https://youtu.be/Z50kG2a47qM I recorded this in Ableton Live 9 using a 32-bit plugin called Random Wave and some M4L LFOs. I bounced it to two audio tracks and converted this to 64-bit. Then, in Live 11, stretched it about 35% longer than it had originally been and added fades, and finally mixed with Live’s Hybrid Reverb and Echo devices in varying degrees.

The title comes from my notes in Feb 2019.

Jimmy Lem recorded this on 01 Feb 2019 for Blissville Electro-Magnetic Laboratories & Blister Pop Unlimited & about two months prior to Day 1 of the 100 Day Project.

https://youtu.be/0oSfxWCrlzY I recorded this about a year ago while exploring my Neutron semi-modular. I also used a Korg SQ1 sequencer, as well as Ableton Live.

I derived the title from the name of the starting preset I used in the photo, as well as other photos, which may become part of a finished album package.

https://youtu.be/Mr32PGBbs8Y I used a Zoom H6 to record my voice, drums and appliances in various ambiences around my living space. I then used Ableton Live to edit and stretch the material into two tracks, one mono and one stereo.

The title is derived from something I wrote in May 2019.

Two different mixes existed for this. Both were completed on the day of recording. This version presents a combination of both.

https://youtu.be/4yhF0q_gCgc This one used mainly Ableton Live or Max4Live devices, including two arpeggiators. The sound generation was from a Live instrument made by Brian Funk called Snapple Can Pad. The midi used here was from another generative session I did earlier with a piano sound and for this, I ran the midi track through all sorts of modulated Live midi devices.

The title comes from a note I wrote myself either in October or November of this year.

Jimmy Lem recorded this on 26 Nov 2022 for Blissville Electro-Magnetic Laboratories & Blister Pop Unlimited.

The title comes from a note I wrote myself on 31 May 2019. I grow chives every year. I like them in scrambled eggs with some black pepper and porcini salt.

https://youtu.be/w1QC6sqN4Xo This was done on Eurorack system that includes a Braids clone and a Neutron semi-modular system, a Zoom MS-70CDR. This was recorded into Ableton Live 11 and used some effects there as well. There’s a bit of a gap in the recording when I was changing the main audio out cables and I kept “tape” rolling.

This was recorded on 09 Nov 2022 by Jimmy Lem for Blissville Electro-Magnetic Laboratories & Blister Pop Unlimited.
