To celebrate #404Day 2022 I recorded & filmed a Roland SP-404MKII finger drum live set on the couch in my studio room. No pattern sequences. No quantize. Just samples on pads being triggered...

This recording is available for streaming:
‣ Bandcamp: [ Ссылка ]
‣ Spotify: [ Ссылка ]
(if I had had my ish together then it'd be more places...coming soon...)

Setlist:
0:00 Offcut Five
1:35 Acetate
2:40 Serpentine
4:39 Offcut Three
6:19 Butter Egg Fry
7:25 Blue Haze

I started working on this a few months ago, funnily enough the only jam that was on the original list was Butter Egg Fry, I tried out n bailed on 11 beats. Each beat I wrote out on paper like a jazz chart with how I wanted to arrange the samples n fx...aaaaand after all that practice I'd say got about 78% how I planned it - there's a few things in this recorded which are just...what happened...those "accidents" are what makes this recording interesting to me now when I hear it back.

I had a lot of fun figuring out how to incorporate Pad Link, Mute Groups, when to loop samples vs using them as one shots and how the hell I was going to reach those fx buttons while staying in time...if y'all interested on my layout, setup n tricks I figured out in putting together this beat set let me know in the comments, I can make a video breaking that stuff down if there's a call for it.

Part of my mastering chain to tie it all together was to resample the whole set to the SP-303 (at the Long 22kHz sample rate) then bounce that to a Type IV cassette.

Hopefully this zombie apocalypse thing will soon subside n I'll be able to get back out there n do this on front of people again!

"Offcut Three" & "Offcut Five" are from my beat tape "CHOPSMITH OFFCUTS". "Acetate" is from my "DILAPIDATED TAPE" EP. "Serpentine" is from my "WATCHED POTS NEVER BOIL III" EP. All of these are out everywhere you earhole y'earprotein on the interwebs.
