craque sprung 🏳️‍🌈<p>20 years ago I wrote a soundtrack to an indie film that sorta fell on its face and never went anywhere after the premiere because of some falling out between the producers.</p><p>It is funny how excited I was to "break into film scoring" after moving to LA and then that happened.</p><p>The music is still some of my favorite personal stuff, so I released it all myself:</p><p><a href="https://craque.bandcamp.com/album/cold-city" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">craque.bandcamp.com/album/cold</span><span class="invisible">-city</span></a></p><p><a href="https://c.im/tags/craque" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>craque</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/BandcampFriday" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>BandcampFriday</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/ColdCity" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ColdCity</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/PutainDeBordelDeMerde" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>PutainDeBordelDeMerde</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/OriginalFilmScore" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>OriginalFilmScore</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/Soundtrack" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Soundtrack</span></a></p>

craque sprung 🏳️‍🌈<p>I promised some Ferrous sounds! I hope it works.</p><p>This is part of a patch I'm working for the third track. Layers of some looped figures with a deep synth ground drone holding up yawning higher pitched guitar tones coming from the Ferrous and through some delay. </p><p><a href="https://c.im/tags/craque" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>craque</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/ambient" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ambient</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/drone" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>drone</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/ElectroAcoustic" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ElectroAcoustic</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/EurorackModular" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>EurorackModular</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/ExperimentalMusic" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ExperimentalMusic</span></a></p>
craque sprung 🏳️‍🌈<p>Another sneak peek at album progress. This makes two so far! Going for six maybe?</p><p>I hear myself pulling roots up and rearranging them among the flowers of things I've learned over the past 30 years of creating songs.</p><p>I'm finding myself. Learning new things about my musical brain that I might have left behind. It feels strangely more professional, and everything is recorded from my studio of instruments.</p><p>Really like the direction I feel things taking me as I remove masks.</p><p>I can take the time to listen for myself.</p><p><a href="https://c.im/tags/craque" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>craque</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/electronica" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>electronica</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/breakbeat" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>breakbeat</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/dub" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>dub</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/idm" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>idm</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/modularsynth" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>modularsynth</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/eurorackmodular" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>eurorackmodular</span></a></p>
craque sprung 🏳️‍🌈<p>The Landscape Ferrous finally in my hands! I have not tried it extensively yet, but it is described as a "Spinning Magnetic Polyphonic String Resonator".</p><p>It has such a smooth feel. The wood case sits great in one hand. Here's a short demo of me turning it on and spinning it up with both the dial and the trigger button.</p><p>Landscape is hit and miss with me, sonically. For one, a majority of the sound profiles of the instruments are in an audio range that resembles (and aggravates) my tinnitus hyperacusis. So not my go-to. I like some of those sounds as ornaments, not whole instruments.</p><p>But this... is like an eBow on psychedelics. Even on an unpowered electric guitar I can hear the complexity of tones it brings. Really looking forward to playing more with this!!!</p><p><a href="https://c.im/tags/craque" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>craque</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/ExperimentalMusic" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ExperimentalMusic</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/LandscapeFM" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>LandscapeFM</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/Ferrous" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Ferrous</span></a></p>

craque sprung 🏳️‍🌈<p>I unpatched everything and now track #2 is underway. My process so far:</p><p>- Patch together something simple. Play, improvise, reach a repeatable result.<br>- Add another layer, same process.<br>- Do this 1-2 times again until it's something I like.<br>- Record. Edit. Improvise structures in Ableton. Take out what doesn't belong.<br>- Record voices, instruments, drums, and other non-synth gear.<br>- Edit. Modulate structures. Take out what doesn't belong.<br>- Wait.<br>- Repeat any step above as necessary.<br>- Arrange sounds into the sections with articulators of form.<br>- Mix, filter, and EQ.<br>- Save to 48k/24bit WAV<br>- Sit and wait for the next netlabel revolution.</p><p><a href="https://c.im/tags/craque" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>craque</span></a></p>
craque sprung 🏳️‍🌈<p>Tonight I spun a set for the first time in ... four years.</p><p>I haven't played in that long. I just said fuck the migraine, put in some loop earplugs, and went for it.</p><p>An hour later, I feel like I can't wait to do it again. Like riding a bicycle, steel wheels aturnin. I want to play at work someday soon.</p><p><a href="https://c.im/tags/craque" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>craque</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/VinylDJ" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>VinylDJ</span></a></p>
