CreativePact (34 posts)

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

Soundboard Record epilogue

06/09/16

Last week the curtain closed on what ranks as one of my best CreativePacts, and, you know, by the end of the first week I had proved to myself that this method of creative generation was the way to go. The Pact was already a success.

Listening back to everything now I'm excited to create something out of this material, but I know further progress may be delayed until post-house-move. The plan is, once moved in and set up in a more spacious studio, to continue until the end of the year the creation process laid down in the Pact.

By that point I hope to have enough material to base a decently substantial ‑otron release on. I'll also evaluate what I have for live performance possibilities.

As for the other ideas I had for this Pact, hell if I'm waiting 12 months to get Pacting again. Already underway is a new documentation website for my Pacts, which is being adapted structurally to allow for more than one Pact a year and (shock!) the possibility for other types of Pact.

What types might those be? You'll see. Maybe.
