It's quite a ways off from February, but I've decided to try a silly thing.
In 2016, I started, and didn't finish, what I called Kaosuary, where the aim was for me to make, and post, a new beat/loop made with Korg's iKAOSSILATOR app for iOS every day in February. I gave up about half way through, despite how fun that thing still is after fundamentally not really changing in almost fifteen years, because I suck at following through on things.

This february, I propose #movuary. Same idea, but this time, using the Ableton Move.

For anyone else here who has a Move, or even Ableton Note for iOS, since the stock library is the same, just with more tracks, why not join me on this adventure?

Basically, the aim is to create and post something new every day in February made with the Ableton Move or Note to the platform of your choice, and share it with the world. It can be a four bar loop, a full-on song, weird noises with household items set to a grid, whatever.

I, personally, love to see what others are doing with this awesome little groovebox.

#LetsMove or something.

Well, here we are, the first day of February. For every day this month, I will post a track I've produced only using the Ableton Move, each of which will be added to this thread, using the #Movuary hashtag. For those who have a Move, or the Ableton Note software for iOS, feel free to share your own creations here using the hashtag, and I will boost.

I'll start off with a little piece in D miner featuring a lot of subtractive synthesis. You'll find that I like writing in miner keys.

Anyhow, this one is called "Only the Beginning." It has a time signature/style change, one level of resampling to fit things into more than just the available four tracks, a vocal sample that says "NOOF," and so much more. What could possibly go wrong?

Yeah I started out with hardware when I was first getting into music, but I got a Mac pretty young and the fact that it could talk, and I was finally able to have a better understanding of what I was doing without having to look at a screen had a very big influence on me. Still have an old Motif XS just hanging out next to me, got pretty good with that, figured out how the sequencer worked relatively quickly, but never was able to do much sound design with it.

For #Movuary day 2, I present yet another thing in the key of D Miner with subtractive synthesis. I promise I'm capable of doing other things in other keys.

This one is a remix, if you can call it that, of the NE S Wizards and Warriors title screen music. My uncle had this game when I was a kid, and I loved it's sound track.
Basically, I step entered the original theme, which consists of three tracks -- two pulse waves and a triangle, then had some fun with it.
