Ambient/Post-Rock/Textural bass playing thread

Looks like you already decided...I fall on the other side of the fence on this opinion. To me, it’s less about parsing out listening environments and more about intentions.

if your intention is to get your music out there, then the more platforms the better...they are all entryways to lure in a potential fan to dig deeper.

I think of it like Facebook v Instagram v other platforms. Some people post the same thing on all, others use one for one thing and another for another thing, but if you aren’t a Facebook person you won’t get to see the content posted there...if you are a consumer of all platforms it can be annoying to see the same posts on multiple platforms so I would expect the user to get choosy and only follow one account.

for me, I do this for fun but I’d like to connect more w people who like what I do...and for this, I think the best model is to provide short tastes. I believe in giving away your best stuff since once you get a fan you’ve made that connection...I don’t do this, but find many people who navigate social media properly suck me in that way. I think people shoot themselves in the foot by introducing themselves w a 20 min clip since it is hard to really catch someone w something so lengthy in our world w such short attention spans...but again, intentions...if you are just looking to get it out there then get it out there. If you are looking to build a fan base, you’ll need to think about the full user experience for a curious potential fan...how are you catching their attention, then how are you holding it and directing them to go deeper?

Thanks for your input.

Sonically, I like this a lot! Cool sounds. very much tracker style slicing/sequencing

because i’m ignorant: how can you tell it’s a tracker?

I always thought he was modular only.
??
I could be mistaken though......

Edit......I was wrong about his stuff in my previous post had him mixed up with Dalek.
They do hip hop stuff with outhere beats.

When im wrong, im wrong.....!!!

My guess is that it isn't unlikely to be a tracker-based on the styles I hear when I look up Renoise tutorials. There's a frantic patterning that seems to be the marking of guys who like the tracker rapid sequencing workflow. Since Duke is considering the Polyend Tracker, I'm guessing he has been hearing that quality a lot lately.

I'm sure there are other ways to skin a cat, but it isn't a crazy guess.

I don’t know for sure, but those super fast change ups of very different sample types has that vibe.

that’s a pretty sounding jam. Completely different from the other one you posted, but I like em both. Nice little eurorack rig too!

By far my worst classical purchase ever.

Not sure which of Mozart's "quintets" that disc has, but if it's the wind quintets then I would happily take that off your hands.

Wut da fuq is this "Datachi" schidt y'all are going on about anyhow?

I should have worded that better.
I should have said that in the 9 disc set are some of Mozart's "least interesting " works. But it is a very good box set in spite of this “setback”.

I really dig the flute quintets and piano trios.

I’ll try to tonight. I didn’t have a recording rig available.

How's the health buddy??

Fever and chills seem to be gone.
Back pain is still annoying but I’m finally able to work, so it’s much better.

Hey all. I need to let go of my Erica Synths Zen Delay. I received it right as the world shut down in March. I'm still unemployed and my industry, film production, has as of yet no light at the end of the tunnel for restarting. I figured I'd offer it up here before listing as w/o this thread I never would have known about it. It really is an amazing and fun addition to any rig and really kind of an instrument in itself. It's only been used a couple of times in my living room with my Moog Grandmother. It's still in new condition. I got mine from Sweetwater. Looking for $525 shipped. Pm me if interested. Thanks.

i scanned an interview with him. he says he uses that a lot for industrial sounds design and that he rarely uses everything for one of his tunes.
