   HackweRk - Another post-it on the wall

   So, this is the result of our group hackweRk during the Zalando hackweek December 2015. All sounds and vocals were recorded using a Tascam DR-05. All instruments are recorded from around the office... We all had a quite fun week. The song is originally Blue Monday by New Order, but in this…

   Absent friends

   Me and my friend Irina spent the Sunday evening with coming up with some vocals and then recording them. I guess this works for now. Ok for a Sunday evening. :-)

   Saturday 2015-11-28 - Soundscape

   Spent some time playing with Virtual ANS (http://warmplace.ru/soft/ans/) today, it's a software version of this cool synthesizer: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ANS_synthesizer Then we have sounds from the Berlin subway and polysynth in Bitwig Studio. Found a video of the real version:...

   Thursday 2015-11-26

   I started something earlier, but another person at c-base said it sounded a little bit too cute. As if it was a tune for a happy little village. Then he asked me to burn the village down. Well, this is the result. I still think the village will survive.

   Wednesday 2015-11-25 - randomness

   This is a bunch of clips that are playing randomly within their own tracks and fed through an effect chain called "deep freeze". Pretty nifty. Oh, and in the end it's less random since I'm turning tracks off one by one.

   Tuesday 2015-11-24 - Frontline Assembly day

   Today I started looking through Sample Pack 1 by Monkey Banana. It was a sample pack I was given when I attended a Bitwig event. It had a bunch of good samples for making industrial music, so I went for it. But you can definitely create a better bassline for it and maybe add some distorted lyrics.

   Monday 2015-11-23

   Today I had a really hard time getting started. First I wanted to do something similar to Kraftwerk, but then I dropped that and thought I would do something similar to And One. And then it got derailed into this. What do you call this genre?

   Sunday 2015-11-22 - Continued project, pre-vocals stage

   This is a track that I've been working on together with my now ex-colleague Irina. This evening we've rearranged some things and decided on a melody. Next part will be coming up with lyrics and recording them.

    Saturday 2015-11-21 - Arpeggiators

    So, this track isn't entirely made today. I've mostly tweaked some effects and such. I was very tired after staying until very late at c-base with yesterday's track (and socializing). Note: Note receiver, LFO mod and Tool are very useful in Bitwig...

    Friday 2015-11-20

    So, I wanted to do something sounding like Frontline Assembly today, but I spent far too much time editing samples. So, this is something in the middle. A "might have been" FLA bass and lot's of samples from Ash vs Evil Dead. (That's a brilliant series that is true to the original, watch it!)

    Thursday 2015-11-19 - Jarre-ish

    So, I wanted to turn the melody I came up with yesterday into something resembling Jean Michel Jarre's stuff. The only presets used are the bass and drum kit, the rest of the sounds I tweaked from Polysynth.

    Tuesday 2015-11-17 - coffee EBM?

    Ok, this did not turn out as I originally thought it would. My initial idea today was to make something that sounded like Infected Mushroom. Instead it turned into EBM about coffee and not adding strange things to coffee. Keep your coffee coffee flavoured...
