Sixes

A dark electronic instrumental experiment brought to you by the numbers 808 and 909. Not genuinely scary, but maybe fit for the "something for a Halloween party" portion of this month's challenge, assuming it's a dance party.

I'm in the process of teaching myself to produce electronic dance music while simultaneously trying to get my new home studio set-up to work right. I didn't have any real direction in mind with this and I sort of got carried away, I think.

• play
• pause
• min volume
• max volume

i liked it. i think you could go even more minimal with it, but that's just me. loved the organ-y sound that starts at around 4.20. the white noise drum bits are sweet.

Thanks, peterkins. Yeah, I think it's way too busy. Part of the experiment was to see if I could get a lot of specific plug-ins and automations going at the same time as mulitple instances of memory-heavy virtual instruments on the new system and I definitely got carried away with it. But the good news is that the system works!

Cool. I was hearing a "Monster Mash"-style posh-but-unhinged English vocal going on over this - a kind of Zombie Discoid Thing
