WAV → ABLETON
pick a folder once, add the same folder to Places in Live's browser, and every save on this shelf writes straight into it. a WAV button puts its one file there. KUVALDA-77 makes a folder of its own inside it, named after the tempo, with kicks, stems and layers in it. no download, the sound is already in Live. the files are 32-bit float, the same samples the page played.
WAV QUIETER
how far down every WAV leaves the site. a machine finishes its sound at its ceiling, about -1 dBFS; at -6 every file comes out 6 dB quieter and goes into the premaster as it is, nothing to turn down by hand. the sound inside stays the same, and every file goes down by the same amount, so stems still add up to their mix and a loop stays where it sat under the kick. kept in this browser for every machine.
TREK
eight machines, one track: they share its tempo and its key
KUVALDA·77
a layering station for the bochka kick

enter ▸LOM·77
percussion and the grooves it plays

enter ▸TSEKH·77
the factory floor under the track
hum, ventilation, crackle, metal groans and distant presses cut from stretched hits on the key, as a seamless loop of sixteen, thirty-two or sixty-four bars that changes over every sixteen.
enter ▸UROD·77

enter ▸SPEKTRALYZE
spectral chaos, as loops
hits or your own sound rung through spectral resonators on the key, frozen, stretched, delayed bin by bin, run backwards and broken, as seamless loops of whole bars on your tempo.
