I've been awake for half an hour and I already feel the pressure around my eyes. I shall just have to deal with it and begin a semblance of a routine today - and get some creativity DONE.
Blearily I attempt to concentrate on concentrating on Gibbet. I have no success. I shall listen to Christian's newest synthesizer noodlings instead. More later, I hope.
The bass and vox are now integrated into Union, though the latter needs a few retakes. Now to wake the universe with a cold shower.
English Breakfast resides in the pale green cup, waiting to be sipped or gulped or otherwise imbibed. Now to get back to work on Estrellas Oscuras and then Pony Ride. Fuck um.
I have fixed the search engine for the http version of martenblog, as it was previously based on a now defunct MongoDB apparatus. #programming #martenblog
I added percussion to the most 'ambient' part of A Parchment, grubbying up the 'ambience'. From the first, I'm paying quite a bit of attention to placement and movement in stereo space of each part. Fuck um. #JogMyAmnesia #music
A Parchment is somewhat developed now. Should I leave it for my session with Matthew or come up with an ending sequence - an ambience reflecting the initial part? It's for Sweet Entropy to decide. #music #JogMyAmnesia
I'm meticulously entering notes into the SQ-64 for the second UZ part of Billard Tournament. #music #NineSidedDie
The ever changing piece of music related to the ever changing name (currently A Cubic Light Year of Sod) is slowly being pieced together. What I call the 'Magma part' is written, or at least mostly written. It sounds nothing like Magma. #music #NineSidedDie
I eschewed much of the modulation I keyed in to Supercollider yesterday for some simple randomization of the filter cutoff & wave shape given a triangle wave on Mullah. I found a good fog hornish sound emitted by fiddling with the dry/wet control of the hall reverb. So the intro of A Cubic Lightyear of Meat is slowly fleshed out. I'm not anywhere close to satisfied with it, however. #music #NineSidedDie #ACubicLightyearOfMeat
I'm pausing from writing in Supercollider the synth arps for the introduction of A Cubic Lightyear of Meat. Writing in this way is tedious. I need constant breaks. I need a quick CV sequencer for SBUP when I retrieve it.
I have the gear that I shall take to Spain. What is left is only sufficient for practise, so no more recording until Europe! #music
Olšanské Hřbitovy is in the state I'll leave it until settling into music making again in Spain. Much is still work in progress, but I'm satisfied with the skeleton. #music #ResidentBeatPoet #NineSidedDie
I begun the arduous task of writing and recording 'tentative' parts to the second section of Olšanské Hřbitovy. The piece is becoming very involved. #music #ResidentBeatPoet
Hoy es un día de vagancía. Thus, I have practised and I DID re-record the verse sections of I'm the One Flying, but otherwise, I feel as if I've been pressed into lassitude's eternal mud-pit. #music #lethargy
I'm managed to expand Olšanské Hřbitovy to perhaps twice its length, though the latter half is badly underdeveloped. I continue to listen and take notes. #music #ResidentBeatPoet
I've relearned and redone a bit of Olšanské Hřbitovy. I shall concentrate on the as of yet unwritten second half during the next few days (or WEEK, vole). I'm thinking to send a scratchier version to Kris earlier in the composition process to see what ideas he may come up with. #music #ResidentBeatPoet
Deleriously lethargic day. My brain smites me. I cannot smite back! Two improves seeped out somewhere, and one is actually listenable. Fuck um. #music #improvisation #lethargy
Miniature #4 'Precluded Poet' finished, a modal experiment with different pentatonics over minor and lydian chords. Renata bookends it. #music #BronzePomegranate
For Full Spectrum Records, possibly my future nemesis, I've created a non-normalised version of #PaganPark. It sounds surprisingly good. I'll send it off possibly later today. #music
Monobiopsychosis is finished. The mix is muddy, but that is ok for now. Overall, the guitar parts accentuate the lugubrious atmosphere. #music #BronzePomegranate
The matra-bass I've LAID OUT is excellent. I'm not sure of my absolute groove capacity, but fuck um. #music #BronzePomegranate
I'm slowly making my way through 'Monobiopsychosis', the third in the 'miniatures' series. My lethargy has been peaking the last few days. I have little desire to do ANYTHING. It's lamentable. #music #lethargy #BronzePomegranate
I did another mix of Fehut Felu. I also redid the bass line during the 'transition'. Depending on what Chris does with his vocal part, I'm not sure much more can be done with this. It's WACKY. #music #PaganPark
Podél Směrů is now on Bandcamp and Funkwhale for all the universe to absorb. #music #PodélSměrů
Miniature #2 'Ptáci' is done. Oddly muted, it is! It seems like I didn't eq the highs correctly. That's fine. Time to move on. I'll remaster all of them at the end. #music #BronzePomegranate
Today was the first intense practise (guitar) I've had since Covid struck me down Sobota. Amusingly, I worked on CAGED hovno and their relation to actual scales, though interspersed were speed studies and I need to get the muscles of my extremeties back in shape. #music #guitar
A bit more of 'ptáci' emerge from the niggulum this evening. The end is a meandering fiiiis that is feed back upon itself and recursively modulated (Baklengs) until HIDEOUS. Space sounds cascade over its burbling form. #music #BronzePomegranate
I began the second miniature 'Ptáci'. It has overlapping descending guitar lines that will harmonize somewhat and I hope also clash. I haven't planned them too elaborately. #music #BronzePomegranate
The final mastering tweak to Feudal Fetish (and Podél Směrů, overall) was to sidechain compress the main track to the KO separately, as well as automate the EQ on the KO to get rid of the high swishing during the recurring 'drum'. Now just to listen through it all one more time! #music #PodélSměrů
Perhaps I should wait to hear the whole album on my new closed back headphones, contrasting them to the Bayerdynamics (open back). Knowing Sweetwater, however, it may take seven millennia for them to arrive. Bastards. #music #audio #monitoring #PodélSměrů
Yesterday evening, I sent an email to Zenapolae to ask were they interested in publishing Podél Směrů. I included links to John Newman's Severed Head Still Speaks and Wondering if the Bellows Will Blow. I'll write up the credits to the album in a bit (perhaps after this toot) and, as Chris finished the cover, get everything ready for release. #music #PodélSměrů
I did a ditty called Palaeontology which may be the beginning of a semi-daily funkwhale agenda. In contrast to the drones of last month, these will be miniatures. #music #BronzePomegranate
I'm the one Flying is 'finished', meaning I cobbled together all the guitar parts. If there is general approval by Renata, I'll do a definitive version. #music #renata
I redid the chord melody of vlci AGAIN, plus increased the width of the stereo image on several of the tracks. #music #PodélSměrů
I'm reworking the second melody recursive strategy on John Newman's Severed Head Still Speaks. I make an initial master yesterday of the whole album and am moderately happy with it. A few tweaks are in order. #music #PodélSměrů
I integrated Kris's bass into Vlci and redid the arpeggio guitar part. Also, some questionable comping occurs in the midsection. #music #Podél Směrů
