Found the coolest website that takes random found cassette tapes people submit and digitizes them. I’m listening to an NYC hip hop station from 1994: intertapes.net

Tacky. And Bezos took a $5k for childcare on his personal tax return in 2023. Ultrarich = ultra cheapos.

Dear sound folks, join me on the Ides of March for a workshop exploring micro-sampling, resampling, and similar techniques in Ableton + M4L. It’s all about generating new material with your own sounds—transform voice memos, spam voicemails, and even unwanted noise floors into rhythmic delights.

Nice! Checking out Paketti, looks interesting. Yeah I think we’re double nearly the same thing—plus doing per-hit randomization of a lot of sample parameters simultaneously (inspired by folks like @richard-devine.bsky.social) - then stacking multiple instances of the sampler with different sounds.

And the same device/LFO modulation is applied to Sampler’s filter, drive, spread, envelopes (etc) to give each hit some variation. Because it’s so random, it can be good to give each Sampler a “role” like all kick drums, vocal hits, textures, etc. Then EQ/process them accordingly to work together.

For sure—it’s done w/ stock Ableton + M4L stuff. 3 monophonic Sampler tracks (basically identical), each one has ~100 short samples, distributed evenly across the zone. I use a combination of built-in Sampler device modulation and M4L LFOs to select a new sample for each new note event.

Oh yeaaa glad u dig — It’s so much fun to set these types of sample-based generators up…some turn into tracks at a point

Generating material in #Ableton using 3x Samplers loaded with randomized one shots from modular sessions, voice memos, Librivox poems, and plenty of saturation. I let thisk run for a few minutes into a Resample track, then hunt for loops.

Yeah so many VCAs! Didn’t realize it had bright lights. Time Wizard has insanely bright strobe light LEDs but I still love it. Someone mentioned matte nail polish once as a quasi fix, or am I imagining that?

Ooo the horizontal Gliss looks like a good move! Also snazzy blanks. Also how do you like the Zlob VCA? Always looked so cool and so much i/o.

Love a good crunch! fiddling with gain staging, driving the input and saturating the output with a couple VCAs

Getting into some asymmetric sequencing, using 6 lanes of patterns from the T-1 to sequence the 6 channels of the Nord Drum, each at different step lengths.

Woke up feeling heartbroken for the state of everything. Gave myself a good chunk of time to just sit in the feeling and try to resist thinking about everything that could or should be done. It was hard, but afterwards I could tell it helped to move some energy. Writing 🎶 helped too; #ambientmusic
