On the second day of #jamuary2020 I experimented with this #futuregarage style. Specifically, I tried to recreate the sound of #burial. A fat #reesebass on the #prophetrev2, a flute on the #volcafm (through #thermae + #ventris) and the drums on the #digitakt. I used some #foley samples of clicking cameras for the percussion. I would explore this style more in 3 other jams this month, and on day 21 I also added pitched vocal samples, something that’s very typical for this genre.⁣ ⁣⁣ ⁣Check out the full jam on my YouTube channel!⁣ ⁣⁣⁣⁣ ⁣⁣#keystep #specularreverb2 #davesmithinstruments #sequential #prophet #2step #grime #ukgarage #ukgaragemusic #reese #samples #sampler #analogheat #elektrondigitakt #synth #synthesizer #darkmusic (at Utrecht) https://www.instagram.com/p/B8KLBOiBNJO/?igshid=6muopunbtryz

Here’s another clip of the jam I made on the last day of #jamuary2020. This is where the #reesebass on the #prophetrev2 really shines, but it also plays the pad I bring in later. Man, I love my Prophet. Melody on the #volcafm, through the #thermae and #ventris. Vocal clip from @raeleenikole’s performance of “Slow” for @pickupmusic.⁣ ⁣⁣ ⁣Check out the full jam on my YouTube channel!⁣ ⁣⁣ ⁣Phew, that’s it for Jamuary 2020! As with the previous 2 years, I was looking forward to it, but I’m happy now that it’s over. For most people #jamuary is a reason to step out of ‘production’ mode, and just experiment / improvise / jam. For me it’s (been) the other way around: with @slenterendebeer, improvisation is the basis of what we do, so with Jamuary I like to focus more time on sound design and composition. This means that I tend to spend more time on my jams than what I assume others do. (I don’t know, please tell me. Now I’m curious.) Typically I spent 2-5 hours per day on making these jams, and then recording, editing and sharing them. I have a full-time job, so that meant I didn’t get to sleep as much as I usually do. However, I am very happy with the results of this month. I have experimented with new ways of working, out of which the @weareelektron #digitakt has been an essential tool, I’ve completely fallen in love with it. And of course the Prophet has become a central element to my jams as well, it has allowed me to dive deep into #sounddesign, and its presets and features have inspired me. In the coming time I will be looking into whether I can bundle some of these tracks and release them. When I do, I’ll share it here of course.⁣ ⁣⁣ ⁣Thanks to all of you who have followed my journey this month! It’s great to see a big new group of people have started following me on different channels.⁣ ⁣⁣ ⁣⁣⁣#raeleenikole #futuregarage #futurebass #futurebeats #triphop #gangstarap #hardbeats #hardbeat #lofibeats #bassmusic #electronicmusic #synthwave #synth #synthesizer #darkwave #darksynthwave #beats #hiphop #beatmaker #synthpatcher #factinstabeats (at Utrecht) https://www.instagram.com/p/B8CePP7ByHt/?igshid=16qpikv8n7fg2

Day 31, last day of #jamuary2020… what to do? I had this drum rhythm in mind, and while I was browsing my samples on the #digitakt I found the sample that I used on day 21: @raeleenikole’s performance of “Slow” for @pickupmusic. I experimented a little and found a cool phrase, tuned it down and matched it to the beat. I love the lyrics: “It’s hyper real with clear energy / Perfect design and I swear I am dreaming”.⁣ ⁣Of course the biggest star of this jam is the dirty #reesebass on the #prophetrev2. The little melody is played on the #volcafm, for which the @chaseblissaudio #thermae adds some cute pitched delays and the @sourceaudio #ventris adds some dirt on the “lo-fi” setting. I’m using the #refacecp just as a MIDI controller, it’s not producing any sound.⁣ ⁣⁣ ⁣⁣Check out the full jam on my YouTube channel!⁣⁣ ⁣⁣⁣⁣ ⁣⁣You can listen to the full recording of Raelee Nikole’s “Slow” on her IGTV, or on Pickup Music’s YouTube channel.⁣⁣ ⁣⁣⁣⁣ ⁣⁣#raeleenikole ⁣#davesmithinstruments #sequential #futuregarage #burial #futurebass #futurebeats #2step #grime #ukgarage #ukgaragemusic #reese #samples #sampler #analogheat #elektrondigitakt #synth #synthesizer #darkmusic #synthpatcher #factinstabeats #chaseblissthermae (at Utrecht) https://www.instagram.com/p/B8BbZ3ABQLJ/?igshid=cbudl1xa37g3

Day 2 of #jamuary2020: Once I created this #reesebass type of sound on the #prophetrev2, I wanted to use it for a #futuregarage track, in the style of #burial. I spent some extra time finding cool #foley samples. Many of the small percussion sounds are samples from a camera being used - clicks etc. I’m also very happy with the sound of the #volcafm (the “blowing” factory preset is sooo good), because the #thermae and #ventris really make it into the sound I was looking for. The #digitakt still feels very new to me, especially from a performance perspective, so I’m excited to dive into it this #jamuary!⁣ ⁣⁣ ⁣#keystep #specularreverb2 #davesmithinstruments #sequential #prophet #2step #grime #ukgarage #ukgaragemusic #reese #samples #sampler #analogheat #elektrondigitakt #synth #synthesizer #darkmusic #distorted #livejam (at Utrecht) https://www.instagram.com/p/B61oLBRBN43/?igshid=82dnrn2ej42h
