With two tours cancelled and my studio calendar clear for the foreseeable future, I'm about to kick video production into high gear. Can't wait to share the new production space which should be up and running this week for recording and streaming. Speaking of space, give a listen and watch to 15760 ALBION, previously named Shipyard Hustle, from my collection of tracks for the NextColony soundtrack.
NextColony (https://nextcolony.io/) is a space exploration game on the Steem Blockchain that I've been working on soundtracking. Here's me integrating live modular performance elements with chopped classical guitar samples in Ableton.
To get into a space colony headspace, I'm using a few of my favorite go-tos (Cwejman VCO-6 triangle output spatialized via Echophon for the main arpeggio always feels so solid and tracks beautifully across several octaves) ... sometimes we must fight the urge to French Horn In Space. Early in the patch, I'm also employing the frequential crossfade capacity of the Three Sisters to manually slide between three inputs: rich Mangrove bass timbres, chunky white-ish noise from the VCNO and a discordant Dixie II top end FM that lends the piece some of its industrial "Active Spaceship Repair Dock" sound design elements. An indispensable piece of kit in my rig, both as a filter and mixer.
Kindly follow me here and on Steemit: (http://steemit.com/@drumoperator).
I'll be streaming live this week with times to be posted on Steemit.
Like many creatives, I've had all of my gigs cancelled for the next two months and will be shuttering the studio for a minute. Staying positive and writing copiously, but if you are in a position to help, I've set up a BTC address for donations at:
