A psychedelic beat made again with the “Dirty Funk” Sample Pack. Lately, I’m having so much fun with these sounds. With them is so easy to create this kind of trippy Funky Tracks. They are great for improvise over it with the electric piano and add layers of chords, notes, textures to end up with a heavy magma of sounds, dreamy and dense. Perfect to listen and relax.

This one, I think, sounds a little bit like a Tosca production, a band that I’ve always admired by their warm and hypnotic tracks. If you like this and want to re-create this kind of production, get these samples now by clicking in the link below:

Dirty Funk (for the EP133 KOII)

SO… Here we go again with the sample pack “DIRTY FUNK” but this time I’m playing with a bunch of samples on my MPC One. I’ve just updated the machine, so why not test this new collection of sounds on the AKAI device?

The session was Funky but dreamy, very psychedelic but punchy at some points. Hope you like this atmospheric funky beats and remember that you can get the “DIRTY FUNK” sample library through my website. An amazing set of sounds for the price, if you ask me. Two complete drum kits, bass sounds, horns, wah-wah guitars, and mellow keys are perfectly chopped and ready to be used in your music productions with no legal problems, because they are absolutely ROYALTY-FREE

I really love the K.O. II and how straightforward is. That’s why I’ve created this new sample pack, so I can play with it more often and build tight and fast this kind of minimal funk structures to fool around, based on the 70’s jazz fusion era.

With the Teenage Engineering sampler it’s pretty easy to get this sound quick. Once you have the rhythmic section accomplished, you can plug in an electric piano into the input of the K.O. II and you are ready to play like if you are in the middle of the night high as a kite, in a Miles Davis session for the record “On the Corner”. I’ve been into that vibe a lot lately; I like that organic sound, the magical feeling you can get with a minimal funky rhythm on and on and some smooth keys on the top. That’s my jam right now. Hope that you like it too.

Testing what you can do with this new sample library “Dirty Funk”. You want to make easy 4×4 Funk, gotcha! You want to go more ambient and experimental like Miles in the late 60s, you are covered too. Maybe you want some straight Funky beat and some horns over like a sex machine… Done!

This Sample pack cover lot of bases but all of them are Funk as F*ck. So if you are feeling groovy just get all these sounds and let’s go and get Funky https://audiowanderer.com/AW/product/dirty-funk-for-the-ep133-koii/

Super groovy and funky sample library to create your own funky beats.
Samples specially picked to create this kind of groovy, smooth vibe. Drums sampled from obscure 70s jazz-funk records, real guitar wah-wah played through a vintage CryBaby pedal, smooth keyboard phrases and funky bass lines specially recorded for this sample pack. All put together.

DIRTY FUNK is one of the finest sample packs I’ve created. If you’d like to add some funky touch to your beats… well, this is the way. More than 350 samples to accomplish this easy and funk… and we’ve duplicated the sounds in the sample library, processing the whole pack to create a LoFi version of each sound (based on the SP-202 LoFi mode), so you can use those decimated sounds to make unique LoFi beats.

Broadcasting the latest AW videos about my music making adventures

I plugged an old laptop with lots of VST running through CUBASE 5 under Windows XP OS to the OBS via VGA and started to stream in a long ambient jam trying to capture the spirit of the 2K decade.

I experienced some audio drops and noises but very few having in mind the laptop executing the session has more than 20 years. By the way, I found this modern archeological music experiment super fun to play. This bunch of old unsupported software, Abandonware if you like, are still capable to create amazing texture and ambient passages endlessly and is a great exercise to see how music technology has improved over all these years

Time to go back in time and capture the zeitgeist of the year 2000 with a laptop I got pretty cheap in a fleamarket. Is lightweight, small and optimized to run the windows XP, so it’s perfect as a workbench for retro music software from the golden age of the VST plugins (virtual studio technology)

I did a fresh Windows XP installation on this laptop (A Dell X300 latitude) and then look for some of the VST gems from the late 90s and early 2000. Best way to get a nice collection of Abandonware from that era is direct your browser to ARCHIVE.ORG and look in their shelves. Rebirth, Cubase, Reason, Ableton, Hammerhead station, etc. can be found buried in there. Got these and many more. All running very nice on this ultraportable laptop, perfect for make a unique ABANDONWARE JAM!

