Battle 33 - Outer Space and Out of Time

It’s so nice. It’s almost vocal.

Thank you for explanations @yoof & @LyingDalai :slight_smile:

Don’t think I’m gonna have enough time left to make a battle track this time ^^

Took a train to space...
Wasn't too late, but had a crash.
While floating in the empty between life and dea†h.
7 vibrations collapsed in the corner of my eardrum.
And...

@LyingDalai - quality submission man!


I’m very glad you liked it !
Very weird Soundcloud mix though, from what heard this morning.
It seemed the sound had not finished crashing…
Anyway, I’ll be far from internet for a few days, I had to put a final point to it :slight_smile:

@LyingDalai wow!!! Amazing stuff, man

Yes, thirded @LyingDalai - awesome entry!

Very very solid work @yoof !

Friday night and saturday free for me so I’m hopefully gonna get a submission done :slight_smile:

@spacetravelmadeeasy it would be a shame to not submit anything with such a name :wink:

[Edit] I don’t think my entry is valid, so I removed it but I’ve really enjoyed listening to all the tracks, especially Space Cadet by @Yoof - amazing as always.

Hi all, thanks for the helpful comments in my challenge thread!

I'm learning so much everyday and the rules for this battle made me break out of the 4/4 and in to some uncharted cranking and freestyle space sounds.

I’ve not had a chance to do more work on what I’ve created so far today (sat 2nd) but will hopefully get a chance later tomorrow (sun 3rd).


When is the deadline 11.59pm 3rd?
And is that US or Europe time? :stuck_out_tongue:

I’m on UK time.

Hey there. Here is my entry for this battle.

I made four song for this battle, I kept the last one. The other are good as well, but this one seems to have a better construction.
It seems that my stereo is a bit weird, strangely, all takes I made in the 4th track (which was hard panned to the right) sounded less loud than my 3rd track (hard panned to left) and there weren’t any way to change this without make the song sound with less space and flatter.
Hope you’ll enjoy this track anyway :slight_smile:

Stunning, @Tomavatars!

Thanks @yoof :slight_smile:

Hello!

Great Battle. The rules are amazing (love space exploration <3) and the entries are rock solid. Two days ago I feel like those poor scientists after a rocket explosion: lost my first entry when I was exporting the album to the computer :/

The original one had a cinematic feeling, like the soundtrack of those ~heroic space ~ movies, with deep keys, agressive drums and a lot of vocal cuts. Started everything again, doing this time a more beat-oriented. In this one I got some intense noise sampling, chopped phrases (some low enough to act more as background noise than a vocal element), LFOs oscillating the synths and tons of spring reverb (with resampling/overdub). For the drums I used D-Synth and the Pattern Sequencer, breaking it in real time with the red knob. Don´t know exactly about the time, but I think it´s weird enough.

This is my submission. It’s been ages since I’ve used the OP-1 for making a complete song as I’ve been doing a lot of stuff on computer recently so fell behind a bit putting this together as kept making schoolboy errors when recording and bouncing down.

some really great stuff on this one. i already have a couple favorites and haven’t listened to everyone’s yet. gonna be a tough call, i can tell already.


i was bummed to not have had the time to focus due to my OP-1 being inoperable for the entirety of the challenge (no audio out)…until my part from ifixit arrived on Friday, i installed in Saturday…and i managed to squeeze out a couple hours to throw down this number this afternoon on a jam packed weekend.

had to go 5/4.

(and the connector board was a very easy install, but the power switch is so tight now. nearly pulled off a fingernail trying to turn it on/off a few times. hopefully it loosens up a bit more over time. better that than trying to mix using the built-in).

Excellent track @kln!

Love the groove and the stereo work and the whole thing
