I was playing around w/ Iris 2 again

Track 5, Harmony Track, Adding Thirds
last night, along with tweaking some samples, and I wound up with this, which I think thus far has some potential. Its completely not mixed, so the volume levels are all over the place, and some of the harmonies clash at points, but overall I like the idea. Track 2 provides sort of the hi-hats and snares, which came from a sample that I warped a bit. Track 3 is the kicks, which I apparently accidentally left a heavy delay/reverb on, which was for a different track. So try and ignore that, haha. Track 4 is the first of 3 Iris2 instruments, and provides the basic root notes that everything else thus far was built around. It starts on B which has harmonies built on top for the next 4 bars, then drops down a minor third to G#, also for 4 bars, then repeat. Track 5 is pictured above to the right, and adds some thirds over these root notes, initially with a major 3rd, then two bars of a minor 3rd, before dropping down the 9th, before repeating over the G#.

Track 6, Iris Instrument 3


Listen to Izo2 here...


Track 6 adds a twinkly little Iris2 synth, but a heavy gate

Track 7, Ascending Fill
sidechained to Track 2 keeps it jumping in and out. I initially just had it play alone, but it felt a bit odd. I almost replaced the instrument, but now think the gating made it pretty cool. Track 7 is used to transition use between the B's and G#'s, playing a slightly dissonant ascending line, pictured to the left here. I was trying to build some weird stuff on top of the really basic B to G# progression, which I think is working, though some of the timbres/actual synths will need to be altered. Track 8 comes in at an odd point, sort of providing a transition between the full 16 bar sections, and using an arpeggiated synth to add some more harmonies. Finally, we have Track 9, which plays dyads, and adds some more cool harmonies that further add some dissonance, though never enough to lose track of the basic progression. I'm going to work on this one tonight a bit too, along with yesterday's idea, and see what happens!
