really happy with the FM sound I was able to get from my Rubicon, but I'm just not sure what else to add to the track.  

 

[your weekly thawkins]

Another lovely track.   It has a pleasant hypnotic flow.

[The Bro]

That hoover/mentasm type thing and 909 are really catchy.  The rest of the elements didn't really jump out at me, but the foundation is solid.

Thanks man. This was a long time back! I used to record everything to tape even though mp3 was around. I can't even remember why I did that now lol.

Adds flavor.    I bought a tape deck specifically to try that with a few tracks(also to listen to old tapes).

most recent one: this sounds like it'd be fun to dance to, the way you've got that very mobile kick/bass combo, and the fast breaks that just come in for little bursts like patches of flowers. just enough time to do something expressive to...i've always been big on that family of synth sounds - the one that's doing the main riff in this track. and tasteful use of bitcrusher at the end! i feel like ppl often go way to ham on the bitcrush, but here it's subtle & nice

feb24th track: ooh another really lush lead synth. similar vibes to the previous track, but in a good way. i could listen to an entire liveset of stuff like this. the little blippy synth with the echo midway through! nice surprise.. good production all round.

1997: i hope that wasn't the year you were born or something. you would have joined watmm when you were 10....anyways, this track! i kinda want to hear what this one sounds like slowed down. i have a lot of tracks on my computer i pretty much exclusively listen to at 5/6th speed, 2/3rds speed, etc. I feel like this one would be pretty lush that way

clockworks: okay now this one has a different energy! i dunno, i think it might be my favourite out of these four. Hard to say. on the one hand the production is so much more straightforward here, but that synth is really interesting to my ears. i'm kinda into techno primitivism....ooh again at the midway point there's a real nice blippy/glidey synth that comes in

Thanks for listening!  Nah, I was in high school in 1997.  That was when Hard Normal Daddy came out, and I decided to lean into that direction once the track started going in that direction.  Clockworks started from an accidental patch in my eurorack sequencer.  Sometimes I spend forever on stuff, but that one started working right away.

Love it man. Beats are fire!!! Only hearing it through Laptop speakers so I'm guessing there's some sub under there too. Could do with a hook otherwise very nice.

Thanks!  I'm really happy with the bass on this one.  I kind of feel like I've cracked a code for that.  I’ve hit a pretty good stride lately where I’m recording 3-4 tracks a week. I’m finding that I like some stuff I’ve made after the fact more than in the moment, so I decided to just record whatever I have for the day. My main issue lately is getting caught up in technical experiments that don’t result in anything. I try to look at it as learning experience, but I’d rather learn while making something. I’m being to hard on myself, though. This is the most productive I’ve been…ever, maybe?  Thanks for listening.

That formant/degraded sound at the beginning Got Styles is super nice.  You've got a real knack for drum machine layering as well.  I have a few tracks from that era(Jeskola Buzz!), but I have a feeling they didn't age very well, lol.

Happy Wednesday:

Yea I'm still getting a handle on 11, but I'm already finding that it's much nicer to adjust direct probability values rather than working through devices.  I think if I ever buckle down and attempt to create a Max for Live device, it would be a version of Beat Repeat that works for MIDI instead of audio.  

[Magnox]

Nice stuff.  You've got a really good instinct on choosing sounds imo.  It makes the minimal stuff really work.  What kind of devices are you using to create the generative rhythms?
