The songs will be up on streaming sometime next month, so here's the early bird access for now!

'shiribetsu' winter ambient - project files!

hi!

sorry for the last minute update, but thank you all for a great 2024!

here are the project files for ’a visit to wintry shiribetsu’ EP, which is a batch of songs I wrote as a sequel for Zurich's Green Music project.

the chord rack - MIDI preset!

hi!

here's an idea that sort of needs further developing, but would probably be an interesting concept - which is the 'chord rack' - a drum rack format midi effect that instead triggers midi chords.

to give a bit of a background story, I had the idea of this when preparing for a live show, which had a sequence of chord progressions ...

20240912 - project file!

hi!

below is the project file for the demo tune I posted in the previous post!

inspired by the recent floating points tracks, the use of the Ableton Analog instrument paired with modulation to imitate the octave jumps of the Yamaha CS synths (famously use...

20240912 (demo) - unreleased music!

hi!

here's a little demo dance tune I made from last month, which initially came from a short loop on the Model:Cycles.

Feel free to download and listen on local devices / play in your DJ sets!

BPM is 132, key is D# minor.

stems are also available below so you're welcome to use them in your creations if you wish!

auto-chord progressions with LFO Eight (+sound presets)

The updated Chord device in Live 12 has improved by miles with the new semitone feature introduced in conjunction with the project key feature, so here's an idea and video on how I came up with utilizing the LFO Eight device and Chord/Scale device for generating chord progressions.

It can hopefully come in handy when you're out of id...

LFO Eight - a useful mappable LFO device

hi!

I've always had this problem with the LFO device in ableton, which is that there's only one oscillator accessible from a single instance of the device.

Meaning that if I wanted to modulate a parameter with a sine wave, another with a saw wave, and another with a random wave, I would've had to open three instances of LFO.

NEW SKIN remix - stems!

hi!

here are the stems for the remix I recently did for the band Blumepopo!

NEW SKIN (phritz remix) - project file!

hi!

here's the project file for my latest remix I did for the band Blumepopo !

There weren't much references for this remix, other than the idea of wanting to do a polyrhythmic/ sort-of-math rock approach, hence the bit at 0:47~

Also I was ...

jingle client demos (that didn't make it... but are still kinda cool)

hi!

apologies once again for the lack of updates for this month too, the PAS TASTA album is in the final stages and thus have been quite occupied with it but that is coming near the end too (hooray)

here's another project file of jingles I did for a YouTube project back a few years ago!

I recently came back to it...

how I make sync (ad) music - 2nd demo project file

here's the project file for the 2nd demo from the previous post , as I figured some of you might just prefer to look at the project file rat...

how I make sync (advertisement) music - the 2nd demo process

here's the documented process of the 2nd demo (I usually get asked to make 2 or 3 demos) that didn't get accepted as the final version!

This one is mostly unedited because 1. I didn't have time to edit it... and 2. there wasn't much to cover anyway as it got abandoned early on (didn't get accepted),

so I'd recommend watching the vide...

how I make sync (advertisement) music

here's a video of me making a piece from scratch for a sync (advertisement) work I did recently!

I made 2 demos (version A and B), and this video features the process of version A which was the accepted version.

the documented part was around 5 hours total (+ an extra maybe around 5~10 I couldn't record) and I figured that's too lon...

summit (fuji rock edit) - audio!

hI!

here's the audio for the summit edit I made for playing at fuji rock festival.

feel free to download to play on your local devices or to play out in DJ sets, etc.

summit (fuji rock edit) - project file

hi!

bit of a small one but here's the project for the summit edit I made for fuji rock!

I don't think I've used any external plugins apart from some mixing plugins (pro-mb, pro-l) so most of the processing should be visible straight out of the box.

If you don't have pro-l, just swap it out for a standard ableton limiter...

prophet loops & samples

hi!

here's a batch of prophet-6 samples I've recorded for various songs that I thought might be useful for you to explore too.

the audio above is an example of what's included (most of the samples aren't this long)

the gear used for these are mostly just the prophet-6 and the MOOD mkII (the glitchy pitched eff...

m4l device mini updates (SoT, MOOD clock operator)

hi!

I’ve made a few tweaks to some of my devices so here's an overview:

sequence on trigger 16

I've added a new 'equal interval randomization' feature which allows each step to be divided and fixed to specified intervals, whose controls are located at the top section of the sequencer UI. the video atta...

oceanwaves (unreleased) - project file!

hi!

I'm at this point where I'm showing you all the project file for my unreleased songs which probably isn't the smartest thing to do lol, but I'm kinda running late on phritz releases due to various surrounding issues (mainly distribution),

anyhow, here's the project file for the unreleased song I put up on the previo...

oceanwaves (unreleased) + stems!

hi!

here's an unreleased song inspired by bonobo/o'flynn & artists in that realm, that I plan to release someday (don't know when though, might not even ever come out lol) + the stems for it,

I'd like to kindly ask you not to release the entire song under your name (because I made it) but you are welcome to use elements of...

MOOD clock in ableton...

hi!

I was messing with Ableton's stock Looper the other day (since I didn't know much about), and turns it out, in conjunction with Redux, can do pretty much the same thing as the ambient enthusiasts' beloved guitar pedal, 2024-06-26 09:03:56 +0000 UTC View Post

tiny pool centennial (new project?) - demos!

hi!

life has been quite hectic with PAS TASTA so apologies for the lack of updates on music production related topics, but here are a few indie pop-ish demos I've been saving for a new project that I'm (probably) calling 'tiny pool centennial'

while still needing to write a lot of lyrics and polish the overall production, here are so...

rooms and reverb... (pt.1)

hi!

here's a little video  about my love for small room recordings, and how unique of a tone they can be.

also the drive link attached to this post holds a few raw recordings I did utilizing the technique + some processed ones through granulator. feel free...

bonobo / floating points style orchestral piece (audio)

here's a song I did for an ad sync thing and did not end up getting placed, but still thought is worth sharing.

project file is up for the upper tiers on the previous post!

bonobo / floating points type ad sync song project!

hi!

here's an orchestral project for an ad sync thing I did a while ago, with client references of bonobo / floating points

I'd say the takeaway from this project is, it's ok to use a bunch of presets if it sounds cool.

most of the sounds in this project are Kontakt presets (2024-05-15 00:20:49 +0000 UTC View Post

a few utility m4l devices! (bms, MIDI LFO, keyswitches ii)

hi!

here are a few utility m4l devices I may or may have not posted here before so here they are!

bms

- standing for 'bend, mod, sustain', bms is a simple 3 parameter device that allows the Pitch Bend wheel, Modulation wheel and Sustain pedal to be automated within the track automation lane.

a lot of... riser samples!

hi!

I figured everyone on here doesn't use ableton so here's a bunch (50 to be exact) of riser samples sampled from my infinite riser ableton rack!

use them however you'd like, as is or layer them with some other cool sounds for your sound design needs!

infinite riser Ableton rack (inspired by mr.bill's Massive technique)

hi!

here's a little rack I made with Ableton's operator + stock effects + 'random on trigger' which creates a different riser sound every time you hit the 'Rand' button at the top of the macro rack!

It's really simple to use and really, really useful... (at least for me!)

I'll put up another post with 50 riser sam...

writing with guide melodies & sampling

hi!

here's a mostly uncut video of me trying to make a folktronica/ambient song from scratch!

+showing the idea of how using a guide melody for audio chops can help improve the cohesiveness or catchiness of your songs! (which is the key element of what I think separates a very good folktronica song and an ok-one)
