#noisevember / #novembeat Day 4Finished this orchestration section after adding brass and percussion and adjusting the arrangement and dynamics. Not perfect but I'm really happy how it turned out, specially being my first serious orchestration piece.

#noisevember / #novembeat Day 5Playing around with layered trigs on the Digitone and got this little groove going. Added a bit of Minibrute and later a kick + sidechain with Bitwig.Got a few clicks when recording the Digitone unfortunately... I'll have to re-record it if I want to work on it a bit longer (Or maybe add some vynil noise for that lofi sound?).

#noisevember / #novembeat Day 6We had some friends over so I'm a bit starved for time, but managed to sketch out a trip-hop beat on the Polyend tracker and do (very) light mixing on the DAW.

#noisevember / #novembeat Day 7Playing around with arpeggiators to try to make a nice groove. I'm quite tired and not super happy with the mix, but I think this piece has potential so I'll probably work on it some more at a later date.Seems we still have some server issues and I couldn't upload the audio on mastodon, so here is an unlisted video on YT. Will probably upload an audio version later once these problems are resolved.https://youtu.be/gRzhqLNnyf0

#noisevember / #novembeat Day 8Worked on yesterday's synthwave piece a bit more, this is close to a final arrangement. I'd say I'm quite happy with it, though maybe there is a lot going on in some sections. Probably will polish and master this one for final release.

#noisevember / #novembeat Day 9Had very little time today, but I felt like playing the bass, so here is a bass riff and some basic drums. I'll add some guitars tomorrow and see how it evolves.

#noisevember / #novembeat Day 10Added some guitars, I'm clearly out of practice in both playing and mixing guitars so it's a bit of a crapshoot. Oh well maybe I'll revisit this in the future.

#noisevember / #novembeat Day 11Playing with some euclidean rhythms to make a low-fi beat. I'm testing @audiothing FilterJam on Linux using #Bitwig to give it some extra modulation. I think I dropped it in pretty much all tracks, sounds really nice, specially with a bit extra reverb!

#noisevember / #novembeat Day 12Went on a hike today and had just ~1h for music making so I went ahead and started arranging and bouncing the stems of the first song I made on the Digitone a while back. The different patterns had mismatched volumes (ARGH!) so its a bit of a mess and the kick sucks, but I like the concept I came out with. Sorry for the bad quality!I separated all patterns and will work on properly mixing it in the following days.

#noisevember / #novembeat Day 13-14Yesterday I was too tired to post anything... Here is an update on Saturday's song. I feel its way too busy and I'm using way too much reverb but I like the maximalist approach for this one. Will probably have to work on the mixdown a bit more if I want to release it, but for now here is the result.

#noisevember / #novembeat Day 19Worked a bit more on the previous mix and tried to make it more clear and a bit more varied. Ultimately I'm still not in love with this piece, but I would call it mostly done, which is to say I don't really feel like working on it anymore lol.

#noisevember / #novembeat Day 21A chill tune I started some time ago and I decided to finally dump and arrange. All sounds come from the Digitone, with slight EQ/compression via #bitwig.Not yet done, I'd like to add some more instruments and transitions, but I like the simple song structure on this one.

#noisevember / #novembeat Day 24Been playing with a bunch of microbrute sounds I made on a sound design session yesterday. I'm working on a sort of progressive piece. Here is a peek of the verse, heavily WIP.

#noisevember / #novembeat Day 25Very excited to share this one! This is by far the most ambitious track I've worked recently, a electronic-cinematic soundscape full of drama.I think it could use a small mixing revision, but I think its sounding pretty good already.Feedback appreciated!https://youtu.be/JV66Nm1t-aY

#noisevember / #novembeat Day 28A quick 30min sketch, a bit boring, but the goal for this one was to experiment with multiple layers of ambience coming from a few of my voice samples. Very rough for now but with a bit of work it could become something.

#noisevember / #novembeat Day 29Getting close to the finish line. Can feel the fatigue creeping in, so today I bounce a few ideas I programmed on the Polyend Tracker and arranged some Amen chops with weird little groovy noises. Will use this drum loop in the future for some ambient dnb I think.

#noisevember / #novembeat Day 30Something chill and synthwavy to finish the month. This was a very nice challenge and I'm glad I stick to it until the end. It gave me a lot more confidence and unlocked me from the creative block I was in. I may not have been happy with all I've made, but I put in the work everyday and had a lot of fun.Now that I don't have to try to produce something everyday I'll try to stick to my routine and finalize some of the ideas created throughout the month.
