I figured there would be a music of the ppcb thread somewhere.

After starting a family, a career change, the early years of the pandemic, I finally got a group together again.

We recorded drums in July. We paused because I had a knee surgery, but we’re getting there. Here’s a rough mix of an instrumental track.

I've been working on a solo project for about a year now. I recorded five songs in the spring of 2023 that I've been sitting on because I wasn't happy with my drumming. I was having trouble sustaining the tempo. So I wrote a few more songs that were about 20bpm slower. This is where the instruments are at on one of the tracks.

The signal chain is 80% DIY. Tele into a Dingo hard-panned right, Brown Betty hard-panned left, baritone through the pro-10 blue side, bass through the Brown Betty. Everthing into Aion's EM5 clone, gravitation reverb, into pcbguitarmania's surprisingly great Sunn Beta clone with a unicab following.

I'm hoping my wife will do some vocals (so I don't have to).

I’m going out on a limp here and say you like the flaming lips and the cramps?

I’m going out on a limp here and say you like the flaming lips and the cramps?

I do like the flaming lips, but kind of casually. I was really off-put for a while by a concert where the singer was sharp the whole time. But later I realized that could happen to anyone if the person working monitors sucks.

Can’t say I listened to The Cramps much, but I checked some out and am digging it- will be listening to more. It sounds like they influenced some bands I dig.

When I was younger, Skin Graft Records left a big impression on me.

It was the closest thing I could think of, you have that neo-psychedelic, avant-garde alt-rock thing kind of going on for lack of better terms.

 

[jcpst]

This is where the instruments are at on one of the tracks.

I’m digging it. And I don’t mean in that “hey dude that’s cool but I’m just complimenting you so that you feel obligated to listen to my stuff and give me an empty compliment.” thing that people do on the internet

I just mean that I like it!

I’m into that instrumental slow build. Cloudkicker, Sadness, Set and Setting, Gangs, mtcrss…

Those sound like the right terms to me. I think the bands I dig are always more chaotic than what I write. I listen to a crapload of death metal but it doesn’t quite show.

Thanks for introducing me to the cramps!

I feel you there. What I play and what I listen to are kind of worlds apart. One of my favorite bands is Allegaeon (tech death I guess) if you never listened to them check out extremophiles (a) that was the song that really hit for me.

I have a really eclectic taste in music and my style of stuff I record reflects that.

Last few years I have been a part of music project/jam group that some friends and I started. I don't really know how to explain what the style is really. We pretty much do whatever we want, but it is typically energetic, synth heavy, melodic and takes a lot of influence from modern Hip-hop for the drums and beats.

I suppose you could call it a type of electronic music even though we incorporate electric guitars and acoustic instruments frequently, but mostly we are just having a ton of fun.

any ways here is my Soundcloud that has my most recent recordings.

Thanks! I spent most of my 20s trying my absolute hardest to play my guitar as if I were in portraits of past. I mostly listen to metal now but the years of 90s emo left an impression on my playing - slow build into something fast. Incapable of writing a song under 5 minutes long.

I was going to ask - the track you posted. Was that a reverse delay on the guitar or did you just reverse the entire guitar track? I was into it.

I did two overdubbed solos a la Tony Iommi and then reversed the whole takes.

Horrible phone recordings; as I said before, I don't have any recording device except my cassette multitrack. Anyway...

1min sample. A collaboration between Japan, New Zealand, Italy and America. Why pay for pre-made industrial ambient when you can do it yourself rather effordlessly? A tiny synth (loaded with a Mutable Instruments wavetable) goes into a triple delay with a noisy / wobbly vinyl effect in its effects loop, to create a multi-layered, pseudo-generative drone. Reverb and granular microloops are then added to the background to turn this mono signal into a lush atmospheric blanket, ready to be enjoyed in the dark.

30sec sample. Some fun with my semi-modular that has an integrated pedal effects loop (here with a Lastgasp Toxic Plant). I prefer this style more, in that I seek to grasp the sound of extraterrestial machinery. But setting it up takes a bit too long for my taste. And yes, I love my water projector while making music. It's dark and moody, but light enough to work the controls (though I wish I could make the motor turn slower). The Mood MK2's ability to take any mono sound and turn it into spendid ambient, made sure it's almost always on my desk.

If only my lapsteel skills were up there with my electronics, I'd share that. As that has more common with the board's theme. I am 41, started playing about 2 year ago... Without any previous guitar experience. It's.... tough. Online lessons only, because it's not something you'd easily find a local teacher of here in the Netherlands.

Very cool vid! I dig the whole vibe. I love semi-modular designs, added complexity yes, but possibilities become endless. I have been lusting after that Cascadia since it came out, but even though they are not bonkers pricy, it's still a chunk of change for one. I love how you've implemented it in your examples.

I think a lot of people with modular and semi-modular try to force their ideas and will onto the synth and when it doesn't come out how they expect they get frustrated and decide they don't like it, but it seems like you understand how organically work with the device and be its guide as it does it thing. Is that a little Korg SQ-1 sequencer in the upper left?

here is a vid I did for this interesting patch I did using a bunch of modular stuff

 

[owlexifry]

in previous build reports i've probably alluded to involvement in a band that i've been fortunate enough to use some of my builds with, at least in the live setting.
saw this thread, so i thought i might just share something that I'm certainly more proud of than any build i've done.

last week we released a new song with a music video.

and then to top it off, a while back we got an offer for a local support slot (this Sunday) on Bleeding Through's Australian tour.
can't wait to play \m/

My favorite Marley song

 

[Fama]

hot off the presses (well, technically not out of the press yet)

A "pop" project I have with a friend, neither of us really like chart pop so it's a fun exercise to do something somewhere in the ballpark (or not?) and see what happens. Lyrics in Finnish, sorry.

Only DIY pedal here is the Black Mystic in the most cookie cutter guitar solo you will hear tomorrow (and maybe the Clandestine Preamp too).

Edit: My friend did the vocals and bass, I did everything else.

 

[vigilante398]

I think I've shared this one before, but I'm making another shameless plug because my band is playing the Cubby Bear in Chicago on saturday night 9/21 and you should all come. Doors at 8:30, music starts at 9, we go on at 10.

It's a bit of a drive. Now if it was 29 minutes instead of hours......

I know this is a month down, but I hope you finish this song. Even instrumental, it's pretty great (and I agree on the pcbgm Sunn Beta)

I think the drumming was one of the most interesting parts of the song.

Definitely hear the metal x shoegaze connection, and I think I like it

I think I'd posted this before but this is a clip recorded on my phone of the gear I moved out to California and recorded while waiting for the other furniture to show up. This is an oddball combo of a Traynor TS-25 with a WGS speaker and a hollowbody Harmony copy of a Gretsch Cats-Eye. To my knowledge the model was never actually made and the ex-president of the company gave it to me to finish. The Chinese company that made it typo'd the logo to "Hamony". Killer little guitar. Counter to building pedals this is the guitar and a cord and the amp. Go figure...
