Day 137 / Ending Somewhere

I had to think fast because by the time I left work last night it was already 11pm.  I decided on my drive home to do a little backburner project.  I have two unfinished tracks from previous Monome Community Remix Projects.  So, I decided to finally finish my MCRP V5 track no matter how it turned out.

 

I haven’t posted about MCRP for awhile.  What it is is a remix project where a group of monome users each uploads a sample based on a theme then everyone makes their own track using only the samples that everyone threw into the pot.  This MCRP’s theme was vocal samples so what you hear in the track is all made from voices.

 

I have two previous posts chronicling the creation of this track.  They are Day 66 / Beginning Somewhere and Day 69 / Getting Somewhere, so I felt it was only fitting to call this one Ending Somewhere.

 

I don’t really know how I feel about the track.  My method was pretty haphazard.  I basically took the sound I made from Day 66 and duplicated it a bunch of times, transposed up and down, changed its decay, arpegiatted it.  Then, I probably laid in too many effects.  I think I put a Sugar Bytes WOW filter and every track.  I automated each track on the fly and played with some gating and ended up with the track below.

 

 

Hope you like it.
