Re: Okta - ILF collaborative ambient/drone project
Just recorded my first clip. Pretty simple drone made by mangling some samples in my eurorack. Going to record a few more before I start uploading, though.
I'm hoping to go for a hike this weekend with my H5 and Soma Ether

Re: Okta - ILF collaborative ambient/drone project
Recorded a new glitchy ambient jam yesterday. I musts say that this thing is pushing me towards more focused ideas instead of random knobs tweaking, and I am really enjoying it, so thanks for that guys.

Re: Okta - ILF collaborative ambient/drone project
Finally had some time to start making some sounds. Yay!
Question for participants: we're gonna have a fair bunch of source material. When we get to the mix/assemble phase, what do people think would be more fun? Should it just be an open library and you can fiddle with other people's sounds as you see fit? Ot would it make sense that some submissions get "assigned" exclusively to other people? (And should that be through a random draw? Something else?)
In my mind it would have originally worked like that: some of the submissions are given to specific people for their use only, some would be available to all. But I'm very open to other opinions here.

Re: Okta - ILF collaborative ambient/drone project
Ideally there should be enough source material that people can use/do what they wish with it (or not) and make the creative decisions on their own. Personally I would like to have access to everything but I'm open to whatever the collective wishes. Either way it would be cool in the end to see where it goes and what people do.Heraclitus Akimbo wrote:Finally had some time to start making some sounds. Yay!

Personally, I like the idea of an open library and would prefer to have access to it all as well, but I do see why some might prefer "assigned" submissions.Heraclitus Akimbo wrote:Finally had some time to start making some sounds. Yay!

One thing I've noticed is that a lot of the submissions already have a lot going on. It might be nice to "assign" the more "complete" submissions and leave some of the more "simple" submissions as open use. However, this is all incredibly subjective (hence all the " " ) and I wouldn't want anyone to take offense to what might be considered "complete" or "simple"
