Hello dear friends!

Here's the 42nd video of my Electronic Music Live Jam series and my third time on @DLive.

This jam is named 'Power & Greed'..

'Power & Greed' is an exploration of sounds. I actually couldn't sleep, so I went up at 2am and started fiddling with ideas of soundscapes for a science fiction movie. Maybe the fact I watched the sci-fi flick 'Genesis' a few days ago helped to inspire this jam.

Used the following instruments:

Elektron Digitakt, Make Noise 0-Coast.

This was recorded today.

In one take. Unedited. Unmixed. Mistakes included.

How did I do this?

First I spent some time shaping the sound palette I was going to use for this jam before recording. I have posted this and this workflow videos in the past (absolutely boring if you are not into music production) where you get to see the process from the very beginning. This video has been recorded after having the sounds already defined. Although no sequence was prepared prior to the jam.

I played all live using my very limited skills, and programmed a small sequence in the middle of the jam.

This jam was sequenced only from my Elektron Digitakt, an 8 voice digital drum computer and sampler, which happens to have one of the best sequencers in the world. It's the "brains" of this live rig.

This live jam was multi-tracked into Ableton Live 10 (meaning each instrument's audio output was recorded as a separate file, for the sake of being able to edit and post-produce it later) using a MOTU UltraLite MK1 as Audio Interface.

Hardware synths used:

Elektron Digitakt / MakeNoise 0-Coast

The next step?

to edit the track on a DAW and have it ready for mastering, then sign it on some record label or release it on my own
