Day 1 of my first Jamuary :slight_smile: . I’m digging what I’m hearing from you all so far and the inspiration managed to pull me away from Path of Exile 2 for a bit :joy:

my favorite time of the year!

my goal each jamuary is to end the month with at least 31 completed tracks. its nice to start the year off with a whole grip of tunes for me to listen to over and over again. this year im challenging myself to two extra rules. i used to sample random people’s vlogs for spoken word content all the time and i want to start doing that again with each track. i also want to record each track out to tape, this one has not been tracked to tape yet because i need to go buy the deck for the music station rn

edit: sheesh, i set up the tape recording session and i think it sounds significantly better. ran it through a cheap kenwood equalizer i got at goodwill on the way to the tape deck and i like how the boosts sound. i replaced the file on soundcloud with the new recording

this track was made on the ep133 in a very cold park. i made a drum loop on the drumlogue and sampled some chords from the sh-4d back at home before i went to the park. realized that my mixer is giving off a USB whine since i switched it over to an outlet. so unfortunately these samples are tainted with USB noise but glad i caught it on day 1! came home and recorded it onto the 404 to add sound effects, tags, fx, and the vlog sample.

thanks for showing the Patch card game. I’m only a semi modular user so far so my mileage may vary, but I’ve got a few friends that do modular that I’ve shared this with :slight_smile:

Day 2 is here :partying_face:

Jamuary day 1! Gotta say I don’t care for this at all, it sounds like the most boring version of the same shit I always make, with the usual mix concerns even more forward. No stress though! Nowhere to go but up this Jamuary, and I’m not here to make a series of masterpieces, and as a poet once said, they can’t all be zingers. Stoked to make something I like more tomorrow!

im enjoying everyones contributions so far! gonna do my best to do as much intentional listening to this thread throughout the month.

@get.up.trinity i dig the whole vibe here, its cozy and nostalgic. my kinda melodies

@elxsound im into the combination of instruments here, its a real brain tickler of a tune. the switchup tickles my brain even further

@Affectionate-Bee-781 so floaty, im looking forward to another month of tunes from you. love the droney end here

@foxendeavor welcome! this is cool and trippy, i immediately wanted to sample it. i may give it a go for a daily tune if you’re fine with sampling!

@Leonsarmiento my body wants to shimmy and shake, this goes hard. really into the reversed sounding element

@Boboulus this is bonkers. incredibly large sounds

@verdurin this is the first thing ive heard out of Note and im liking what im hearing. the percussion is clicky just how i like it

@slicetwo love the delays in here, real spacey

@ryanjavens i dig the crunchy drums and the fun lead lines. my kinda melodies

@kostianix absolutely wild, love the chaotic tumble into a calm outro
