Morning Pages - September 18, 2021 by Wunderfish published on 2021-09-18T20:55:08Z Originally streamed live on Twitch on September 18, 2021. If you enjoy the track, check out the replay (on Twitch or YouTube) to see how it was created. Morning Pages Parameters: BPM: 132 Key/Scale: Ab Whole/Half Diminished Hardware: Oberheim Matrix 1000 Ableton Live Instrument or Pack: Bertha 2 (Max for Cats) VST: Kick 2 Effect: Spectral Blur (M4L) Oblique Strategy: “Use an unacceptable colour” Crashes and user errors aside, this was an interesting Morning Pages. First, that Whole/Half Diminished scale is weeeeiiirrrd! Not super melodic to my ears, but your mileage may vary. Started with the Kick 2 VST which turned into a lesson on how to re-register your product after cleaning out your studio computer. Programmed in a nice aggressive kick drum. We used the Moog Matriarch for some creepy arpeggios that drove the atmosphere (later, alongside Rings/Beads) before adding a more melodic, but basic bassline to keep us in that Ab root. Next we came up with a house organ sound with the Oberheim Matrix and added quite a bit of saturation thanks to the Spectral Blur Max for Live device. Drove it home with Bertha 2 and some tasty acid lines on the TD-3. This track is now on Soundcloud, along with all my other Morning Pages jams (please mind the lack of mixing and overall polish though): https://soundcloud.com/wunderfish Thanks for watching.
