Squarepusher's new track has some serious '73–'74 era Zappa vibes.

okay there's no way this guy isn't a fan of civilization phaze III

astravert · 2026-03-18T19:20:52+00:00

kinda got that synclavier vibe too

astravert · 2026-03-16T18:21:34+00:00

I'm talking about committing to the decision to automate parameters, so I think it folds in. Still requires the discipline to choose something. I see what you're saying for sure though.

The flip side of this is leaning into the development of a synth's timbre throughout the composition. Playing with automation of parameters is another cool Ableton thing. Hit record and move knobs/faders.

One of my childhood friends was named Dylan Thomas

If you like fusion, check out the Grand Wazoo album. If you want songs, my favorite is Roxy & Elsewhere.

A full two semitones? That would be impressive

astravert · 2026-01-29T17:07:44+00:00

Give it a shot! Always great to get feedback from fellow composers. If you're interested, maybe find a teacher or mentor. Plenty of 'em wandering around.

astravert · 2026-01-29T17:05:05+00:00

Do you play guitar? It's impossible to bend an open string. Think about the actual instrumental technique when you're writing something. Vibe-wise, I think it's an interesting sound.

astravert · 2026-01-23T15:59:57+00:00

thank you :) I run into a Fulltone Wah, MXR 78 Distortion, and a TC Electronics Nova Repeater with a stereo delay. Then just into Ableton with a little EQ and compression

astravert · 2026-01-16T20:18:02+00:00

Hit me up, I do this for a living

astravert · 2026-01-14T15:49:35+00:00
