April 23, 2024 (Elektron Octatrack mk2) (sequencing & sampling with Ableton Live)

a late night improvisation featuring 4 versions of the same piano sample on Octatrack's tracks 1-4. Each layer focuses on a different segment of the same 30-second sample, and each one has various amounts of bit crushing and filtering applied. I'm using the crossfader to mix between tracks 1&2 and 3&4, fading them in over time. The MIDI tracks are triggering random C Minor chords in Ableton Live, which play the Native Instruments Noire piano and the Slate & Ash Landforms string library. All of this was recorded and mixed in Ableton Live. No post-processing aside from volume normalization.
