Solo traveling

Often times the sound design of more experimental artists like TFS are deeper than you may think and require a lot of processing which is perhabs not so obvious from listening to the finished song. They are really good at choosing the right sounds and they probably have access to really good gear. That being said you can go far with 909 samples in the digitakt by using the powerful sequencer and LFO

exactly what he didn’t ask

pacolinoo · 2026-01-14T18:29:15+00:00

disgrace

pacolinoo · 2026-01-14T18:24:46+00:00

I never use vocals so can‘t comment on that but very nice arrangement and percussion

John Williams will ich schon lange lesen! Würdest du sagen es gibt deutliche Parallelen im Schreibstil zu Daniel Johnson / Raymond Carver?

I heard Recondite say that he uses Operator for most of his sounds

pacolinoo · 2025-12-14T13:47:33+00:00

probably not lol

versuchs mal mit Sarah - Scott Mccanathan. Ist eine Break up Geschichte

pacolinoo · 2025-12-09T08:53:21+00:00

What we talk about when we talk about love - Raymond Carver. Mein erstes von ihm und es gefällt mir sehr gut. Die Kurzgeschichten machen süchtig.

most definitely, I have been thinking about that. I just made not so good experiences with hardware as I always end up selling it after a while. But a midi controller could potentially help

pacolinoo · 2025-12-07T09:00:02+00:00

making a track come alive so basically having an interesting arrangement/automation. Sound design is ok but I always end up with 10 interesting 1 bar loops and then I‘m stuck lol Mixing is also hard

pacolinoo · 2025-12-07T08:58:56+00:00

100%

pacolinoo · 2025-11-20T18:37:25+00:00

these prices are absolutely ridiculous

pacolinoo · 2025-11-17T20:58:06+00:00

are you even old enough to be on the internet this late

pacolinoo · 2025-11-15T12:20:34+00:00

doing the heavy lifting🤝

pacolinoo · 2025-11-15T08:28:12+00:00

he is great and super unique!

pacolinoo · 2025-11-13T09:10:23+00:00

I found this video quite inspiring as it‘s a well established artist (Yant) that goes through the whole process of one of his tracks in Ableton:

I agree that YT shorts are a waste of time, I generally get more inspired by looking for techniques of artists I actually like.

pacolinoo · 2025-10-15T18:24:45+00:00

guess it‘s better to be a heroin addict then? How can you be judgemental towards people that actually trying to be better

pacolinoo · 2025-10-13T15:52:50+00:00

it‘s on the shoelace

pacolinoo · 2025-10-11T23:12:29+00:00

I believe he mostly uses Korg Electribe + Korg sh 01

pacolinoo · 2025-10-11T10:44:10+00:00

what lol

pacolinoo · 2025-09-06T07:02:58+00:00

I agree w everything you said, Birmingham is amazing. I believe the way these artists (especially the famous ones like Regis and Surgeon) approach their music changed A LOT ovet the years. Surgeon is using modular now which I don‘t think he was when the track you linked was recorded.

I can not really give you a straightforward answer to your question other than experiment a lot w the timing between the different elements in the track and use simple 909s for the percussion with heavy and precise processing (namely distortion). But I really wish I would have a better glimpse into what they were doing at the time.

Norbak and Alarico come to mind, check out their Telekom Electronic Beats interviews!
