Debussaywhat
Mr Sandbags
The product of yesterdays experiments with Metasynth.
I took a few seconds of a Debussy piano piece and imported them into Metasynths spectrum synth where I turned them into a groove which I then filtered in the Filter room.
I imported this into Live and layered on CamelSpace and Freezbee in parallel effect chains. Along with PanStation and ValhallaRoom. I hand rolled automation for some of the controls and used MIDIShaper for the rest.
Alongside I added a hats only track using StylusRMX glitched up with Replicant and Automaton (no DubStation this time!) and allowed to drift in and out using VolumeShaper.
Listening back I quite like what I have except that it feels like the beginning of a track that, then, peters out where it should be going somewhere. But I guess this is in the nature of experiments to not quite be the result you were looking for :)
Halfway through it did feel like it was the intro to something (cue dry ice, big light show, power chord, let's rock... mebbe!)(I think it's the hi-hat that does this to me, it reminds me of a drummer itching to get going) But, for me, it does actually bring itself to a nice conclusion. Didn't really feel like "petering out" at this end.
Classy piece of experimentation. Musically superb but I wish I understood more of how it was achieved.
I quite like it too! You're right in that it sounds like the beginning of something else, but very enjoyable!
