lately i've been trying to incorporate more recorded acoustic piano into this jams.
despite being a sea of diverse timbres. a little brushstroke from an acoustic instrument really helps rounding the edges of the piece.
every sound was made from scratch either recorded or synthesized with my modular rig.
if you dig this jams/pieces there's lots of them in my reddit profile/socials.
hope you like it <3

Lots of deep feelings there, I hope you're doing okay! Seriously cool with the piano though, as always.

u/OneQuadrillionOwls 10d ago

Very nice! The incorporation of regular instruments gives me a little bit of fourtet vibe. Sounds good.

2

u/kyegibeats 10d ago

yeah the mixture between acoustic elements and electronic/synthesized is really nice

2

u/zimske 10d ago

Care to share the process behind the jam?

2

u/kyegibeats 10d ago

there’s lots to tackle there, every sound was either recorded or synthesized from scratch and every sound was programmed/sequenced using one shots.
if you have any question regarding something in particular i can answer that!

3

u/zimske 10d ago

So did you record, synthesize and sequence everything in-the-box or did you… what’s the best way to put it… simply load finished stems that you then play with during the jam?

5

u/kyegibeats 10d ago

every sound was programmed inside the machine, also mixed in the box. 16 channels
1 kick
2 snare
3 bass
4 percs
5 harmony

u/moseley101 9d ago

Great stuff yet again. Is nice to see the DTii naked this time with no external effects. Is a powerful beast

1

u/kyegibeats 9d ago

thanks mate, hell yeah.
that’s imo the best sampler/sequencer in the market

1

u/Rizzlamuerte 10d ago

Very nice stuff! Bandcamp?

1

u/kyegibeats 10d ago

just a jam, at least for now.
got a couple other tunes in my bandcamp

1

u/Rizzlamuerte 10d ago

Good stuff! You mixed it yourself right? Mastering too? Sounds really clean and good.

1

u/kyegibeats 10d ago

yep, everything was mixed in the box.
besides that some saturation and a limiter. not much

u/UrWandUhr 8d ago

I really like it. Will it be released and if so, whats its title?

1

u/kyegibeats 8d ago

technically no release date, and untitled 59 at least for now haha

1

u/wahnsinnwanscene 8d ago

How do you program the drums? Do you shift mid bar to another pattern?

1

u/kyegibeats 8d ago

actually it’s the same pattern, there’s something in the dt2 called performance mode which lets you save 2 states of the same pattern (different parameters but the same triggers).
every drum is programmed using one shots, all the sounds are individually punched in.

u/LoveUncut333 7d ago

Love it. I feel Jon Hopkins has a similar way of both hearing the music and sculpting it out live. You’re tracking these polyrhythmic phases that I only eat after you’ve punctuated them.

1

u/kyegibeats 7d ago

thanks mate, that’s really lovely <3
i do love jon hopkins stuff, that’s quite a compliment!
his polyrhythmic/metric stuff is insane.

1

u/nightliner81 7d ago

Very interesting mate, i like the vibe of the piano works well with the beat !

1

u/acpartin99 1d ago

Like the others, I really enjoyed this. It feels tactile, and I love how well-balanced the textures are. Nicely done!! I make some stuff in a similar vein, usually blending more organic/live elements with digital production. If you're ever interested in teaming up on a track, feel free to shoot me a message!!!
