leaves, faint stars, a sore shoulder…a vague feeling of being tired that only clouds your head slightly instead of making you sleepy.

idk, weird feels.

renard’s all up like “looket me i can syn th1”

so I felt compelled to make my own percussion using synth1

and then I made the best damn snare I’ve ever made using any synth ever

then I wrote a quick bassline because why not

hey look another “watch sci make a song slowly” video!

more house, this time I try to “remix” Daft Punk

I don’t like how it turned out and I’m not releasing it, but it’s the first time I did vocals in an OHC so that’s kinda neat.

I decided to go ahead and make a draft album for every album I have planned, and upload all the tracks I’ve made so far.

The requirement was to have at least two tracks in progress before making a draft album.

well I finally sorted through my “unreleased music” playlist and…

IT SURE IS DRAFTY IN HERE

Rainbow and Rooted - My Review

lavenderharmony:

24. Bose-Einstein Disco Complex: This is going to be a tricky one for many, but I really did appreciate this entry this time. I really enjoyed it for what it is, especially with the added drum beat that added a heck of a lot of energy to it. The different tracks have been mixed in well together, and honestly? I’d love to watch this being performed on a launchpad or other controllerism setup. (With bonus cookies for having a sample of Prof. Poliakoff)

I don’t even know how I’d begin to tackle that, but I feel compelled to try since you mentioned it.

also how is it that everybody immediately recognizes prof Poliakoff

silvahound:

echelon-music:

Okay sci’s track is really fucking amazing

Was there ever any doubt?

YES there was any doubt! from me!

I was honestly super worried that everyone would listen and be like “this is not Hurricane Dial 2.0, and I am disappointed.”

afaict that’s not the general reaction though, so I’m glad. :)

I can’t think of much else to say here really!

hopefully you dig it!

synth1 improv something

I’ve been doing this for the past…40 minutes now? whoops.

everything you hear was made live, by just modifying the parameters on a single instance of synth1 while a single chord was playing.

hrmmm… I’ve mixed feelings about this track.

sci - 2 by bored

from around noon on the 10th of april, 2007. made in one hour.

all sounds were taken from image files.

I am not sure why this isn’t on sketches from math class, really. I’m quite fond of it.

Err sci the last three links in your Album Recommendations post are D Fast's Sunday :I Could you fix that - oh and you also broke the majority of the links in your Daft Punk thingy yes. yes.

Mon, 03 Jun 2013 17:34:39 -0500

…oh whoops! fixed now.

and the video too. I have no idea how that happened. o_0

Sat, 01 Jun 2013 04:43:52 -0500

it is now 4:40am and I am legit going to sleep. I only saw this because I compulsively check tumblr before going to sleep, like any normal person.

also I just sent in the minor-fix’d final version of my song for R&R. on that thought, can you like judge it super quickly and just tell me “yeah this is not what we want on the album” so I can move on? the suspense is killing me >_<

also oh hey look at that. 111 and 11. neat.

anosci:

ah, the problem here is the header.

you should save your sounds as *.RAW

but…it’s also not quite that easy. you have to take a few things into consideration.

how to start: for everything I’ve done, I played a tone at the note of A (~440 Hz, or some multiple) and exported the sound as a WAV at 44.1 kHz (which gives the resulting image a bit of a tilt, but whatever)

this makes one period about 401 pixels wide, so set 401 (or some multiple. if you see “scanlines”, change the width. 802 seems to work for me in most cases.) as the width for image import, and pick a random number for the height.

important: if you export the sound as an 8 bit WAV, open the file as an image with a bit depth of 8 bits per pixel. (8 and 24 are the best options to work with. I use irfanview for this, no idea what import options other programs have)

of course, you could ignore that last bit, but you’ll get a very noisy image.

so what are you looking at? (assuming 8bit sound opened as an 8bit image), black means low point, white means high point. a saw wave would look like a perfect gradient going from left to right. a square wave would look like a straight line division: black on the left, white on the right, and no grey.

for a 24bit image, I haven’t quite figured that out. each channel seems to be something different.

ok I made some changes, now what? first, you should note this:

those first few, not-gradient-looking pixels? that’s the header. if you keep these intact, it makes things just a little bit easier. nothing required though

what you need to do: save the resulting image as RAW data if you can.

if not, a BMP will suffice. (just change the extension. it’s basically the same thing, just backwards.)

open up your modified RAW file, chop off the first 0.1 seconds or so (if needed), and you should be done.

hopefully this was helpful :)

reblog

1. for awake-at-a-decent-hour people

2. because this probably fits pretty well on my main blog too

I can’t think of anything else to add/change for my R&R entry

soooo…

submitted.

but it’s not hurricane dial 2: the sequel so I’m not really expecting anyone else to like it. <_<
