Infinite ear candy (like Bonobo & Gold Panda)

Let's generate infinite ear candy by recording crispy acoustic bits. We record wood, glass, and metal bits and then trigger them in big splashes of MIDI random data which makes tasty churns.
This technique was inspired by such hybrid electronica artists like Bonobo and Gold Panda.
BTW, if you don't have Note Echo, you can achieve a similar effect with the Arpeggiator in non-sync mode!

On the Glass Animals breakdown, he asked us what artists we want him to cover, and I said Bonobo! I take full credit for the Bonobo inclusion here!!!

[@paulcervenka]

I have loved Bonobo since high school.

[@persona83]

I used to do it manually, since the glitch music heyday, circa 2000-2002. At some point, I was recording everything in the house, and ended up with a great percussion sound library. Great tips.

[@mklztr4542]

Love it, I was already experimenting a lot with arpeggiated drums and percussion but this gives me a lot of ideas to expand my workflow on that direction

[@likenicesinging]

Damn that random+midi delay+ instrument rack thing is so potent, thank you, beautiful thinking!

[@Digiphex]

Oh giving up the gravy now. Good stuff.

[@SlayerDarkRaver]

Another addition to my collection! 🤯

[@WillSinks]

I've always wondered how this candy was made, you've definitely stumbled across something epic. Thank you for resisting your urge to keep it to yourself!

[@Raminmarciano]

amazing! Bonobo did this all by hand though, there used to be a video of him making kong in cubase, he zoomed in and placed all the different hats and cymbals etc individually. Changed my whole perspective on whats possible if you take the time.

[@OscarUnderdog]

That's wild, I haven't seen that!

[@Raminmarciano]

@@OscarUnderdog sadly he removed it, he used a lot of PSP plugins at the time and different layers of fx loops which he cut and reversed etc.

[@SeattleDjs]

Ha! Awesome, I was just thinking about some random sampling to add to Dj sets. This might be just what I am looking for. Also, I didn't even need to grab my earbuds for this video. You kept me lazy on the couch. Lol

[@hans-georgdaun6270]

Brilliant ! Thank you !

[@nicklausmusic]

This has just given me a sick idea to create some percussion loops using FL in a way I wouldn't have thought of before, yes Oscar.

[@-plumbus]

Slicex and piano roll? Or is there a better way to do this?

[@kipallo4136]

Otomo is such a great track. The way the different metallic percussions blend together with the Bulgarian choir sample is truly creative. I use Cakewalk, which doesn't have the same tools as Live, but I've been able to use Sitala to organize sounds manually and I'm really starting to like this style of making percussion. Thank you for all your tutorials!

[@wenzeljanzen409]

Man, I have to tell you that I really like your chanel. I started following it when I switched from fl to ableton to make techno. So coming here you could say I was a propper rookie. Your videos in which you explain everything in detail (I specifically remeber the way you explained parallel effects) gave me a huge conceptual understanding of how to use a DAW. Even your more hands on stuff was amazingly uncolored musically. Like providing your clients with studio monitors instead of bass boosted mixes. Your personality reminds me of what phare ll tries to be but can't become casue he got too much ego hahahaha.
