Feb 2022 fawmtronica old-folkie-with-sampler maschine
In this installment of my unending set of growing looping compositions with my Maschine MK2, I figured out how to access all my VSTis within Maschine, so now my weird Spitfire Labs instruments are in my arsenal. This sounded like AC Hum or interference on an analog phone line... but from space... so.... Spaceline Hum.
I'm primarily an acoustic folkie but I've been monkeying with a Native instruments Maschine Controller for about 4 months. I have been using Melodics to help me learn basic finger drumming skills (and assist me with trying to understand that thing that drummers do). I am just now at the stage where I can load samples, craft loops and assemble them into something resembling a song. I am going to try do a sample based something every day this FAWM. They are not polished productions but my path to adding these modern tools to my box of crayons. If anyone wishes to expand on these sketches, add lyrics, etc.., drop me a line and I can hook you up with Maschine files (and maybe midi if I learn how to export those).
Nope-- if you hear some let me know and we can collab.

I’m picking 3 from all my watchlisters snd checking them out! Cool effect with the drum and bass loop MK2 ehhh… interesting and very interstellar :)

Nice work, those glassy bells give it a twinkling of stars feel in the background, very peaceful and chill track.

Digging the contrast between the thumping finger drums and the high tones and scratchies which seem to hang in the air. So different from what I've heard from you before--I like it.

This is beautiful--love those sparkly synths. I feel like I'm in space and it's super cool. Love it.

Sean! I love that you are doing this. It's like being in a sandbox of wonder... what's gonna happen next?!? what treasures will we unearth? I'm into it. I'm floating in space with you.

Very cool..very Sci fi star Wars feel to it.
Love hearing your songs, experimenting with different sounds and instruments.
Great job...

Ooh, this is fun. The ominous bass drone makes those piano arpeggios sound somewhat anxious.
And while I love having new boxes of crayons to play with, and although my Komplete Kontrol MIDI keyboard works with Maschine, I've yet to attempt to make any music with it at all because the idea of learning a whole new workflow feels too intimidating; kudos to you for doing so! I really should knuckle down and have a go...

This is pretty cool!

Nice work on Spaceline Jam! It really gave me a sense of floating along in the dense darkness and vastness of space! I like how the chord changes play out and don't seem to be tied to strict, structured counting. Very nice!
