I erased all my music and started over. (Patreon)

I felt like I needed to start over, returning to the mindset I had when I first got into electronic music. At the beginning of this journey, everything was shrouded in the fog of war. I didn’t really have any clue where I was going or what to do; I just knew what a good sound sounded like. Now, after years of repetition and exploration, I have learned obscure genres like rumble techno, melodic tech-house, and minimal techno. I am ready to return home to the beginning. Back to the 3 pieces of equipment rule, back to sampling my guitar and voice more, and back to exploring sounds and lots of sampling. I have erased all my projects from my machines and gathered a new sample library of percussion one-shots for my Digitakt, and I am already off to the races. I feel unburdened and excited again to try and write the best music I can with less gear complicating my journey.

What are your thoughts?

Best,

Matt

Title is total click bait (in a good way tho!). Love this idea and can't wait to watch the stream.

ezbot

Couldn’t agree more, thanks for weighing in Jon!

I thought maybe it was April 1st. Strangely though I’ve had a similar evolution focusing on guitar grooves and getting my harmony and improv chops up to spec.

I know from experience that is an exciting feeling. Call me crazy, but I delete just about everything every year. I have that same type of excitement right now, having recently built my first modular setup, and switching to Bitwig after 20+ years in Ableton. Everything feels super fresh and it has been very inspiring musically. Good luck. This shit is supposed to be fun, right?!

ezbot

It’s true though! Haha

I did the same thing: tore it all down and wiped all the projects for Weekly Beats 2024. 3 gear rule, usually swap 1 thing out per week. I'm digging it!

Ruud Kwakkel

Understand the idea behind it. I have skimmed down to a rytm, an analog 4 and an octatrack. A year ago I build a eurorack case and last week I upgraded to a 16u 142hp case. After every session I take out the complete patch. Everyday I start fresh, and the rytm and analog 4 have been delegated to kick drum and high head duty for ages now, nothing complicated there. Octatrack still my most beloved piece of gear and centerpiece

Go you! Looking forward to hearing what comes out next from your creative brain!

I was just thinking this recently. I was taking a brief break from all my hardware in general... and then I began to think, "what if I only did 'trios' of gear?" Sometimes I force making these crazy elaborate MIDI setups with tons of gear and FX but if I can pare it down to 1 rhythm, 1 melody and 1FX with 1 common sequencer, maybe I would be more focused and generate a lot faster and freer. I could then break up the other gear in to similar trios and the variations would give me new approaches to try.

I like where your heads at, I hope you can report back your experience once you finish your quest!
