This fell more on the experimental side of things (but that’s my general nature - much more rooted in electroacoustic than straight electronic but I was trying to make something more standard, really!)
Track 1 - Recorded a PO-12 pattern into OP-1 Drum part, played it a little loose and chopped up.
Track 2 - Recorded a PO-16 pattern into a Sampler part, played it here
Track 3 - Recorded a collection of PO-16 patterns into the Tape at 200% speed
Track 4 - pure OP-1 part as a Dr Wave synth sound recorded forwards and backwards
Then recorded in various directions to Album. Only post processing is a bit of dynamics.
Again - more of a melty experimental ambient piece that at one point was supposed to be kindof vaporwave. But it ended up reminding me of some tape loop/collage stuff I did back in 1994…
ok launched my PO-12 during my stay in the France Alps. created some drum patterns on it and had quite some fun. Good entries all here is my share, enjoy.
OK, so ended up grabbing a few hours and put together this piece of randomness sequencing with the PO-12, OP-1, instruments from Korg Gadget and some field recordings from Seoul in South Korea.
It’s a bit strange and experimental but very chilled and dreamy.
So, here´s my last minute beat :) A very direct one.
As my PO´s from Collete are in my mother´s beg waiting her come back to Brazil from Italy, I did some Youtube digging. Indeed, it was harder that I expected, as most of the videos shows reviews with a lot of talkin' or complete beats.
I finally choose to sample the MASSIVE PO-12 kick and build the beat around a drum loop with small variations (I sampled the kick with the OP1-, sequenced the drums at the Octatrack - where I have most of my one-hit drums sounds, and sampled back at the OP-1, overdubing a track with noise to give a more gritty nature to the drums). There´s a lot of stereo!
The synths are all native from the OP-1 and vanilla; I used some resamplings and overdubs (with Delay, Spring and a little little bit of CWO) and some Spring at the Master to enrich the sound. The sampled voice talking in spanish is Alejandro Jodorowsky´s interviewed. Overall, I wanted to give a really dirty and lo-fi atmosphere to that one, like the beat was sampled from a cheap source and degraded.
Great battle, amazing entries. I´m counting the days to have the Pocket Operators here :)
