korberd has a weakness for hypnotic and slowly evolving atmospheres. However, he rarely manages to resist adding a clearly defined rhythmic component. Simply calling this techno wouldn’t sit well with some dedicated musicians. Hence the overarching category: ‚Beat & Atmosphere‘.
This spontaneous recording session shows how classical music can shine through dark beats.
Thin drums, a deep bass line and two melodies that push themselves to the fore. A pitched delay creates an organic canvas in which all sounds are dynamically applied.
Driving bass line coming from the DFAM along with a frequency modulated melody.
This piece unfolds around the long drawn out take of the main melody. In a figurative sense, the „light“ comes from its own reflection.
This track manly consists of differently colored patterns playing together. Figuratively speaking, this shows how the feel of a sunny landscape can be completely changed by moving clouds.
In a calculated life, it is rare to see an aimless traveler. But we all learn from his incredible wisdom.
SSF Ultra Kick bass line, a DFAM sequence and a short lead accompany a minor key melody. Colors and textures are reflections from the Rainmaker.
Just having fun with this patch.
The atmosphere of this track consists of pitched taps from the bell-like input signal. The bass line leads the development of the piece and the drums set everything in motion.
This piece is a simple quantized melody played by the DFAM that is beeing moved over the scale, and the mesmerizing atmosphere consists of many minute modulations of all the sounds.
This track was recorded on May 20th, 2023. The bass line is a modulation of the Ultra Kick and the percussive lead comes from Plaits. Background effects and the whole atmosphere are reflections of the DFAM.
After the Superbooth 2023 it was necessary to try different patches and get the music more simplistic and hypnotic at the same time. This track is the beginning of that journey. The melodic sequence is being affected by 3x Mia and the bass line is coming from the modulated kickdrum.
KonTrasT was released on April 27th, 2023 and consists of a heavily modulated and self-composed guitar piece surrounded by an exciting beat.
B8P4 was released on April 6th, 2023 as a result of a spontaneous jam session and shows a sequence played in pendulum mode from the Mother 32 (Bank 8 Pattern 4), which is accompanied by a high-frequency drone from the DFAM. The decisive factor is the use of the effects devices Dual FX and Rainmaker, which enable a particularly dark atmosphere. The thin beat develops slowly at 138 BPM and its consistency induces a hypnotic effect.
Green 7 was recorded on March 16, 2023. This track marks an intersection between two musical phases: the phase of pure atmospheres and that of beat-accompanied atmospheres. The sequence called Green 7 from the Mepropolix is accompanied by two sequences from the Mother 32 and a deep rhythm consisting of a kick and a DFAM bass line. In the background, the Rainmaker builds the track’s signature ambience based on the main sequence.
