Currently, I’m bursting with ideas for new music. Unfortunately, I can’t evolve them past their statuses as ideas.

I’m using Renoise for this, but I’m not registered, meaning I have no idea if these ideas will ever get rendered to WAVE files or not.
It’s affordable (50 euros is, I believe, much less than other hosts), but I have no way to pay for it. Now that I think about it, mail order can be an option, though I have no idea how I’d pull it off.
Also, Renoise’s pattern-based flow is apparently not for me. Sometimes I write ideas too long for its 512 row limitation, and sometimes I just want to improvise using pattern ideas and tweaking parameters in plug-ins. This probably means Ableton Live is more geared towards my style, but it’s much more expensive, and it doesn’t run too smoothly on my computer. Yes, I still have 256 megabytes of RAM.

Nevertheless, I have already finished three tracks in Renoise. One of them is seven minutes long, which is, I suppose, unusual for my standards. I’m using more reverb and delay effects than distortion, so the sound differs from my EP, though not by much, since it’s still me that tweaks those VST instruments and makes up new melodies and rhythms on the spot.
The first one I finished stems from my will to show people what ‘real’ industrial music sounds like. I didn’t listen to much, though, so that probably means I’m just a poser. It uses samples of a train departing and a banana frog, a granular percussion plug-in, and a TR-808/909-inspired drum plug-in. How that actually sounds is up to your imagination.
The second one is in 5/4. It’s not a novel time signature to me, because I worked with it when producing my unreleased Celldweller remix. Here I discovered the Ex commands in the volume column, and used them for some snare rushes.
The third one is the seven minutes-long one I mentioned before. It uses a filtered and reverberated piano SoundFont with lots of resonance, and samples Brad Sucks in a glitch-like sequence. I was running back and forth between my keyboard and the computer, because I got the idea for the piano melodies while playing on the keyboard. That made me think a bit about what it would’ve been like when assisted with MIDI.

As you can see, my new material is using samples. I’m only using samples that clarify they’re under a license I’m comfortable with, though, such as Creative Commons or Sampling Plus. This means I’ll have to change the license in some places because of the “Share Alike” clause in some cases, but right now I don’t think about it and just have fun sampling. Recently, I made a sketch that uses only looped samples from CIRC’s “ungugued”.
I also wonder how can I release the source files for this project – if I’ll ever get to.
