pattern decay

it’s a prophet 6 and a trigon 6. hydrasynth looks pretty cool though, i might get one eventually

you’d never guess i started out composing writing music for rpgmaker games 😆

#synthesizer #synthsky #musiciansky #musicsky

occasionally i remember that blues scales are a thing

#synthesizer #synthsky #musiciansky #musicsky

i feel like i’ve written this before lol

#synthesizer #synthsky #musiciansky #musicsky

sometimes the sections i write quickly just sound better to me

#synthesizer #synthsky #musiciansky #musicsky

I use Logic

here’s a buildup with no resolution

#synthesizer #synthsky #musiciansky #musicsky

reprising the intro with a bit more of an edge

#synthesizer #synthsky #musiciansky #musicsky

i feel like i’m always a little surprised by what comes out when i write something new

#synthesizer #synthsky #musiciansky #musicsky

reapproaching this track from a different direction. i think this is why i’ve been avoiding working with a narrative - stuff either doesn’t fit and sounds good, or fits but doesn’t sound good lol

#synthesizer #synthsky #musiciansky #musicsky

visiting with family, so i don’t have access to my synths, but i found this arpy idea i had been working on a while back using teletone anamorph and a few previously recorded synth parts

#synthesizer #synthsky #musiciansky #musicsky

getting started on track 2 - this’ll be part of the intro (and returning later in a more energetic version as the chorus)

#synthesizer #synthsky #musiciansky #musicsky

thank you! i love my synths ♥️

thank you! very happy with how it came out

that’s awesome! glad it’s helping 😊

thanks so much!

disasterpeace is a huuuge influence for me haha

i am on bandcamp and tidal - linktr.ee/pattern-decay
^this should have all the relevant links

haven’t heard about Subvert.FM but i’ll check it out!

adding a little bit of variation to the repeat of this section

#synthesizer #synthsky #musiciansky #musicsky

thanks so much man!

end section of the first piece. structure is done, just need to fill in a few transitions and things

#synthesizer #synthsky #musiciansky #musicsky

nice, yeah i could see that!

decided to rewrite this section - the last one wasn’t quite the right vibe, and was a bit too busy and wander-y

also the algorithm was not a fan of my “creative” lighting hahaha

#synthesizer #synthsky #musiciansky #musicsky

focusing on one track at a time now so i can have the full songs streamable online sooner.
also, experimenting with some new lighting to add a little visual interest as my idea to use a projector didn’t quite pan out.

#synthesizer #synthsky #musiciansky #musicsky

thank you!

i usually record midi to logic from whichever synth that part is for, and play it back when recording the audio, which gives me a lot of flexibility.

as to the keys on the prophet, my cat knocked it off its stand a while back lol

thanks man!

with retrograde done, i’m starting work on the next project - a full length concept album

#synthesizer #synthsky #musiciansky #musicsky

starting to work on some visuals to go along with the music. still needs a lot of work, but you’ve got to start somewhere!

Amazing article.

"More recently, researchers have found that the viral outrage disseminated on social media ... actually reduces the effectiveness of collective action. The result is a media environment that keeps us in a state of ..fear and anger... instead of organizing against [our oppressors]."

thanks so much!

“as thicc as possible” should be my motto or tagline 😆

Bandcamp is apparently donating 100% of its share of profits today to California wildfire relief efforts, so this is an IDEAL time to pick up some psychedelic synth prog from yours truly!
