____________________________________________________________________________
Dub/Techno ambient live session recording.
Demo version/preview of soon to be released EP, self titled Abyss, under moniker Errant.
Under heavy fascination and influences of Rhythm and Sound Berlin label, as well as first LP of YAGYA, Rhythm of Snow.
100% live performance, no edits, corrections or any post processing, raw demo/recording.
All sounds came out from synthesizers and drum machines explained in details below.

Production details:
Kick and bass - Elektron Model Cycles,
I also used Cycles for creating modulating white noise, as well as a drone, with LFO set to slowly change the intervals in one chord, which creates a very mesmerizing and relaxing effect.
Roland Juno 06a - 2 different sounding stabs were sampled on Maschine/NI, and later on sequenced with it. One more lead/line was performed on Juno live.
Another less dominant bass line was created on model D, and it's hidden in the mix but supports the main bass with the 'response', adding an interesting layer of low end.
Noise.
As the genre's fundamental sound, apart from LFO'd Elektron Cycles, I used several layers of different types of noises, heavily modulated and processed with reverb/shimmers, room/verb generators and delays. I sampled Juno's noisy Chorus and used bit reduction and saturation to get very random and interestingly sounding types of noise (multi sampled and sequenced from Maschine).
One particular VST, I used only to create on separate tracks heavy crackles and random noises like radio from 50's, on top of it bit reduction/saturation/distortion and fed it into rezonator tuned in with the fundamental of the music.
Very random peaks and noises were hitting rezonator and creating a 'vocodized' type of chord, which really add life to the entire song.
Drone.
Model Cycles can do drones like no other instrument I have. You need to set the chord for infinite decay, and add as many modulations as you want, using LFO as well as 'live recording' mode, and a lot of reverb with a delay.
The idea of a drone in music is similar to the sound of noise...it gives your brain a certain trans/hypnotic vibe, which in contrast with heavy kick and bass creates very deep sound.
Pads.
There are plenty techniques to create lush, deep and beautifully modulated pads, and I used many of them all together to create pads here. Several VST instruments were multi-layered and combined together with heavy processing (filter, reverb, delay, tons of modulations) and finally sampled into the Maschine.
After that, I played entire part live during performance using multisampled pads, with more reverb/shimmer and delay.
it's very first time, since I started this channel and making music, that I do not record everything just off my synthesizers, and I spent a lot of time to create the pads and a lot of time to create several layers of noises. So this was a bit of production work, using laptop and Maschine.
To be able to be super creative, VST instruments and automation and more complicated modulations are much easier and faster to be done this way, besides most of my synthesizers are monophonic, except Juno, being 4 voices only, so not so much polyphony in my hardware, therefore supporting myself with some esoteric and exotic software synthesizers was a necessity.
...it is also very unusual for me to not use Roland TR8 drum machine, as this is my fav instrument, but.... in this particular case, when the drums is only a deep 808, Elektron Cycles gives me much more option to create the kick I want.

Finally an LP was released in August 2024, titled Abyss under moniker Errant.
Album is a combination of Dub Techno, Ambient, Minimal Electronic music.
Lots of noise, crackles, and ambient sounds were put together, tied up with heavy dub bass and 808/909 kicks.
You can find examples of original recordings like Abyss, Lost of Time od above Eclipse which are all futured on album, just edited and sound-polished more.
All live recordings were edited, mixed and properly mastered.

Probably maybe your greatest track ever!
Agree 👍.it's my best so far, but disagree greatest ever!... new ones will be coming soon, and I'm sure I won't disappoint!; and hopefully an album before the summer!
@@tresporros Yes, the previous tracks got the 'boogie' also, but in this case the sound design and the whole sound is on another level. I'm listening this on my 'big' system (magneplanar 2.7 with musical fidelity pre/power + REL S3 SHO sub) and my body/ear/brain is melting by how good it sounds. BigUP!
@@berakdata really appreciate your positive feedback!, I consider this one and Lost Time, the only ones I am almost fully happy with:) Now this work is a bit different then my previous, as I used a laptop/Maschine a lot to create things my hardware synthesizers can't do. I mean those super lush sounding pads which been created prior to the song. I had an idea in my head, and it required using pads and modulated noise. I made those entirely inside the Maschine vst plugins. Sampled the pads (I think I used 7 multilayers of different synthesizers all together) and opened the project adding several layers of noise. I am happy, as this is ca 90% of that sound I have in my head, creating contrast with deep bass/kick aka Rhythm&Sound and go crazy with level and multilayers of the noise. I also sampled Juno's 06 chorus noise and used that in the song. The technical problem was not being able to multitrack it at this moment, so I recorded it 100% live into the stereo downmix.....trying now to re-record everything again with some corrections I think are necessary (level-wise)...and hopefully after editing Lost in Time 42min performance into something more 'radio-like':)...
