Week 06 – Rock to the Rhythm

Drumcode, Tobacco Docks London, October 26 2019

Following on from last week, a second techno track. To my ears this track sits better in the genre. 

I experimented a lot and found a pretty novel technique for making the rumbling bassline, and hopefully have arrived at a stronger foundation for the track. 

I also used significantly fewer different parts in this track than I normally would; this is, after all, a minimal genre. 

This is also the first track I’ve created from start to finish within the week. That’s not the rule; I sure allow myself to finish work that I’ve started before hand (especially because I have too many tracks lying fallow and in need of a final push). But it was informative to create in this way, with all the pressure it created. It had to make decisions faster, and was less prone to agonising over decisions that few people will ever actually notice (possibly including me, if I listen to the track in a few months’ time).
