What kind of music is this? It might be Synth Rock or Synth Pop or Industrial or whatever. It is from our minds and hearts, so it is simply who we are in some way. Music is a funny thing. I have always defined it as "The mathmatical expression of emotion" because it seems logical.
Learning to be expressive on an electrik bass took many years. There are many nuances in touch and dynamics to produce different sounds and it was several years before I found "my sound" or my approach to making music.
I have, for the last year, attempted to transfer this approach to digital production. It is interesting how a different sound can alter one's way of doing things. Different sounds inspire different ideas. Suddenly, what you thought about your approach holds little weight in this new world.
We use the following equipment:
-
Ableton Live + Operator
Novation X-Station 25
PowerBook G4
Audio Technica AT3035 Microphone
(Hortense does not like this mic, but I think it is because I do not know how to use it well)
All of this offers a staggering und overwhelming number of new sounds, approaches and possibilities. It is confusing, really.
We find ourselves back to the first step after all this time. Maybe this time it will be more pure and efficient, maybe this will not work at all.
Let's find out!
