This is great! Perfectly titled. The sounds and musical style are mechanical, industrial, train-like and with the Asian flavour from the Laplace presets. Nicely captured. 🇨🇳❤️🙏👍
Thanks @Spidericemidas the LaPlace presets do set the stage for eastern themes.
Another very yabai "visual", cinematic piece.
@JudasZimmerman and a hearty “yabai” to you, too. I hope @Paulieworld rralizes his dream of replacing awesome with it.
I have LaPlace, but haven't used it in ages. I think I'll revisit it tonight. Nice one.
BTW - @senhorlampada has another good one from Clockwork Orange - Horrorshow
I first saw that in college, and at least 10 times since then... and my wife has hated it every time.
I'm singing in the rain...
How does he do it folks? Does he eat? Does he sleep?
@Paulieworld considering the two brutal rapes I can see how your wife didn’t like it. The music was splendid, the language astonishing and the plot riveting. Anthony Burgess was prescient, my good droog.
@Stochastically i’m up at least till 3am every night but I nap during the day. One of the perks of not working, I am prolific cause
I love music and having the chemistry set to make it. Before iOS I made an album every couple of years and played, maybe an hour a day. Now, under two weeks to make an album.
I’ve been improvising for fifty plus years. No struggle for content. I couldn’t recommend it more. Most people, with a little instruction and musical ability could be improvising well enough in 6 months to a year never to have to worry about content again.
I’m the opposite of a perfectionist. Most tracks take an average two to four hours to make. Of that I’m actually playing under 10 minutes and if there’s a lead line to be added half an hour tops.
The challenge is to make something decent out of anything I happen to improvise. If I screw up while I’m recording those five minutes I just don’t stop playing and try again. I realize, after four years at it, that I can correct any error somehow. Either by midi editing, transposing, or mixing out the flubs. There’s always a way it seems,
And, of course, not every track has to be, or will be, a masterpiece. The fun is in the doing. And I’m always after the next track.
Finally, a theme really helps. It’s a structure you want to put nine tracks inside of.
I never seem to stray from this workflow. I regularly discover little things that improve my ability to rescue missteps. But learning something like Arp PolyStep Unit, for example, is a big undertaking which I have to carefully consider…. Is it worth it?
Viddy well, little brother. Viddy well.
@Paulieworld viddy is all I have left now that doing the old in out in out with the devotchkas high on Moloko Plus is out of reach. Nothin but eggiweggs and Jammiwam these days. Thank Bog for iOS.
Although you say you’re not a perfectionist, you can somehow produce spontaneously without clunky mistakes (as I do). That’s why I approach music more from what I think of as a sculptural angle.
Still, from your and others examples here, I am trying out more free improvs.
I like playing with all of the sequencer / arp apps but then I must do a lot of pruning and weeding to find just a few moments of interest.
Like you, I seek out as much time as I can each day for music although I’ve got some other stuff going on that gets in the way and takes me out of music dreamland.
Anyway, you’re on a roll - more power to you!
@Stochastically for sure, I agree with you, cutting away what doesn’t work is a tremendous approach and I utilize that a lot. Glad to hear you’re improvising. Did you read, perchance, the improvising exercise I posted here a few years ago? Here it is…

I don't know how you do it, but each piece of yours is great, and this one is such a colorful mix that listening it I have feel like I've traveled half of the world, great journey
Thanks so much for those kind words @dakti. I’m glad It could transport you transcontinentally.
Amazing, Mike. Really love the journeys you take us with your music. Every sound, every texture...
Horrorshow is such a good term. But for those unfamiliar, it may sound as if you're dissing on them
btw, I have this t-shirt, adequate for clockwork fans
@senhorlampada, thanks, mate. Horrorshow= bad = good… as defined by the Ministry Of Truth.
