The other positive feedback was from another electronic musician, TL who says I do better on Downtempo tunes, which I completely agree with, I think I need more help, and more input/feedback from outside to create quality four-to-the-floor music, than in the case of slower, head-nodding hip-hop like tunes. He wrote: “Recently uploaded “test83” is good. By the way – but of course I can’t be objective enough – I think that from quality and good ideas point of view, 90% of your triphop/downbeat themes rule, 10% are average, while in case of electro, it’s rather the opposite. Of course this is hobby, do what you like, but what you do with sample based downbeat things are much more interesting. These have solid, ready to play basic grooves. I think a little producer and song composer vein needs to be added,  to work these songs into something like Yonderboi songs. Supposing you consider comparison to Yonderboi a compliment… ”

Breaking: good news is that after December, I’m also going to try in July to put together a band with live drums, live bass and myself, and see what happens. I have a band-dream, which I would really like to get close to but do something similar only that in the end, turns out to be even better

So… I have gained some enthusiasm because of #68 and I have decided to split up and scrumble samples from now on. Up to now I’ve been using external software for this purpose, but in the future, I am planning to use Ableton’s own features to slice samples into 8, 16 or 32 pieces. Today I’ve tried to slice up a violin sample manually into non-equal 30 pieces and see how it feels trying to produce a new melody by playing it back as a different sequence.
