Sometimes the first but more often the second. Most of the 2019 recordings (which I am still burning through; there's one left) are taken straight from the modular synth which I had set up to play all the parts. That's not an immediate process, by the way. It involves a couple of hours building, listening, and tweaking until I have a result that sounds good (or at least interesting) .. then I turn it off and come back the next day to see if I still like it - and adjust if necessary. I then record the patch on a handheld field recorder for a few minutes and take it apart. Weeks or months later I listen to the recording and wish I had done something different with it. In 2018 I recorded most of them to multi-track where they would sit until I either added something to them or decided they were complete as-is. I'm going back to that technique this year because I think it yields better results in the end, but it is a lot slower.
2020-03-10 18:43:44 +0000 UTCwell... yeah, you seem to be correct. one thing i never asked. do you wait tfor the whole cycle to end and then repeat when you are making these... and then record stuff you think sounds good by adding your touch? Or do you "surprise yourself" by making music that does not loop and add a personally made tune on the spot you feel appropriate for what you are hearing at that time?
