Who's Actually Experimenting?

Here's my experiment.

I don't experiment as often as I probably should. I mean I experiment with different sounds in a track as I'm working on it, but 90% of the time those experiments go unused or just get deleted. The last few months I've been trying to really work on using pads more. Which has spawned a few ambient tracks I've made specifically for my own learning purposes. I even put them up on a secondary soundcloud mainly for some friends and stuff to listen to. The one I think I like the most is this one:

The "beat" was created specifically from cutting up the recording of the train. I ended up doing that a second time and it became the beat for "In Motion" in my sig. Some of the stuff I did with the pad in night train also went into the pad in "In Motion" as well. I think it's the first time the experimentation of one track lead directly to me creating a second track.

This is awesome, Im really color deficient and have generally horible eyesight so visual shows and stuff never really do it for me, but this is really cool, it reminds me of lightpaintings... You should team up with Sarah Nicolls haha, be a performance match made in heaven.
.

oh neat one of my lecturers just got namedropped

didnt expect that on this forum

and yeah hankerins that video/performance is wicked

[jstick]

Some crackin stuff in here.

Most of the experimental stuff I do is under my other project called Chuggin Petrol. It's more hip hop sounding, but with weird grooves and sounds, have a listen.

If you dig it, theres more on my soundcloud.

I love static, white noise, and sampling from strange sources. Check the tune in my sig

[hankerins]

Thanks hurtdeer and Basic. There's no love like DSF love.

The background track on that clip is an original tune called Heavy Air:

Soundcloud

All of the music in the piece is by me. Heavy Air is probably the most traditional dubstep tune in the performance, so I'm glad you thought it was far out on its own. I've never heard of Sarah Nicolls but I'll be sure to check her out. I'd really like to collaborate with more people, but (as you can imagine) it's pretty uncommon to find artists doing similar work. In the long run that fact will hopefully set me apart, but right now its kind of a pain.

The track "spinning" on my soundcloud is me experimenting. Peep it.

I've committed to building something like this before the year is out. Think I'll be really busy in December!

looks cool, whats it do?

[Siderealdb]

I'd say I'm pretty experimental. Mostly because I have chord progression.

I like this thread...

Built this track around an improvised guitar jam I recorded the other day... it's a bit of a trip

simple tone generator/synth/whatever you wanna call it, it makes neat noises.

[Karoshi]

Good idea for a thread! some deece pieces in here! i have a few experimental pieces but i wont upload them, they are not worth anyones time haha. i got a Korg Monotron and tried to make a complete track just with sounds sampled from that and processing. sounded alrite but i couldnt manage a snare tone haha.

[nowaysj]

An experiment, is an experiment. The results don't have to be "good" to be useful. Put 'em up!

Also, I just finished my senior thesis project at University and I think anyone interested in this thread would dig it. It's a dance performance set in a pitch dark room with infrared lights hanging from the ceiling. The infrared light (combined with an infrared camera) allows me to follow the dancers' movements in the dark and project abstract silhouettes of them directly onto their bodies. I then process these silhouettes even more in real time, merging them into one another, diffusing them across the room, etc. Also, we have a segment with no projections, where the speed of a solo dancer's movements controls both the playback speed and pitch of a saxophone recording, as well as generating midi notes to play samples and synths from logic. Its hard to explain, but this (very low quality) video of one of our rehearsals might give you an idea:


When I have a high quality video of the whole performance I'll come back to share that too.

Our show performance debuted last week so I thought I'd come back and share it with you guys. I made a new thread for it, check it out here:

Biggup all the artists taking risks out there!

[Electric_Head]

I have some 90 BPM, more Dub inspired tunes that shift up to 180 BPM 4x4, atmospheric, psychedelic stuff.
interested?
