    Well i kinda fucked up and posted a new thread with this but added a ghost emoji to the title which basically caused it to appear as one of those invisible threads.... I'll repost here so someone might actually see it :P Sorry!

    ---

    Wanted to announce a project very near to my heart. Been working on this album off and on for like 20 years basically. Some of it written when we were kids bascially (well 20yo), but a lot of the beats were written in the past 5 years or so, its basically our "hip hop manifesto". Hypergalactic beats + rhymes.

    It drops May 7th but if you wanna pre-save or even pre-order(!) use this link:

    I might as well post this here instead of making a new topic. I'm making short, under a minute animations, just for the fun of it and I'm looking for some new tracks. If anyone's interested let me know.




    • Wow, really like these :-)Ianbolton
    • Thanks! Yea, it's my commute project. I spend two hours on a train everyday so I'm killing time by making stuff like this.haga
    • Lovely...probably a daft question but what are you creating them in?dee-dubs
    • Thank you! Haha, it's AE and Trapcode. Trapcode Form for the first and third and TAO for the one in the middle.haga

    • ... and interesting excuse to learn AE.microkorg
    • Do you do video as job or are you just delving into this and learning yourself as you go? is it difficult?microkorg
    • Gnash, thanks!haga
    • microkorg, yes, I do motion work for a living. I wouldn't exactly say it's difficult, but it takes some time figuring things out.haga
    • Trapcode have some ok presents, so you can always use that as a start and then take it from there.haga

    • Awesome mg33, thanks for charing!haga
    • Great work! I figured this was CInema 4d and X-Particles but Red Giant has served you well. I love the audio too? Did you do the sound effects too?CyBrainX
    • CyBrainX, not sure I want to go down the 3d rabbit hole again. I've stayed away for ten years now...haga
    • And Babe Elliott Baker did the sound. Not sure he would call himself a sound designer though, but I love what he does.haga
    • The sound in Orbital is actual space recordings we found and the he made a "music" track out of it.haga

    Around this past summer a guy named Rich Devine contacted me through a mutual friend about buying some gear. He asked me to meet him in San Francisco while he flies in from Georgia. So I drive up to SF from LA and we met at a studio. We hang out for like 4-5 hours talking about music, gear, live shows. He played me a few tracks he was currently working on and they were pretty amazing. We talk a bit more about his ideas for modifying the cyclone he was buying from me and then we ended the night. He is just truly a nice guy. He even suggested that I crash at the studio for the night because of the long drive back home, but I ended up staying at some shitty motel outside of the city.

    Last night he sent me this link which has an image of the cyclone i sold to him.

  • Nairn12

    Bought my 3 year old a wee keyboard for Christmas, which she finally got to play with last night. Currently at the kitchen table post-breakfast with her playing away on it.

    I appreciate this is waaay beneath the pay grade of you lot invested in this thread, but I am seriously impressed by how good this thing sounds for what is essentially a kid's toy. Shit's come a long way since I last used a self-contained keyboard at school...

    • Almost bought this one but opted for a Casio in the same price range.oey_oey
    • TheCasio SA-46, by any chance? if so, that was the other contender :) I just wanted something polyphonic.Nairn
    • omg what have you done? only three years old and already on the slippery slope of bankruptcy from kit addiction?hans_glib
    • It looks like an app, design has come full circle!nb
    • I mean design has come full rounded corner rectanglenb
    • waiting to own the teenage engineering setup, brodoesnotexist
    • I got the Casio for my son last year, and it broke within a couple of weeks. I think I'll look into this as a replacement.monospaced
    • lol @doesnot. That kid will find out about TE and start the long beg.garbage
    • Great choice! I got myself a Summit last year but am still considering the PSS-A50 (same series) for fun. $80, fewer sounds than yours but an arpeggiator.spl33nidoru
    • NICE :)
      both my kids started learning piano and keys around the age of 5
      exador1
    • They're 18 and 15 now, and still to this day play atleast an hour or 2 a day, just for fun...
      there's nothing quite like listening to your kids playing some
      exador1
    • 70's keyboard/piano rock, or playing some original composition... i absolutely love it :)
      nice to have a house filled with great music :)
      exador1
    • haha, this blew up! I'm sure 3 is far too young, but I wanted her to have something 'useful' to learn to fuck around with and to demistify the processNairn
    • @ex1 - how did you teach your kids at that age? I don't play piano myself, but would like to learn alongside her to help her along, when the time comesNairn
    • exactly Nairnoey_oey
    • Xmas gift was a drum set...she's two and she loves it.oey_oey
    • I have to play guitar and she the drums and then she sings "Just Like Heaven" from The Cure...I mean sort of. She loves that song.oey_oey
    • Me and her Mum, played it together during pregnancy among other songs but it seems that this one stucked.oey_oey
    • Today we performed for my parents via video chat.oey_oey
    • I have the Casio equivalent of that for my boys. They usually just turn on the demo music and crank it at full blast. They also pulled off all the black keys.nocomply

