CreativePact (34 posts)

Taking material generation to a more granular level, I will spend this CreativePact building a sampling-centred soundboard in Ableton Live.

File this one under "nice experiment" (#niceexperiment). This is the first session in this Pact where I struggled to construct a cohesive sound, due in part to directionlessness and in part to unsuitable start material. What I have created, though, could be the basis of an interesting effect later down the road.

It started out with a sample from Sweet Thunder's Tape Findings series called 'People rental' (yeah, it does sound real dodgy). After whamming it in Simpler in Split mode I then copied the Velocity and Arpeggiator MIDI instruments from Koto clock to drive it. Top that off with some triggered filter action and delay effects and you have PeopleRental.

I don't see using this in the end (and actually I feel the same about Koto clock), but trying out wacky processes and seeing if they work certainly has a place in creativity and CreativePact.
