Genre Hopping - Ambient Electronic

in Electronic Music2 years ago (edited)

▶️ Watch on 3Speak


I range between different genres within my live modular sets (if you can even categorise what I do in any genres?).
This section is an ambient/chilled section where I'm building a slowly evolving soundscape.

As it's a bit slower you may be able to pick out in this video how some of the changes I'm making actually affect the music.

For example:

  • several times editing the pitches allowed in the melody using the Metropolis module - the large silve module with red leds on the sliders in a fairly central position.
  • editing the kick pattern on the sequencer (very bottom left) around 1:38
  • bringing in the bass synth at 1:58 on the main mixer (central, slightly right)
  • dialing in a little snare fill at 3:19

I keep meaning to set up a 3rd camera for some close ups for either an explanier video or maybe as part of a live set.

Watch me live soon with a Rising Star Special Edition:

I'll be live again Monday 24th January from 9pm UK time on Brixton Radio.
You can also watch on my Twitch or on VIMM - I'm tdctunes on both.
And what's more this coming Monday will be a speciak edition @risingstargame set!
I'll be loading the modular with samples from Rising Star and mixing and mangling them into the music.
And what's more @stickupboys will be there doing some giveaways in the chat too! If you are a Rising Star player and at all interested in electronic experimental music or even if you just want to hang out with some fun RS./Hive/Music lovers come and join!

I’ll bookmark this for later listening/watching. Definitely interesting to read how each element of the performance is introduced and then goes that shaped the sounds further.

Hey - thank you! This video just happened to be one where I think you can see the changes a bit more easily than in others when I'm playing live. I'll try and do some more explainer videos soon where I talk through what's going on in more detail...

Thanks for the comment and hope you have a great day!

That was fantastic to hear man, and to see you making the changes while hearing them at the same time, keep it up and stay !ALIVE

Hey @flaxz.alive - thanks so much for dropping by and your kind comments! Yeah people seem to be interested in what's going on with the modular.

I guess quite a few have never seen anything like it. It's in some ways overwhelmingly complicated but many things going on are actually made up from simple concepts and modules - I'll do some more explanations soon.

Happy Sunday to you and thanks again!

Thanks @hivebuzz - gotta keep on posting - can't stop!

You are welcome @tdctunes, that's with pleasure! We wish you a happy buzzy week 😊👍🐝

Nice Always love to see how things unravel with your music. Plus congrats with the gig with rising star gonna be cool 😎

Hey thanks - I'm working on the patch for tonight right now. At the moment it's a very spooky version of @risingstargame but who knows where it will be by tonight!

Also going to throw in a @stickupboys sample for fun - I mean they are a legendary card in the game after all!

Ohhh exciting!

This is such a cool idea, man! Love electronic music (if you can call it that), but streaming it is brilliant! I'm going to have to check you out on Twitch when schedules align.

The mixing board is pretty cool. I appreciate your explanations as to what you are doing with each dial. Great stuff!

Cheers!

Hey thanks for dropping by!

What is and isn't music is a whole potentially controversial topic! I remember I raised this question recently when I had a whole grove running but there was only a single note used - there's a video clip where I talk about making a "big thingie button" and then go on to wonder if it's music with a single note here:

It's always 9pm UK time every Monday on Twitch for my regular show - though there is the possibility of unannounced occasional extra streams on other days!

Hope to see you tonight!