Hey! Did you checked my web already… AW website: https://audiowanderer.com/

Sometimes I like to play a nice and soft, long and smooth ambient jam, like in this video. I just play the Electric Piano over a Norns script (Firstlight), improvising a bunch of chords and melodies.
It sounds like a lullaby, like a song to fall asleep to. Put this on when you are tired of everything, not only physically but mentally worn out by how the world is going on. Press play and try to relax. You can notice a bit of sadness in it, yeah… that’s because I’m pretty aware that all the troubles we have seen and will see are not easy to handle, but I trust in you. You have trust in yourself too. We will sort this out. We will keep going. Maybe not today or tomorrow, so take your time and rest a bit. Meanwhile… I’ll play this for you. Listen…

And… Hey! Check my new website: https://audiowanderer.com/

Wouldn’t it be fantastic to go back in time and enjoy the crazy ’90s?
Raving every day, gorgeous cyberpunk gadgets on the shelves every week, and no panopticon surveillance system built into our mobile devices… yet.
Google was just a bunch of nerds in college trying to create a search engine for that new thing called the internet, and Zuckerberg really was a sucker back then… before creating the biggest open-source intelligence organization called Facebook.
But don’t get me wrong, those days weren’t free of bullshit… I know… but we were naive enough to think everything would be okay in the end… We were soooo wrong.
At least, the music was catchy. Enjoy these 90s vibes on the Yamaha QY700, a true time travel machine

I just connected my old QY700 to check if the unit was operating correctly, and certainly it works!
So I couldn’t hold myself and I made a bunch of tracks on the biggest QY sequencer out there. I love the physical interface of the device, those clicky computer buttons, the big black dial to navigate, the easy and simple tasks you can do on the sequencer.

My least favourite part of the machine might be the rubber piano roll keyboard and the size and weight of the machine itself. But apart from that, a great piece of equipment. Don’t you think?

Tracklist:
00:00 track 1 – Financial district attacked…
05:11 track 2 – Your computer is full…
08:50 track 3 – Views of a coastal chaotic metropolis…
12:52 track 4 – AI managed drones…
15:31 track 5 – Neon lights…
18:15 track 6 – Brainrot meme war…
21:50 track 7 – The future the showed us…

Hey! How was summer y’all?

I bet it was a bit hotter than usual, right? Yeah, that’s happening more and more often since the elites, in this late stage of capitalism, keep prioritizing unlimited profits over safe weather conditions and welfare that, according to them, is no longer sustainable. So, they’re switching the whole system into a sort of technofeudalism that we embrace in exchange for digital validation and… Enough… You got the point.

Here’s just a bunch of pretty minimal jams, always outdoors with portable, battery-operated electronic equipment, just to relax a bit from this world that feels like it’s about to explode one day or another.

Enjoy… while you can.

A compilation of DIY stuff I’ve been doing all these years and that you can try to build by yourself. A little noise machine effect processor, A physical winamp player and a bunch of arduino nano projects from an amen break random player to a number station emulator. Crazy stuff to build by yourself in your spare time. Long live to the DIY stuff

Just a quick dump of what’s inside my nanoloopFM.
Weird noises, soundblaster inspired sounds, FM dissonant extravaganzas, downtempo IDM warp inspired fantasies… All inside this tiny device from Oliver Witchow. More info at: https://www.nanoloop.com/

I love to put old software in my old pc laptops. You can still make lovely sounds with lot of these vintage retro music software and most of them are archived in https://archive.org/ Look for music software compilations and demos there.

A couple of Nintendo DS, one with the EasyPiano DS keyboard attached and playing the Wavetable Synth ( More info here:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1KpZAKCoK_4 )
And other DS playing cellsDS with my own Custom Scripts (More info here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u5fyKuYn00Y )

It was 2009 when this piano peripheral appeared for the NDS Lite and it’s now, more than 15 years later than this cute piano has a new use beyond the classical training for beginers. Thanks to the work of Camden Flannagan, the easypiano PAK is now an essential tool for making experimental electronic music on the DS.
