2¼ Minutes of Exquisite Distraction

video upload by boxoftextures

"Well, it was 2:15 in length when I started, but then I had to let it play longer so there'd be enough to keep going under the credits. I'm putting this in the "demo" category even though it's also actual music, but it may be quite some time before it's filled out, added to, totally finished.

So basically this is one way to work on the iPad. Four synths, effects, clips being launched, mixing, etc. Well, two synths I guess as the bass and the piano are pretty much set. And using presets kind of goes against the grain for me but the Other Desert Cities rhythm/echoes thing was just so juicy when I was flipping through the list looking for mine that I had to keep it. And then I used it again LOL. It just makes the thing come alive somehow.

So this tune shows how it all comes together on the iPad, at least for me. Everything in AUM (AUM as a platform?), with launchable MIDI clips in Atom Piano Roll 2. The first clip is just "on" by default, meaning it automatically starts up when the AUM play button is tapped. The others come in when manually launched. It may appear that they're not immediately starting when the button is pressed, mainly because that's true. The clips start on the beat, so if you're careful things can easily be kept in sync. And I'm not going to mention a take or two where I was not as careful as I needed to be and things were on beat two or three instead of on beat one. There's settings to deal with that if you care to, but I don't usually.

Bass courtesy of iFretless Bass, the closest to a Chapman Stick you can get without getting a Chapman Stick. As I've said before, always wanted one and may someday actually do it. There's a black 10-string Railboard (with aluminum dot inlays and a MIDI pickup) with my name on it somewhere off in the possibly distant future. But I digress. Weird but entrancing "clapping" rhythm provided by adding Other Desert Cities onto the bass. Flipping through the presets and I literally did a "whoa" when I stopped on that one. Piano chords from Ravenscroft; it just feels like a piano to me when I play it. Extra added space courtesy of Eos 2, kind of my go to. Then some ridiculously thick and moving textures from Flowtones. Only had it a little while but it's already one of my favorite synths, enough so that I'm probably going to get the Mac version too. And then I decided I needed a little bit more of some punchy rhythm so I went for Laplace and cranked up some resonator action. And then I sent that through the same Other Desert Cities preset and on into Shimmer for added texture. As one does. And then we'll see what happens after that once it's given some time to develop.
