I'm still around just haven't posted much. I finally got some time to play with a new musical idea after working on an ethereal drone-type track I wanted to do something more upbeat. #torsot1 #pigments #omnisphere

I did an improv set starting with an included pattern using @timexile.bsky.social’s new tool PTNSHIFT. It’s a generative music performance tool. Super fun! Links to the full video in bio where you can also find his patreon

#jamuary Day 31! Today's the last day of this journey. Now for the fun part of listening to them all and deciding which ones to take further. Which ones were your favorites?

#jamuary Day 30. This is one of those days when I am feeling rather than thinking when playing. This one just clicked for me. Using Fors Chiral.

#jamuary Day 29. Today is my youngest kid's bday. I had him in mind while doing this one. I don't know how the days can be so long and short simultaneously. ooof.

#jamuary Day 28! Thinking about how many musical ideas I have to work with is pretty cool. I played around with Arturia's Pigments 6 for this one.

#jamuary Day 27. Only a few more days left. I've been learning a lot about myself, and the tools I have and use. I'm finding that less is more with what I've been working with.

#jamuary Day 25. I'm not listening back to any of these until February. I'll take stock to see which ones will make the cut to become a complete track.

#jamuary Day 24. Music keeps me sane when the world feels crazy. It's kind of a meditation for me. I can tune everything out and just be in the music.

#jamuary Day 23. I decided to explore Ableton's Mood Reel pack. I started with presets but played with the parameters to create new sounds. Playing the flute sounds on the Osmose gave it a real natural sound.

#jamuary People ask me why I don't sing more in my work. I blame it on my lack of lyric-writing skills. Sometimes I'll sing nonsense which is what I did here. All sounds used/created with Stale + Ash's Auras. The video was shot at the Monterey Bay Aquarium.

#jamuary Day 21. I've had Arturia's Pigments for ages and have never really played with the engine. I decided to get under the hood and make my own sounds for this one. Video was shot on a plane flying over Norway.

#Jamuary Day 19. I played around with the amazing @timexile.bsky.social's new creation, Scapeshift. I used my own sounds but his device is powering it. I've barely scratched the surface. I'll be exploring more. Find it here www.patreon.com/c/TimExile/h...

#jamuary day 18. I discovered some free vsts from Crow Hill Productions. I created a nice idea with those and Labs from Spitfire Audio which also has several free sounds. The video was taken in the Channel Islands of California.
