#looptober day 25

Thinking about: melody. the opening to Appalachian spring. transformation.

Breathy alto in the morning
Confident tenor in the afternoon
Grounded bass in the evening
Misunderstood were-bot by midnight

Tonight's freshly baked baguettes! Should be still warm by dinner :)

#looptober day 23

Thinking about: jon hopkins soundtracks, 5-voice chord progressions.

#looptober day 22

thinking about: articulation. heptapod B by johann johannsson. diphones.

but mostly, this is me messing around with the new envelope capabilities I added to the gesture synthesizer controlling the vocal synthesizer.

#looptober day 18

thinking about: liquid dnb, morphing FM oscillators.

these drum sounds are actually samples from @unfa beatboxing!

The operatic vocals feel out of place, but I promised myself I'd use vocal synthesis for every looptober. Also, the mix might be thin because I didn't get a chance to monitor on bigger speakers. But, I ran out of time, and that's that. I think my eyes were bigger than my stomach for this one.

#looptober day 17

thinking about: music for airports. isorhythms.

Every note performed is played as a loop, each with a different duration. So, in that sense, I'm still keeping up with the loop spirit.

#voxtober #vocalsynthesis

Built a morphing FM oscillator today, using my gesture synthesizer able to morph between wavetables.

My initial results are bit noisy and vroom-vroomy, but I aim to tame.

#looptober day 16

Thinking about: arpy vocals. Just doing a vamp. Didn't really spend much time on this or have much of a plan tbh.

#voxtober #vocalsynthesis

#looptober day 10

Thinking about: revisiting sounds from day 6 , and non-linear tempos from day 4. 7/8 grooves.

#looptober day 9