    New one from me and my partner in

    https://soundcloud.com/les-yeux-…

    "BUY LINK: fieldofdreamsmusic.bandcamp.com...
    Label: Field Of Dreams Music (@fieldofdreams)
    www.facebook.com/fieldofdreamsmu…...

    Field of Dreams is Al Mackenzie, a part-time pop star with D:Ream & full-time DJ and musician who also runs his own Retroforward nights, and graphic designer Chris Kentish from Field Theory, who has released on Futureboogie and Secret Life. They have worked together since 2017 on the likes of Pleasure Unit & Tici Taci and received big plaudits for their remix of Les Crocodiles' classic 'La Nuit Des Tropiques', including from the late Andrew Weatherall who went on to remix the pair. Following support on Radio 6 Music and a hiatus during the pandemic, they are now back with a deeper and edgier sound than previous outings. "Perhaps a sign of things to come, perhaps not," say the ever-evolving pair who like to keep fans guessing.

    Opener 'Into The Sun' is a scintillating mix of deep rolling house grooves and authentic machine soul. The far-sighted chords and twinkling pads make for a reverential mood that draws you in for an emotional ride. The title track is a slow-motion workout with elastic bass and subtle acid lines under muttered vocals. It's hazy and lo-fi like all the best Detroit house.

    The magnificent 'Mind Over Matter' is another timeless deep house sound with layer upon layer of synth warmth, cosmic radiance and perfectly dusty analogue grooves that work both body and mind. 'Into The Night' builds towards the peak of the party with more driving drums and pulsing acid that keeps you on edge and 'Mind Field' then cuts loose on more ramshackle and percussive house grooves with plenty of lush signature synth work from Field Of Dreams.

    This emotive and immersive EP is a perfect return for this masterful pair."

    • man!renderedred
    • that sherman filter bank..too sexyfuturefood
    • Yeah, they are ok.. a bit unusable.. just so fucking gnarly all the timeautoflavour
    • Is that a MIDI'ed Juno 6?emphor
    • orgasmichelloeatbreathedrive
    • Nope, juno pureautoflavour
    • Juno arp is clocked to the analog4 and the filter is patched to take cv from anywhereautoflavour
    • That's cool and imma let you finish, but what the world really needs is a KAWS x Totoro collaboration.garbage
    • But seriously you have a tiny museum at this point.garbage
    • efffin' Drool...!keewee
    • KAWS TOTORO.. fucking yes.autoflavour

