This past Sunday was the fourth installment in my new era of jams (I should just call them jams). I think it was pretty good, and it was also very different from the first three. I pre-arranged all the sequences and just turned them on and off and fussed with timbre during the set. This was mainly because, while rehearsing with “Cazenove” in mind, I ended up getting a couple patterns that I liked and decided I should just use them, rather than hoping that another attempt would be as good. I had also already decided not to use any of my "expressive" controllers for this set—no keyboard or mod wheel or expression petal or whatever. I used the keyboard on the Digitakt to input some notes, but there's no velocity sensitivity, so it was very rudimentary. A couple pitches I just dialed in manually, programming rather than playing. This was due to having discovered that velocity and modulation really didn't factor into that BICEP song! I also recorded a couple hasty vocal samples right…
