Patchwork - The River Flows Uphill
Release
-->
Its all guitar samples I took off my nylon string guitar, fed into reaktor, and sequenced using a reaktor patch I developed. Its played live. There are exactly 3 edits done to this track. Fade in, fade out, and one cut to take out an exceptionally misguided section in the middle.
This is the first thing I've made since before the summer. I tried to incorporate the suggestions I've been getting on my past releases.
I processed the hell out of it. EQ, compression, noise reduction, stereo expanding, and more. I did it on a pair of walkman headphones, so it may sound wacky.
The samples are new for this song. I bought a Zoom H4 for the task. The recording environment was even worse than before, so the noise reduction was necessary. Inevitably, I lost a lot of detail from the samples.
I'll switch out the artwork when I get a chance.
Hope you enjoy! | |

Prety sweet organization of the guitar samples.
Love the chopy soud of it.
Nice structure, great movement.
I would have liked to hear to drums of some sort, but only a sparce bit.
But thats just me. The track ist nice without drums

I've been enjoying all of your releases too. I think this is your best work yet. The chopped melodies are wonderfully cohesive. Some noises sound percussive to me. Perhaps that's an artifact of the way you edited them. The mix sounds amazing considering you made it with shit headphones. When you get better cans/monitors, I'm sure you'll be able to give this a nice bit of polish.

thanks for the encouragement!
i have this idea of how computer music making should be a lot more immediate and improvisational than standard production techniques.
this song was made over 4 days. i made 4 different versions and selected one of them to be mixed. i would encourage anyone making computer music to try working like this. its all trial and error. i don't know how things are going to work out, but i can tell when i've made something good.