    • got around to patching in the machinedrum.. its offical, my 3 patch bays are maxed out .. 72 points all full. and no room for more patch bays, rack is full.autoflavour
    • not that there is any room for any more hardware anywayautoflavour
    • Love that space echofuturefood
    • sweeetprophetone
    • og machinedrum + monomachine combo is so choiceprophetone
    • love it - a temple to excess!hans_glib
    • Wouldn't you prefer a slimmed down minimalistic setup, like ableton + midi keyboard + soft synths, to quickly compose ideas?shapesalad
    • I couldn't even imagine composing when there's so many menus and UI of various gear to remember just to add a triplet somewhere or tweak a filter.shapesalad
    • Rei Harakami made amazing music with just one piece of equipment:shapesalad
    • https://www.youtube.…shapesalad
    • http://www.mc-club.n…shapesalad
    • all those amazing compositions from a what essentially is a dorky roland sound module.shapesalad
    • Those Moogerfoogers have never looked so expensive...keewee
    • It says down the bottom right that you're Trumps Mate ?microkorg
    • Lovely collection. The Minotaur rack ears are mad!mort_
    • How do you like the Analog Heat? Do you use it on the mix or individual instruments or both?mort_
    • its funny, people always think it would be a roadblock to have that many choices, but as its all patched in and ready to go, you just pick one and start.autoflavour
    • I often write music just on the train with my laptop (which is just Ableton and headphones) but as I write lots of it with midi, so then I just come home andautoflavour
    • send the notes out to the machines..autoflavour
    • as for needing to learn everything, that's half the fun, but also its not hard to learn enough to use things..autoflavour
    • Rei Harakami is one of my favourite artists.. not that I make anything even remotely like itautoflavour
    • and yes, Monomachine + machine drum is the point of this photo..autoflavour
    • Analogheat, I usually just use it on individual instruments .. have played a little bit with as a master effect, but usually it just seems overkillautoflavour
    • moogerfoogers.. this is actually the second set, I have another set of 3 on the other side of the studio..autoflavour
    • also yet to be installed is the Nord Rack 3, which once the ears arrive will sit above the Nord 2..autoflavour
    • microkorg.. lol.. no trump.. a friends sticker.. https://www.instagra…autoflavour
    • although just reading it again now, it can totally be read two ways.. I do not love the hate that Trump has..autoflavour

    Hey dudes, i hate to ask but could you do me a solid and slap a like on this video premiere.. im hoping if it has some likes before it drops, the youtube gods will treat it more lovingly:

    Basically its a super chill 3 hour video of improvised ambient stuff -- it drops at 2:00pm PST today! Thank you if you can support! Again, sorry to ask. Feels cringey but i gotta.

    Finally go around to putting up some stuff I've been working on lately. I'm mainly a guitar player...this is the first time I've dipped my toe in the synth/beats land.

  • Ianbolton9

    After working on this for way longer than Shape would like anyone to, I'm happy to finally finish a new track. More to follow this year.

    Just had 4 day BEATRETREAT .. 3 of us went to a remote property on the other side of the Blue Mountains near Lithgow.. spent most of the time just experimenting still with the modular and getting used to the new layout..

    literally 2 hours before we left my new Intellijel case arrived so I had to frantically transfer all the modules.

    anyway, it was fun, maybe not as productive as previous retreats..

    • Beatretreat... what a cool idea!mort_
    • Your modular setup looks awesome.mort_
    • BEATRETREAT are fucking awesome. Find some music homies, go away for a few days, sink beers, make beatsautoflavour
    • Will be a while before we can do that in Ireland but yeah, very much looking forward to any kind of jam with other humans again.mort_
    • Awesome idea. Looks decent. Anything we can hear, or is it too experimental for QBNers?Ianbolton
    • I really enjoy your posts and gear auto. your room is so neat. I can barely play but would love to drop some acid and press all those buttons and turn switchesoey_oey
    • Jesus fook, that's so incredibly cool looking.garbage
    • This is like a fantasy camp and it's awesome. Do any traditional instruments make an appearance, or all machines?stoplying
    • nothing really to hear from this yet.. past incarnations its been more just Ableton so it was easier to start making things.. this was very much just noodlingautoflavour
    • although there were some pockets of goodness, which no doubt will make it out eventually.autoflavour
    • generally its been just laptops with the occasional synth.. I just decided this time to bring some more machines. closest traditional instrument would have beenautoflavour
    • a microphone.autoflavour
    • also sorry for everyone who is still under lockdown, didn't mean to flaunt Australia's Covid free status.. its basically like it never happened here right nowautoflavour
    • Not at all mate. Actually, it’s great to see normality return in some pockets of the world. Shows the rest of us what’s around the corner, hopefully!mort_
    • I'm just happy to see some positive music shit going on. Lockdown has destroyed live music and I've lost the plot getting wrapped up in my music/ego!Ianbolton
