KeinDAW - 'Kafkaesque Focus' take 2 | Live DAWless jam by Greencross - 13.05.18 - TECHNO

in #techno6 years ago (edited)


Hello dear friends!

Welcome to a new episode of KeinDAW!. A @DLive / @DTube 'crossover' series of #techno and electronic music live jams recorded in one take and posted 'as is'.

This is Greencross' 55th electronic music video for the Blockchain. YEAH!

Please make some justice and put your headphones on, or listen on a loud system and never mind the lack of focus

This KeinDAW episode is TAKE ONE of: 'KAFKAESQUE FOCUS'.

‘Turns out the video wasn't focused’

[Greencross]

Totally Kafkaesque

KeinDAW?

KeinDAW isn't DAWless!: since I'm not 100% without a DAW here, because I'm using Ableton Live 10 for recording and appliying live effects such as reverb, tape delay and compression.

Crossover you said?

Yes, crossover!. I've taken this concept from old coming books:

In comic books, an intercompany crossover is a comic or series of comics where characters that at the time of publication are the property of one company meet those owned by another company.

Why is KeinDAW a crossover series now?

Simply because of two reasons:

  • I'd like to contribute to both platforms: @DLive and @Dtube. And I'd like to have original content on each. This is why I'll record a first take for one platform and a second take for the other. Since no two takes are ever the same, I'm solving the problem of original content with this approach.

  • Due to my occupation as a manager for multiple record labels, it's currently impossible for me to compose two tracks per day. I only have limited time to record videos, and my lack of computing power sets me in a position where I can't even edit them. This is the reason my videos are made in one take.

Live Jam what?:

Live Jam Take, means that this was a single take recording. Unedited and without any post-production. You are listening to how it sounded. I'm just recording a jam that will be later edited and prepared for commercial use.

Playing the following instruments:

Elektron Digitakt, Make Noise 0-Coast, Dreadbox Hades, Moog Minitaur.

This jam was recorded today.

In one take. Unedited. Unmixed. Mistakes included.

KeinDAW: How did I do this?

First I spent some time shaping the sound palette I was going to use for this jam before recording.

If you are interested in watching the process from the very beginning, I have posted the WorkFLOW to compose one of my previous jams 'Logical Patterns' from scratch here (absolutely boring if you are not into music production).

Then I created a simple sequence and started improvising over it, while recording in audio / video.

This KeinDAW live jam you are watching has been recorded after having the sounds already defined, and part of the sequence already prepared.
This jam was sequenced only from my Elektron Digitakt, an 8 voice digital drum computer and sampler, which happens to have one of the best sequencers in the world. It's the "brain" of this live rig.
This live jam was multi-tracked into Ableton Live 10 (meaning each instrument's audio output was recorded as a separate file, for the sake of being able to edit and post-produce it later) using a MOTU UltraLite MK1 as Audio Interface.

Audio gear used:

  • Drum Machine:

Elektron Digitakt

  • Synthesizers:

MakeNoise 0-Coast / Dreadbox Hades / Moog Minitaur

  • Audio Interface:

MOTU UltraLite MKI

  • Hardware Audio Effects

Befaco Spring Reverb (Effecting 0-Coast)

RML 432k Distortion

The next step?

To edit the track on a DAW (Ableton Live 10 or maybe Bitwig) and have it ready for mastering. Then sign it on a record label or release it on my own
