My upcoming record, Memo City M, mixed for your listening pleasure. (all slammed thru my 90's mackie 1202vlz) These songs are me really trying to capture the feel of my 80's bike rides to the mall. There is so much fetishizing of all of this out there that I felt duty-bound to show you thru your ears what it really felt like. Because I was there. And I nailed it. 1. Ripples 2. N Lou-Al 3.

Started with a dub techno chord patch I've been working on. Added a couple of short bass guitar loops, pretty basic kick and percussion, a strat and-a-chuk, and the greatest patch ever syth bass 1 from the greatest juno, the alpha juno, vial the tal-pha plugin (which is indistinguishable). And under all of this, a drone from a make noise tape & microsound music machine. All run thru the humble mac...

Does chill dub techno exist? This week I switched back around to a trusty mackie 1202 and my original scarlett 2i2. All sounding really good. A little noisy, but who cares these days. Started with a 57 on all the birds outside this am. Added a cr-78-ish beat via the tr6s. Arp from the mopho. Fed these thru the mackie with boss delay and reverb on the aux channels. Added bass guitar, some almost du...

A drone from a few days ago (system-1 (aria) into an old mackie 1202 with a boss delay feedback loop--connected about 70% correctly). These mixers sound so great. Fed it back thru with a simple op-1 e-piano arp. This combo always works well, easily. Almost nothing going on here. ********** ©2024 alpha juno llc + jd torian

©2024 alphajuno llc + jd torian ****** Recorded acoustic guitar and dulcimer (in d) into the op1 tape loop with some other reverb. Then fed that thru the morphagene > mimeophon--looooong loop. Played bass over this. And then went outside and recorded some nice birds with computer mic. Had a nice fader jam. Fairly minimal processing.

©2024 alpha juno llc + jd torian #april2024 ********** This one started as a 1 or 2 bar op1 loop on top of another op1 loop. Then I threw the kitchen sink at it, including my kind-of booger make noise micro tape machine. A lot of the pieces and bits were done so long ago I have no idea where they came from! Anyhoo, love this one and look forward to seeing how it changes over time.

'Best' part of my am session, prepping for a short set tonight. Keeping it mellow as I am opening for an acoustic singer songwriter. Chill for sure. No backbeat helps a ton (which only recently occurred to me). The idea is to be long an subtle. Melodics are op1 tape loops brought back into ableton. All manner of everything used. Samples, the mic, fx, synths etc. op1 (field in this case) does not g...
