Evelon here. I'm new and I'm also back (since 2006 or so). Long time!

and part time doing music related stuff

Pretty sure you’ll nail it standing on one hand with the other tied behind your back. Not that you should do it that way of course

[Evelon]

Haha! Gotta find the balance between commercialism and the obscure. Well, I’m a dynamic kinda guy. Studying form, symmetry, composition, etc makes your brain itch for that good 'ole random and/or generative Autechre music (and in a way, vice versa).

Btw, how tf do I quote someone? Was the quote button removed, or is it because I’m noob?

Highlight the text in the post you want to quote, then just ‘reply’. The quoted text will be automatically pasted in.

Don’t take this poorly or as a method of brown-nosing, but…

I don’t know when you left, but I will say(just like mentioned by @bfk) you did leave a random knowledge void. Like questions I would have never asked or answered; they were by you. Like you could and would decypher many sounds and questions with an actual truth to put people in the right direction, even at an amateur level.

I’ll iterate that you were definitely a random knowledge machine based off the information you gave back in the day. Whether or not you fully know that your answers have and had helped many of us, even if we only liked something you posted since we didn’t even know we needed to ask that ? or what to ask to begin with.

@Evelon I’m personally excited you’re back and if you were focusing a music career. I’d say if you’re aspring to YT, I’d definitely sub as many more of us would as well. Your knowledge would be fun to see and read. Fun times watching some of your past videos too. Like the Spring reverb you handled with gloves. =D

Welcome back, my dude. You do you.

Holy crap! Thank you! That means a lot!
I think I know even know more now. And I might even have a YouTube channel, but I haven’t uploaded in a while. The latest one was this, which was supposed to be like a teaser video for a longer video I was going to do:

Edit: Oh, I’m noob so I can’t post working links yet (Fixed by a mega mod of Doom)

Give this man links.

If you were to side-chain a YT to your events here, I’d be interested. No lie. Welcome back, bud.

[Auto-meh-geddon]

Next thing you know, Shotguns, Benwaa and Tode return…

[RFJ]

Ha! I didn’t know how to quote either until I caught up on your thread, now I do. Auto should ban me from the team. Worst admin ever right here, lol.

How about you? Long time no see/hear.

Haven’t been up to near as much as you it seems. Mainly work and raising kids. Making music when I can as time permits. You know, life and stuff.

It’s super good to have you back though man. As evidenced by your thread here the community unanimously agrees.

Yooo Evelon … “Waiting for Rain” right? That track was my utter jam back then. Good to see you again. I’m also just logging on for the first time in years.

[Creepr]

I joined a band (SIR REG),

That is awesome! I have them in my general rotation of irish punk stuff to listen to. that sounds like a cool thing to have been a part of. What did you play in the band?

[Gridsunitsplanes]

Hi Evelon, Good to see you back. Are you still using Jeskola Buzz at all?

[Lug]

Evelon wow ! It’s great to see you back. I actually discovered that rubber ball video a couple of months ago because I was thinking about your spring reverb experiment video and I went to your YT channel.
I hope your new balance between music and part-time employment fits you fine (the kids growing up also probably free up some time).
Just generally excited to hear from you.

Evelon’s back Welcome bak frend

Yeah, “Longing for Rain”. Good times, ambient times.
So we are both returning back to this cozy place.

That is awesome! I have them in my general rotation of irish punk stuff to listen to. that sounds like a cool thing to have been a part of. What did you play in the band?

Haha, that’s awesome! Guitar and vocals. Then you probably have heard my guitar and me singing backing vocals.

Hi Evelon, Good to see you back. Are you still using Jeskola Buzz at all?

Actually, I do. But not as frequent as I used to. It’s still a beast when it comes to designing and fucking up sounds.

Nice! I took a break from “weird noises” for a while, when I was more into writing songs, film music and other stuff. But lately I’ve been coming back to the joy of sound design and weird/fun things like that.

Evelon’s back Welcome bak frend

Tenks!

[Evelon]

Also, here’s a small samplepack I made recently, containing found sounds I recorded at home. I was trying to restrict myself creatively (just before the Corona thing went crazy) by creating sounds that would be used ONLY to make music/sounds. This is the result of that.

Here is the link for anyone that wants to avoid hunting for spaces to delete in a URL.

Creative Constraints Sample Pack by Evelon

Thanks for sharing!

[nose]

Nice! I’m totally snagging this. thanks for the work!

[Lug]

Also, here’s a small samplepack

that is simply delicious. I love the crispness on those samples. The paper sounds and the toys falling are deliciously crumbly. I understand you applied some compression on that too?

I see you’ve used the Line Audio CM mics. What do you think about them? I’ve been considering getting a pair to use for acoustic instruments/sampling and maybe drum overheads. What’s your experience with them and would you recommend them for that kind of use?

[Ramxes]

wow I didn’t know the forums were here back then! Welcome back! It’s good to see vets return.
