Getting some rad sequences out of the moog/lyra combo. Coron DS8 still doing its thing on the kick. This kinda felt like a Swans type thing to me? Iduno. We’re having fun. . . . #drums #drumset #drumsdrumsdrums #drum #drummer #drummers #drummersofinstagram #beats #loops #moog #lyra #noise #recording #recordingstudio

More of this. Gotta figure out the moog/lyra balance but it’s coming along. The way the moog makes the noise pulse is nice. Welcome to my brain. Hello. I’ve had a lot of coffee. . . . . #drums #drumsdrumsdrums #drum #drummer #drummers #drummersofinstagram #loops #beats #noise #drones #toomuchcaffeine #inthegarage

Back to our regularly scheduled programming. As per usual all things happening live. Chain is the same as the last vid in the grid. Ok byeeeee . . . . #drums #drumsdrumsdrums #drum #drummer #drummers #drumming #beats #loops #synth #noise #drumlife #inthegarage #studio #recording #recordingstudio

More noise. Synth chain: Mother 32>Lyra>purpl>DL4, got the Coron DS 8 on kick into a whammy and fuzz. Drum pedal chain is subNup>outer rings>fusion box. Ok have a good day. . . . . #drums #drumsdrumsdrums #drumset #drummer #drummers #drummersofinstagram #drum #noise #beats #loops #drones #inthegarage

More noise. Lyra + Purpll into the DL4 for drones/looping. Then a mono mic into the pedal chain (octave + overdrive + fusion box for some self oscillation). Phone speaker doesn’t give you all the juice so grab some 🎧🎧🎧 . . . #drums #drumsdrumsdrums #drummer #drummers #drummersofinstagram #drum #beats #loops #drone #drones #noise #pedals #studio #recordingstudio

Got a Kep. It’s unreal good. That is all. . . . . . #drums #drumsdrumsdrums #drummer #drummers #drum #drumlife #drumming #heavy #heavymetal #drummersofinstagram #loud

Back to this. Lyra > Prpl > DL4 doing the drones and an octave plus the Fusion Box on the drums. 🤷🏻‍♂️ use headphones! . . . #drums #drumsdrumsdrums #drum #drummer #drummers #drummersofinstagram #drumlife #drones #pedals #beats #loops #noise

Happy release day @maganarama !! Super stoked for this one to be out. Jeni played and recorded most things on this record in our spare bedroom during the worst of the pandemic. I remember being struck by how inspired and immediate the demos were. I played some drums and mixed. @kmariekim and @jennamoynihan did cello and violin respectively. @tunnelspeeches did the master and @audioantihero helped with the rollout. All family ❤️ Anyway listen loud and often!! . . . #newmusic #music #recording #indiemusic #indierock #witchy #fullmoon #witch

New pedal day. Got the @ericasynths fusion box doing the heavy lifting here. Very easy to get pretty wild with the self-oscillating, which seems to be my favorite thing these days. Few little flubs but we’re having fun. Headphones would be best 🎧🎧🎧 . . . #drums #drumsdrumsdrums #drumset #drumlife #drum #drumstagram #drummer #drummers #drummersofinstagram #beats #loops #noise #recording #recordingstudio

Finally got around to messing with the @xlnaudio Life app. You feed it noise, it spits out loops. Add some drums and a self oscillating drone from ye olde outer rings and we’re in business. Hell ya. Anyway check out my bathroom. . . . #drums #drum #drumsdrumsdrums #drummer #drummers #drummersofinstagram #drummerlife #music #loops #beats #life #recording #recordingstudio #jams #bathroom #shower #showerthoughts

More outer rings insanity. I like it, I do. . . . #drums #drum #drumsdrumsdrums #drummer #drummers #drummersofinstagram #beats #loops #feedback #recording #recordingstudio #recordingstudios #gear #gearporn #inthegarage

More of this. So much of the music I love is simple. Only a few elements that each have a unique sonic identity. Forever chasing that. Ok cool bye. . . . #drums #drumsdrumsdrums #drum #drummer #drummers #drummersofinstagram #beats #loops #noise #simple #identity #whoami ? #whathaveibecome #whoareyouandwhatareyoudoinghere #music #musicproducer #inthegarage
