I admit, I'm having a lot of fun lately playing around with software models of analog synthesizers on my computer. There are oodles of inspiring and useful presets available, but I get the most satisfaction from creating patches from scratch, or at least using a preset as a starting point (or example in the learning process) and doing some radical tweaking and shaping of the sound to get something new and, hopefully, original.
My goal with my electronic music experiments, at least this month, is to try to make something that keeps developing throughout the piece via texture or melody while avoiding the stock, genre-defining danceable beat patterns that serve as the foundation for so much synth-based music. I'm not knocking it at all--I'm just trying for a different sound.
That being said, this ditty might accompany a top-down, Saturday night interstellar cruise.
Interstellar cruise indeed! Nice way to "ring" in the new with this eclectic, intergalactic number. I need to get my computer set up with a keyboard and some sf2's here. I just installed 64 Studio (a Linux distribution with audio production in mind) on my office computer. Now it's a matter of breaking out the cables.
