New Album Release; Baby Bots Labs Vol. 1

An experimental album of stuff I made with my Baby Bot 3000 which is a unique baby doll that generates synth sounds from a built-in oscillator which is the thing that generates the sounds. It has knobs around the top of the head which groom the sounds for example it has a low and high pass filter that cuts out certain frequencies depending on if you use the high pass or low pass side. The high pass keeps all the high frequencies and is more high pitched and at times piercing and the low pass filter is used to keep all the low end and is how basses are made from oscilator sounds which like the doll are noisy and just harsh sounds. This is why you use hardware filters to further smooth the sounds out and is what I used a lot on this album or it would have just been noise. The doll also generates rhythm which I found got some cool rhythms and sounds from like on the track In The Vapours which is funny enough one of my favorites on the album as I like the quirkiness of it. I got the doll from the online shop Etsy and fell in love with it with just the sight alone but when I read the description I fell in love with it even more and thought I must have it and how it would come into some use. I’ve already made lots of songs from it and also made a VST plugin with the sounds generated using filters and FXS like reverb and delay the VST plugin can be found on my other website gasnolight.co.uk under VST plugins or it can be found under the blog section too. I must admit it is a bit of a trip to set it up and get it working sometimes it takes more than an hour sometimes two and then there is the plug to it you need a special plug to fit in the charger and I have lots of leads and struggle to find the right one but I do enjoy it when I have it on and also making music with it. I fell in love with the Baby 3000 as they are custom-made and also the eyes glow up in the dark and the lights move with the sounds and rhythms which I thought was pretty cool. Not to mention it looks cool but kind of creepy with the knobs sticking out the top of the head it adds color and funk to the doll but it’s unique enough with the oscillator built into the doll. All the sounds came from the doll and I recorded the sounds with the Tascam recorder. The sound was coming out of my stereo for the first bit then I had one long noisy file which I put into FL Studio my DAW and began molding the sounds into something a bit more palatable as believe me it would have been a messy and unapproachable album and that’s not good. My favorites on the album are Fatal Showdowns, In The Vapours, Rays Of Sun, Wait To Burn – Balance,  New Dawn, Up Late, Past Is There, Wild Cats, It Means Nothing, and my overall favorite with Wild Cats, Old Skool Time so the whole album basically as it’s something different and synthy which I said on my other site gasnolight.co.uk many times and over the internet I’m obsessed with synthesizers.
