I decided to mix train samples and some recent minimal VCV Rack experiments I did while taking the course Learning Sound & Synthesis by Sarah Belle Reid, which is something I am able to do with the the time I got back from not commuting. The result is a wall of memory-erasing noise, the sounds that go on around us and the ones in our headphones, mixed. An imaginary pill to transition from city work life and back to suburban home life 5 times a week. I used - - Ableton Live 11, including the Echo, Channel EQ, Saturator & Limiter devices, as well as iZotope's Ozone Elements for the master. - Four tracks of manipulated freesound railway samples by robinhood76 (https://freesound.org/people/Robinhood76/packs/3729) - Four tracks of manipulated output from VCV Rack using bogaudio's PGMR and VCV's own stock VCO, VCF & LFO. This track was originally released under the artist name "Contraction America." Genre Electronic Comment by tetkik ve tedavi Excellent idea and implementation. Love the VCV and the echo sounds great! 2022-03-28T07:15:38Z
