This is the output of a patch i'm in the process of designing. The beats are stock.

Guest Minute - RichardG
CornelG: 16 Years
Hello world! Checked my inbox this morning and found a guest minute from none other than Cornel G, singer from Monti. You should keep your eye on them over the next few weeks, they will be coming out with their debut CD (EP? album?) very soon and from what snippets I've heard so far, it's gonna be awesome.
Anyway, enjoy - this dude really knows how to sing.

Easter Minute
LawrenceMinute0096: Easter Minute
Thanks to Jeff i am now again able to record my bass guitar. All it took was one lousy cable. Anyway the last minute that i posted that features some real bass lines is from May 2nd of last year. Skip the first minute or so and it's pretty decent. I remember being all stoked about that opening bass line but listening back to it now i can't imagine why. The rest of it i kinda like though.
Anyway here i am almost a year later with yet another faulty minute.

The quease
LawrenceMinute0095: The quease
Yesterday night i have been partaking in some rudementary sampling. I have seperately recorded at two velocities all keys of a little thumb piano that was lying around. By loading the samples into a sampler and cross fading between the low and the high velocity samples on every note i made a crude digital version of the thumb piano. The cool thing is that once you've got this all set up, you can start experimenting with playback parameters and really sculpt the sounds. Here's a minute expose of my digital sample-based thumb piano. The queasiness readings for this one are through the roof! Protip: use some of this!

Well, the obvious answer to the question of what this needs is of course:

Anyway, when i heard this i thought that those awesome d#rums were yearning for some smooth action in the lower regions. That's why i added this lamenting bass part. It came to me by reverse time capsule from a forlorn future. Hopefully you'll like it.

This shit ain't done yet though. At least to me it feels like it could use a finishing touch. It needs something else! Anyone have any guud ideas?
This is just a drumtrack I made today. Not sure how to continue. If one of you guys has an opinion on what this needs...

JKT071 - F.A.C.T.
JeffMinute071: F.A.C.T.
Yesterday woke up and tried making a minute without any real input as to how it sounded - a minute that would only reveal itself upon its first listen. First mouseclicked a very simple melody into Reason, then recorded this as a loop to ableton.
Asked Iwan for a 4-letter word, he was good enough to provide me with FACT. Then used this word to provide the framework for the construction of the minute.
1. created 4 tracks, each representing one of the letters. Kept midi notes the same for all 4 tracks.
2. Loaded semi-random presets in reason for each track. Name of the Reason preset for 1st track started with an F, 2nd with an A etc.
3. Recorded each track to Ableton one by one, changing the bpm during recording according to each letter - the F track at 60bpm (F=6th letter of alphabet), A track at 10bpm etc.
4. T track looped at original speed, C track slowed down 2x, A track slowed down 4x, F track slowed down 8x.
5. Applied different reverb effects to each track, reverb presets also beginning with the letters F, A, C and T.
6. Listened to that shit. Nicely surprised!

'cha!
Iwan & Jeff: 'CHA!
Iwan & I've been hanging out pretty much all weekend so far, making cool tunes in the day and going to strp at night. Threw this loop together last night, sounds kinda brazilian or something don't it?

A quick post before i head off to the strp-festival in Eindhoven for the weekend. These minutes here are the product of an anxiousness and edginess that has really been bothering me this week and as such i suppose they are not too pleasant sounding. Gotta keep on trucking though.

Dr. Frankenstein's failed experiment
LawrenceMinute0091: Dr. Frankenstein's failed experiment
Standing in your damp and dark laboratory with a malicious grin upon your face. Before you lies the fruit of your long arduous labor. The conditions are good. Time to crank up the amperage. As vast amounts of current are surging through that make-shift lifeless body you turn the dial even higher. For a moment the body is thrown into convulsions but no herr doktor, it was not meant to be. Life is not to be tampered with. It will not reveal its precious secret to you. This experiment shall not succeed. Back to the drawing board for you.
