Messing with an audio field recording in VCV Rack.

VCV Rack patch reacting to an audio field recording. Cheers to Omri Cohen for the excellent patch walkthrough!

Various LABS instruments and a couple of Hainbach plugins in Reaper.

Same as the previous track, with the addition of a drum machine run through some effects pedals.

Trial run after rearranging some electronic doodads on my side desk, most notably the pictured Drone Stack and HypnoDrone from Kaiser Electrical Instruments in lovely Duluth, MN. Recorded at the end of a rare week-long ice event in north Alabama.

Tape loop, noise loop, oscillating noise pedal, and some Korg Little Bits synth modules running a short sequence. Twiddled knobs on the oscillator and synth modules while the tape and noise loops were running, then chopped up the static and the…

Played around with some new virtual synths and MIDI loops I bought from a company whose stuff I like.

All MIDI, all the time!

Messing around with electronic doodads - tape loop, drum machine, looper pedal, other effects pedals, and then DAW plugins on the drums. Edited about 5 minutes of noise down to about 2:45.

Another last-minute MIDI confection using instruments from Spitfire Audio's LABS collection and drums from Superior Drummer 3. The overall chord sequences were recommended by YouTuber Venus Theory in a couple of recent YT Shorts.

Finally got around to connecting several electronic items on my side desk - Kawai R-50e drum machine from around 1995, Fostex X-18 4-track tape recorder from a couple of years earlier than that (I think), a Korg volca keys from 2021, and a handful…

Last-minute effort at the end of a busy, busy month. Recorded the drums at the studio on 6/17, then added MIDI piano parts (taken from the EZ Keys library, not my own fingers!) and live bass just before the REM Challenge deadline for June. Whew!

Another last-minute electronic goof, thrown together using a couple of Hainbach plugins and a couple of LABS instruments.

Last minute DAW goof using Superior Drummer and LABS.

Alternate version using LABS instruments.

Last-minute electronic doodad I threw together with three instruments from the free Tyrell N6 synth plugin. I mostly just wanted to try to maintain momentum from February's RPM Challenge and walk through the REM completion process.

Created using MuseScore 4 and an instrument from the LABS collection. Bits and pieces reminded me of the old Tron video game, so the name of this one was almost "Arcade".

Created in VCV Rack 2.

Created in Reaper using the Fission A instrument set from Triple Spiral Audio.

Created in Reaper using the Foghorn instrument from LABS.
