I have been pretty busy lateley and so all my hellagems posts have been rushed. Hopefully I will get some more free time soon to really bizuckle down on a track and feel happy with it. Anyway, I used some of my standby vsts for this. Hope you enjoy.

For this song I busted out my old groove box, and after playing with it for a while I was able to get some really cool sounds out of it. The drums are the only digital instrument in the song, everything else is either the groove box or the micro korg + some effects. For many parts of this song I chopped up the tracks by hand. For the crazy synth part I used a combination of chopping and the glitch plug in. I also doubled the track and used different settings for the glitch on each track to give it a wierd glitching in and out effect.

This is a song that I haven’t finished yet. Right now it is a bit repetative to me, when I started this my goal was to make a song with several different unique and interesting parts. Right now it has a few different sections but it mainly repeats 1 theme. I’m not quite sure about the instrumentation, I might change some of the sounds in a later version. I ran into the obstacle erf described in his last post: I found myself constantly tweaking minor details before the song was even finished. I have learned to compose an entire song and then worry about instrumentation and variation. Let me know if you have any ideas to make this better.

I made this in ableton and used the glitch plugin on a couple of the tracks to break it up a bit. This song has like a gazillian tracks for drums, for whatever reason I just felt that stacking them up sounded good. with not much time left, I decided to try to have some actual music to it. I’ve been having a hard time putting structure into my songs, so I decided that I should at least have a set of 4 chords and a melody in there somewhere. So that actually doesn’t kick in until like half way through the song, but alas here it is! enjoy
