Studio Sounds – A Dawless Synth Jam: “Is this the future…”

This one started with a guitar riff that I processed heavily in Ableton.

I had the effects automating in and out of dry/wet so the sound was constantly evolving.

Then I added every synth I own…bingo bongo: noise music.

The Power of Presence with Sebastian Mulleart

Check out Scuba’s “Not A Diving Podcast” for interviews with musicians, their unique perspectives on making music, and navigating the world as a creative.

This conversation with Sebastian Mulleart resonated with me in many ways.

His approach to music focuses on the present moment to promote improvisation and turning off the default decision making mind. He talks about his mentorship program In Bloom and how each student takes something different away from every lesson.

Mulleart is a renaissance man and leverages his wide skill set to effectively transmit knowledge to his students.

It is more than obvious Mulleart is living his passion; thanks for the inspiration.

James Blake is a Eurorack nerd

James Blake and Mylar Melodies talk about the fun of learning new gear, getting inspired from unlikely sources, and how to sync modular hardware with a live drummer. Is that possible…apparently yes!

There was a lot to take in from this conversation, including staying true to artistic freedom or catering to expectations of fans and critics.

Both of these gentlemen are experts in their respective fields; if this is something you like there are more interviews with electronic artists and instrument manufacturers on the “Why We Bleep” website.

“Misty Voyage” – Flo & Con Analog Synth Session

We decided to keep this jam between the keys of C#m, Ebm, and G#m to give us some sort of musical guardrails.

Next time we will try no percussion, only melodic elements…always evolving.
