temporal existence ... digitone & tempera ... ambient

A performance on the Elektron Digitone & beetlecrab.audio Tempera.
Apart from two field recordings, I only used Digitone samples on the Tempera.
Tempera into Digitone.
Recorded in one take.

[@Subtronik]

My mind travels through snow capped mountains and a wide expanse while witnessing stars shoot across the skyskape of eternity.

[@TheCuri]

The Soundscape, the textures, the journey. Thx

[@fxtreffer]

Temporal existence - this is our life! Fine track, with a subtile rythm! Thx

[@willswitchcraft]

that Tempera is a very intriguing piece of gear...........great to catch this vid..............

[@drauglurdarkambient]

Stumbled into this. I'm awestruck. I love every single minute of it This is treasure and no one can tell me otherwise subbed

[@substan_music]

Thanks a lot 🙏

[@baconbigbeats]

Amazing stuff! Please do a how-to vid on this song.

[@mann-vom-mond]

Great work

[@_Alex_Crystal]

That's amazing! Nice job! 👍

[@dreamdealer]

yes, amazing sounds man, this is awesome, really interested in the tempera.

[@substan_music]

Thanks mate !!

[@decreasingmass4577]

wow brilliant

[@hexwavemusic]

The soft arp playing over the texture bed here sounds so nice! Really been enjoying the album, it's become my go-to chill out music :)

[@substan_music]

Thanks so much for this lovely feedback mate !!

[@Raumfalle]

Love it 🔥

[@BenWellby]

Nicely done. This was very calming 🙏

[@substan_music]

🙏

[@cornishwavesmusic]

Amazing work this

[@subradial]

Great stuff, Tempera definitely brings some lovely textures and flavours, love mine!

[@substan_music]

Thanks mate !! I do miss a few things but still a lovely device... I agree

[@subradial]

@@substan_music I love what it is but sent my wishes / suggestions to beetlecrab audio, maybe we will see some of them in future firmware updates...

[@philippe.serodes]

J'ai passé un excellent moment ! Merci!

[@marcus268]

This is so dope !

[@user-ih2xg1qm9j]

Something's reminding me of Goldie 'Timeless', very nice.

[@markv2360]

Been thinking about this combination. Very interesting.

[@amongthebots]

Nice one again!

[@SonicVibe]

love it !

[@TiminatorFL]

Fantastic piece. Love your music. Would be interested to learn more about how the two instruments are interacting.

[@substan_music]

Thanks a lot !! The two interact in such a way that I used the 4 midi tracks of the Digitone to sequence the emitters of the Tempera on different midi channels. Nothing complicated.. a few long held notes/chords. The sound from the Tempera is fed back into the Digitone ... and of course in the sense that I mainly used Digitone samples on the Tempera.

[@TiminatorFL]

@@substan_music Thank you!

[@projectvime]

​​@@substan_musichey, so basically you send midi notes on 4 channel to trigger 4 different Samples? But you don't control where the Grains goes with Midi, just the plain notes..or what do you mean by controlling the emittors? Do I get that right? :)

[@bonesnaps]

Very cool. Reminds me something I would hear in EVE Online or Stellaris soundtracks (scifi space games). 🛸

[@Fluidstructure]

Sounds amazing! Im on the verge of ordering the Tempera, maybe I should get an Elektron box too, not sure if I have a HW sequencer that can drive the Tempera well

[@substan_music]

I can only warmly recommend the Tempera!! Such a great playground for sound. And the openness of the developers is unique... as is the speed at which bugs are fixed and suggestions are implemented.

[@Sepelman]

Simply Beautiful! Please make a tutorial video as well, I’m ordering this music box (Tempera) this week, they ‘re working on the third batch this month. ✌️

[@substan_music]

Thanks!! I've actually planned that... but I'm not sure yet whether the video will end up on KZbin... normally tutorials are reserved for Patreon

[@helixrider]

Yeeeeesss!!! 🙌🤩🤩🤩

[@gregoirenowacki9305]

This is absolutely insane man, amazing performance. You got me sold on the Tempera, I need myself one! What are the "wet" sounds we can hear in the stereo at around 12:45? Are those artifcats of the granular synthesis on the Digitone samples?

[@substan_music]

Thanks a lot ... I'm not entirely sure what sound you mean... but I think you it's a field recording that I used alongside the Digitone sound on the Tempera.

[@dominikhaering]

Very nice! Did i understand it wright. The Tempera controls the digitone? So these are only digitone sounds?

[@substan_music]

Thanks .. the Tempera is not intended to sequence other devices. The grid looks like a sequencer but is a visual representation of 8 samples (horizontal axis) and their time span (vertical axis). Four different emitters are then placed on this grid to produce grains. In this case, the four emitters are sequenced by the 4 midi tracks of the Digitone. Apart from 2 field recordings, I only loaded Digitone samples into the Tempera.

[@Fluidstructure]

Sounds amazing! Im on the verge of ordering the Tempera, maybe I should get an Elektron box too, not sure if I have a HW sequencer that can drive the Tempera well
