    Too long to fit on it I think. Unless they lying about the track lengths.

    Another track I would love to hear that I haven't heard anyone mention yet is this one. Wonder if it's on the EP:

    I think it's kind of ridiculous too. Feels very unstructured and random how they are hyping things, doesn't feel like a real ARG, having the wrong dates revealed in the source code at first, having a countdown "percentage" on the website of the developer rather than a dedicated URL on the site, leaking a qr code early that leads to an empty google drive, exclusive stuff only at one festival but not the other ones. Feels very much like they hired this company to generate hype but then have been super messy on execution. That being said I'll be happy as hell to be blessed with some new tracks one way or another

    WAPP480

    I still feel like something is up with this WAP480 thing, I don't think we've ever seen exactly "WAP480" from any official source. We've only seen WAPP480, yes, remove one of the Ps and you get WAP480, but swap out a P for an R and you get WARP480, which is the album catalog naming scheme. I still hold that the "APP" part of "WAPP480" is simply a catalog number for apps, and that this might end up being WARP480. I'm thinking there will be a few singles released throughout the summer and then in September at the end of the festival dates, an album. Speculation on my part for sure, and I'm probably wrong, but based on the percentages thing on that website, it's only at 7% currently (or maybe it's higher, I can't figure out where the website is anymore). Wouldn't we have seen that percentage climb up further by now if it is supposed to lead up to a release this month?

     

    EDIT: That being said, 3 out of 9 tour dates completed is 33% not 7%. Still whats up with that 7% what does it mean

    Tour Dates 2023

    this is such a great set of unreleased tracks. Catchy melodic lines and beats. I hope the released version of the box teaser track includes the argument between the dancing dude and the guy that wants him to stand completely still, at this point feels like part of the track

    If I remember correctly minipops67 was released as a digital single before the release of Syro ?

    This, I'm not buying warp would budget this kind of promotional app, plus stage design for a black box/cube in the same theme, just for a 4 min single. I can buy that a single is coming but not that it's standalone.

    Yees thank you At least a minute! 

    Omg all the swedes like "hey let's go 20 seconds recordings!" 

    Not totally sure if this one is better or not, feels stitched together or something, but you hear a lot of the track (the beginning sounds like live noodling on a 303, not sure if it's part of the same track)

     

    Actually this version might be even a better recording of it

    WAPP480... doesn't that mean an EP is imminent? 

    Not sure about that catalog number. Aren't they usually WARP-something or WAP? Seems like maybe a catalog number they use for APPs hence the APP part of it. That being said, what does it mean if not a release or something. Maybe each show this summer will let you augment reality to show a different snippet of a track during the tour and then at the end there will be a release or something.

    I used to love sequencing things from my 1st octatrack. The timing was tight, the process was easy and I'd just jam out tracks all the time. For some reason though I don't have the same urge to do things like that anymore which is a bit of a shame as I used to really enjoy it. I guess I'm just trying to find a process that I equally enjoy but am struggling with it. Anyway, boo hoo for me etc etc ?

     I still do this. I used to think I needed something more powerful going from a DAW world where i would write meticulous and complex melodic lines on a piano roll to an octatrack world I was worried I would be too limited, I researched and researched to find the right thing to supplement and couldn't decide what to do. I put myself on the cirklon waiting list. It finally got to be my turn after a couple years. I tried to get it, the link they sent didn't work and they never replied to help me.... whatever. I realized that I didn't need it for my workflow anyway after I forced myself to push past the "limitations" of the octatrack and that such complexity would bog me down and take away from the workflow I already cultivated and the sound I was developing. I can sync my samples/breaks/synths all from the same box and it actually really easy to get more polyphony and I would even argue that using multiple tracks makes it easier to do interesting layering/overlapping of lines. I started using an actual keyboard to write my melodies and it actually didn't hold me back at all, in fact I think it opened things up slightly and helped me learn a better way of working that I started incorporating back into the DAW.  But yeah, otoh, that process took me like 5 years to get comfortable with, it was also very draining at times.

    Intervallux - Nostradamus Excursion

    Thanks for the kind words, I actually cut "nose" originally from the list and then added it back only recently so I'm glad you like it. Yeah there will be a bandcamp release. I got a bit flustered because I put the wrong album name in distrokid so I'm waiting for that to get fixed. "nostradamus" should be spelled correctly lol :facepalm:

    Losing the Passion for Creating

    in Music Discussion

    Posted

    My thought is, no need to force yourself to be passionate about something that doesn't bring you up. I've taken big breaks from music and come back. But it's also ok if you don't

     

    I don't know how to relate to the concept of being a musician having to remember and practice a piece to be able to keep performing. I stand more on the "producer" side of things and like making new things most of the time. You could try working on a studio album not meant to be performed live, that might bring new life/joy into it. No pressure to keep practicing, just one and done.

    Woah that collection takes me back - Though nicely priced I wonder why he's started charging for them (especially as they're still just 32bit vsts and don't appear to have been updated since the 00s when they were still gratis)

    same haha I was just looking at that. I think those are some of the first plugins I ever downloaded, probably circa 2004. I remember making some chippy sounds with peach in particular
