Not really news…

Posts are rare these days, but rest assure there are a lot of things cooking in the Glitzerstrahl labs. The modular synth is taking up a lot of time, but most of it is pure explorations and learnings at this point. Not so much actual music being made.

I’m slowly working on the next Cumulus track, which I plan to pull in a more melodic direction, but I want to use it as an excuse to experiment with a workflow that utilizes the Maschine as well as Live in the setup. Therefor it’s taking longer than usual.

Keep tuning in, there’s lots more coming!

In the meantime, tell me what you are working on! Any modular / analog stuff happening?

New Song (16 Bit Police Car)

Imagine if you will a 16 bit police car speeding through a sketchy 2d neighborhood…
I wasn’t really going for it at the outset, but this track soon took of in the direction of old game music some how…

I decided to take a break from the modular stuff and spend some time with Maschine again. This track was made entirely with soft synths from Arturia and percussion samples from Maschine.

Hope you like it, it’s a bit corny but I had a lot of fun making it :)
Now back to patching…

New Song (The Mystery Club)

This is an Electro inspired track that I’ve been doodling with lately. It’s not really Electro in the stricter sense, but somewhere in the border lands between Electro , Pop and some kind of Daft Punk-envy?

Most of the sounds are custom Massive patches, including the percussion which is a mix of Maschine expansion samples and some layered Massive patches…

Anyways, I hope you like this slightly different excursion from the usual Glitzerstrahl sound… (if there is such a sound yet?) :D

Just a quick update. The past 5 days I’ve spent working on a new track called ‘Snow’. It’s the first track in what I hope will become the Hakusan series, if time, energy and inspiration permits :). You can listen to the result in the post below this one (or here).

I’ve also been sampling some more environments, including some really nice sounds from a Ramen shop that I will post as soon as I’ve transferred polished it a little.

That’s enough for today. Short and sweet. Will keep you posted!

New Song (Snow)

First track of 2013! Happy new year!

This track is the first in what I hope will become a series of songs. I will talk more about the common theme and goal of this series at a later point.

This particular track is trying to capture some of the feeling of walking home late at some cold winter night just as the snow starts to fall.

The track was made entirely using Maschine, but the sounds come from a mixture of custom Massive patches, some heavily modulated and FX’d FM8 patches, Maschine library samples and home made sound effects.

Hope you like it :)
