I've gotten behind on things. This was originally recorded on the last day of January, but for various reasons, I haven't been able to finish anything for upload until now. Anyway, this is a slightly shorter recording of another noisy generative patch. The approach here was similar to the first one, though I re-patched everything from scratch, doing things a bit more deliberately this time around and employing more looped back sample recording through feedback loops.
Still, the patch left something to be desired. I continue to struggle with achieving an ideal balance of dynamics, motion, sounds and silences, which becomes particularly challenging with certain modules here, as the main sound source simply cycles through its library of user samples in order, and the only real way to disrupt, or at least partially mask, the rote order of what samples are heard is to feed it chaotic triggers in order to hopefully make it stop and start reading samples at reliably indiscernible intervals, and with reliably chaotic looping patterns and pattern lengths for the samples themselves.
Another problem has to do with my ego playing tricks on me. About the only thing that I can count on is that it all sounds great until I actually hit the record button and start listening critically. Focus and intent are two more things to work on.
