EVERYDAYS02 ~february~

by HALLEY LABS

supported by

halcyonesselion My recent listenings have given me a greater appreciation for Deuteronomy's noise. I need to give the Everydays a few more runs to really appreciate them, but for now I've picked out my earworms. Favorite track: funerary art.

SmugWolf High energy fun! Love the contributions from K2, Emoticon, aurastys and deuteronomy Favorite track: oh shit.

daniel Been a fan for years and Emma, and you have opened me up to many different genres and sounds. It's really expanding my musical library and I thank you for all the experiences your music has and will continue to put me though.

1.	♫♫♩♫‿♩ but it's 怒首領蜂大往生 00:14	lyrics
it's The Lick but in the style of DoDonPachi DaiOuJou's results screen. not technically an everyday, but i made it yesterday and love it far too much to not include it.
2.	K² - oh shit 02:25	lyrics
ultra heavy 2a03 business - i'm actually surprised at how punchy and intense this sounds on real hardware!
3.	HALLEY LABS R&D - toe stubber 02:40	lyrics
was not feeling anything at all this day so i just had to record something. volca kick running through the chase bliss mood and dwarfcraft grazer. some sounds here are worth sampling.
4.	JQ + Emoticon - 127 and a bit 03:29	lyrics
oldskool impulse tracker stuff. no fx, just 8 channels and fun impulse tracker instrument tricks.
5.	K² + RQ laji-2 - chicken hero 01:20	lyrics
didn't have my computer fully ready to go this day so i got back to learning my way around korg gadget on ipad. what a great tool!
6.	deuteronomy - funerary art 03:16	lyrics
suuuuuper happy with this one. harsh noise soundbed w/ deep synth pad and mellotron string samples. moody and uneasy with many NIN cadences.
7.	K² - longer days soon 01:08	lyrics
the sun set a little later today. thank goodness.
8.	Darius + RHODE STRIXMAN - scaling engine 01:28	lyrics
some vollenweider-esque stuff going on here - his work is early in my list of musical memories. this is synth1 only.
9.	RQ laji-2 - acid shreddaaaa 02:09	lyrics
korg gadget and the behringer td3 put through some pedals, especially the dwarfcraft grazer and chase bliss mood for some wonky glitched-out infectious energy.
10.	deuteronomy - frostspeak 03:18	lyrics
kalimba and melodica through the pedal rig. would like to explore these ideas more.
11.	deuteronomy - sweet dreams satellite 03:01	lyrics
mixer feedback + pedal rig only. teasing out the melodic extremes of the setup, attempting to provide both backing and lead through only one pedal chain. love this one.
12.	Darius + EUGENE - scatterself 02:18	lyrics
noise techno w/ the volca keys, volca kick, and behringer td3 put through the pedals and mixer for feedback. nasty nasty.
13.	Emoticon - outer city 03:14	lyrics
protracker house business. named for inner city, of course. not a total ripoff of good life!
14.	Halley Labs Associates - mantra 01:46	lyrics
hold your head up high, carry on, and don't forget to love
15.	Aurastys - wraith 04:11	lyrics
this is a sine wave put through one instance of guitar rig with no external automation/sequencing. there's some arrangement done after the fact but most of the track is untouched.
16.	Aurastys + Darius - computer club 03:05	lyrics
same as above, but a different guitar rig patch.
17.	Darius + deuteronomy - lore draft 03:26	lyrics
kalimba, korg volca kick & keys, pedalboard. there's a cool vibe here, especially with the soft mutating speedcore-tempo kick against the rest of the sound bed.
18.	deuteronomy - naturaleza muerta 05:39	lyrics
as with one of last month's everydays, korg gadget recorded to tape loops, then out to the pedalboard. this one stands out as being very unlike me somehow. just one of those situations where you automatically make very different decisions.
19.	K² - starboarding (2A03+VRC6) 01:56	lyrics
an arrangement of the deuteronomy track. i really wanted to capture the instability of the original tape loops and i needed the VRC6 mapper to cover all my bases. its sawtooth and pulses really capture the sound of the original.
20.	Aurastys - setting down 03:31	lyrics
goldwave, a recording of some rain, and nothing else - no plugins, only destructive editing. i love doing sound design from scratch in goldwave and this is one of the most musical results i've had.
21.	Halley Labs Associates - soothsayer 01:23	lyrics
it feels like i made this forever ago, but it was just 4 days back at the time of this album release. this piece must have the ability to distort time, or at least it feels like it - you hit play, space out, and it's over like it never even began.
22.	K² - going places 02:01	lyrics
some much-needed encouraging 2a03 vibes. stepping up my instrument sequencing with this one... by the way, i still don't "get" famitracker! i use s3m2nsf, so the luxury of instrument settings isn't available to me, but i love the freedom of every note being handled differently.
23.	K² - sweatin' the technicals 00:50	lyrics
i didn't want to spend my entire day nudging around tiny details, so this is short! but it was fun while it lasted!
24.	K² - finish the job 01:32	lyrics
i tried to make three other tunes that simply were not working out before i said "ok, whatever!" and crapped out this 2011-era tune. hey, maybe it would be a good fit for a rockman hack!

about

NOTE: "lyrics" fields contain little blurbs about each track.

be sure to read the intro to the EVERYDAYS project on the january upload if you haven't! you can find it here: lapfox.bandcamp.com/album/everydays-january

i'm super happy with a bunch of this month's entries, but of particular note is just how much famicom chipmusic there is - i wasn't expecting this project to end up being a Kitsune² revival in disguise! but i can't complain, what's here is my best chipmusic work ever.

as mentioned last time, thanks for checking this out. it's great to be able to not sweat the details as much as i do with more 'complete' work.

you can find some "goodies" (tracker files, NSFs, VST patches, etc) from the everydays project here: heckscaper.com/everydays/goodies/
