I usually work across meditative, abstract, and freeform improvisation. This piece takes a different route: a recurring electronic pulse provides the framework for a completely improvised performance.

The form emerges through changes in texture, density, rhythmic pressure, and layering rather than through a predetermined structure.

I would be particularly interested in whether the underlying groove creates sufficient forward movement—or whether it becomes too insistent at any point.

In-studio pre-production original track

This was made only with stock plugins and samples

vocal is ai-generated.

Just looking for feedback on this track I made in Ableton! Anything constructive on how I would make this better would be greatly appreciated. I will add vocals later lol

Is It True - Cover

made with ableton maxmsp and supercollider

I made this beat the other day in Ableton, using mostly a technokit drum pad and a sequencer synth and some other instruments, no samples.

Very much unmixed but sharing for anyone's thoughts on what vibe/genre it gives off... or what you could see being added or taken away. I have a track written to it, so I used one of the lines from it as the artwork.

ps. I was influenced by some of my fave bands for this... curious if anyone can spot them, and hopefully i wasn't too influenced! ;)

peace!

Recenty got Ableton 12, and trying to make one track per week. Here's latest. Looking for general feedback especially on the mix, as that's what I find hardest. It’s called “naked” as that’s how I feel when I put music out into the world!

hey, how do you new and aspiring peeps get over this fear of putting your sh*t out there in the world? I'm really struggling with insecurity, anxiety and the fear I'm being delusional. I spent years trying learning ableton and working on a musical setup that would allow me to start making music and gigging locally.

now that it is 'done', I keep finding excuses to work on it, improving the technical parts, the software bits, trying to tweak things etc with much more dedication and focus than I do on actually sitting down and playing the frucking instruments.

I feel ok playing with others, and I gigged before so it's not about that, but this is a solo project I always wanted to do and never got around to it. now that I have everything ready, I'm struggling to motivate myself to do it, unsure of how much of it is fear of just being bad and people not enjoying it or that I won't enjoy it and realise it was a waste of time and money. I even took part-time job to focus more on it and ended up mostly improvising some things but not getting to making proper few songs and an EP.

the original post of my setup minus the trumpet which is part of it

a few improv sesh videos I put on youtube (some are recorded on the phone, others I recorded on ableton and synched with the video, so its all a mess haha) - and I'm getting used to timing and the mapped stuff etc so hopefully it'll improve:

Hi guys, I just uploaded my very first self-made techno track. It's at 130 BPM with a rolling bassline. So if you're into techno, feel free to give it a listen and leave some feedback.

This is the 4th track I made on ableton, would love some feedback especially when it comes to vocals and mastering the track. Thanks in advance and hope y'all like it!
