New release: Orientation

#1

Hi Everyone,

http://davidmoorman.bandcamp.com/album/orientation

Short story: Starting in late 2016, and throughout 2017, I made a habit of making and recording daily patches, mostly as an exercise in learning modules and patching techniques. Somewhere along the way, I set an arbitrary goal of releasing something in 2017, and this is the something. The recordings were all single takes, straight to stereo.

I just wanted to come here and share some download codes just to say thanks to the MI community. Mutable Instruments modules have changed the way I think about sound and synthesis and have reshaped how I approach music. So thank you!

Some download codes:
lday-jbmq
kj3a-xagg
kgxg-jbru
ktcy-ycxq
nzjn-7xat

Some details on my system: 360 hp; primarily Mutable Instruments (Tides x2, Rings, Clouds, Peaks, Streams, Frames, Warps, Ears, Links, Kinks, Blinds, Veils), Make Noise and Mannequins modules.

So come up to the lab / and see what's on the slab / I see you shiver with antici

Guessed the name of two upcoming modules

You must be occupying my subconscious now!

#4

I’ll bet on :

  • Cascades
  • Floats

and as a backup :

  • kj3a-xagg
  • nzjn-7xat

I’m sure Olivier is being flippant here, but that notwithstanding:

Cascades = chained envelopes
Rattles = multi-percussion module
Floats = a digital version of Maths
Waits = trigger or audio delay lines
Shivers = a glitchy thing
Tenses = a play on tensors, a multi-dimensional vector sequencer?
Rests = a complex clocking module that adds rhythm
Looms = chord progression/counterpoint sequencer
Lifts = voltage offset utility module

Guessed the name and function of an upcoming module

#7

I might have speculated, but used that time to order the cassette instead! Nice achievement!

Addendum- Shivers could be the new granular-type device…

#8

My guess would be that Rests is a module that outputs silence. Something along the lines of John Cage’s 4’33" or preferably The Best of Marcel Marceao.

Derail a thread with the first answer
