I erased all my music and started over.
Added 2024-01-26 18:57:01 +0000 UTCI felt like I needed to start over, returning to the mindset I had when I first got into electronic music. At the beginning of this journey, everything was shrouded in the fog of war. I didn’t really have any clue where I was going or what to do; I just knew what a good sound sounded like. Now, after years of repetition and exploration, I have learned obscure genres like rumble techno, melodic tech-house, and minimal techno. I am ready to return home to the beginning. Back to the 3 pieces of equipment rule, back to sampling my guitar and voice more, and back to exploring sounds and lots of sampling. I have erased all my projects from my machines and gathered a new sample library of percussion one-shots for my Digitakt, and I am already off to the races. I feel unburdened and excited again to try and write the best music I can with less gear complicating my journey.
What are your thoughts?
Best,
Matt

2024-02-08 03:20:47 +0000 UTCI was just thinking this recently. I was taking a brief break from all my hardware in general... and then I began to think, "what if I only did 'trios' of gear?" Sometimes I force making these crazy elaborate MIDI setups with tons of gear and FX but if I can pare it down to 1 rhythm, 1 melody and 1FX with 1 common sequencer, maybe I would be more focused and generate a lot faster and freer. I could then break up the other gear in to similar trios and the variations would give me new approaches to try.
