eryngi Posted June 8, 2019 Share Posted June 8, 2019 listened to veliform as i was drifting off to sleep this morning...really nice stuff. it's so visual... drawing shapes in my head... love the quite gentle sound of it all... esp veliforms ii & i. probably the kind of thing where if i listened while up and about i wouldn't be able to sink into it but, half asleep at 5am it was perfect 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dingformung Posted June 16, 2019 Share Posted June 16, 2019 The Veliform EP is very good. As always the sound design is amazing. I like the low-mid heavy mix and generative feel of it 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eczem Posted September 20, 2019 Author Share Posted September 20, 2019 A set of my older tracks. Starts with the very first eczem track. All one file. I'll most likely get them on bandcamp at some point. https://we.tl/t-gRRjIuJI47 2h:45m:57s 379 MB ------------------------------- Also, here's a recent track that started out as something for a side project and didn't make it there. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eczem Posted September 27, 2019 Author Share Posted September 27, 2019 Thanks for listening friends. @xoxThanks man These days I have a rotating/shifting approach using about 70% software, 30% hardware. For software, I've been using mainly Max/MSP, Razor, and Microtonic. Just picked up Reaktor, which is probably overkill now. I'll sometimes use tools like Audacity or Cecilia for .wav editing, but I use mostly synthesis. I usually record stereo into Reaper via Rewire for anything within Max/MSP; most of my mixing is done up front. My current hardware pieces are an old Nord Rack 1, the DSI Prophet '08, and most recently, the Elektron Digitone. Currently I'm working on replacing Microtonic with custom percussion modules in MSP... and I'm working on getting a more robust live-oriented performance system. The approach for each track on Vormaks is slightly different, but the common thread is Max as the main sequencer. Sound sources include most of the above mentioned. They're all live jams essentially.... there's not much compositional structure built in from the start. 'Zaharra Trek' is maybe not my best stuff, but some good moments when i listen back through it. The first track was recorded around 2006, and used the Nord Lead 2 keyboard, my first synth, and some samples for drums. The bulk of these tracks are from 2010 -2013, and I used the Elektron Machinedrum heavily during that time which drove a minimal all hardware setup. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eczem Posted October 7, 2019 Author Share Posted October 7, 2019 (edited) A collaboration with my cousin a few months ago. Realtime/liveset performance. Some of it is more straightforward than what I would normally do. Not sure if I'm feeling the project name, but hopefully we can keep building on this down the line.

CEP2plet Posted October 8, 2019 Share Posted October 8, 2019 An edgier, noisier Autechre sound overall, from my listening experience. Sometimes sounding like a noisier "Draft 7.30" track or a noisier "Gantz Graf" track. Definitely not smooth-sounding. Also, eczem is not moving from theme-to-theme in a single track as Autechre oftentimes does, and stays on a single theme and explores the different noise combinations within that theme. Nice job overall. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is it a ‘normal’ sequencing or algorithmic scheduling? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eczem Posted October 13, 2019 Author Share Posted October 13, 2019 I picked up different approaches over time. There are a lot of resources out there, and the nice thing about Max is it's super easy to just load up an example file. I think I learned how to make a 1st order markov chain just by using Max's internal search function. I'm still learning things as well; it's been a slow process for me. The earliest thing I recall doing is using random~ and moses~ in Pure Data to sequence midi notes with weighted probability. This was a few years before I ever got a Max license. In a way, I haven't really strayed too far from that approach. I've used 'normal' step sequencers in max, along with probabilistic/algorithmic approaches for both rhythm and melody. Fwiw about 1/2 of my tracks on GeODE were hand-sequenced in Reaper. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
