CHONKER.bot
// HELLO,WORLD
CHONKER.bot s an audio-visual project inspired by video games and movies, created by Vincent Venoir - composer, visual artist, and synth enthusiast.
This little robot music can sound from a lo-fi video game soundtrack and like synth prog rock.
No matter the stylistic choices, CHONKER.bot is fully capable of bringing emotions that only humans can understand.

Today's Bandcamp Friday is a perfect opportunity to celebrate my LP debut for CHONKER.bot.
I have selected 9 of 28 tracks composed and recorded in one take. The #Jamuary2021 project was about intuitive, not overthought, and overproduced creative process.
The main goal was to record a track for each day of the month (with cameras, video editing, and pushing to the web during the same night).
- No prerecorded or bought loops
- Sequencing from a clean state + live improvisation.
I am incredibly proud of mixing the sounds on the fly because Synthstrom DELUGE was the heart of my setup, and it has only one stereo audio out. It means that I could react only to what I was hearing (while I wouldn't know what I would be playing) because it was rendering to the flat stereo mix with no possibility of fixing the single instrument's signal.
Nine selected tracks on the album were DIY "mastered" to amp the levels, cut some harshness, and check if they are connecting as a coherent story I wanted to make from it.
Feel invited to take a listen, and if you like it, consider to

JAMUARY 2021
#jamuary
The new year started exciting for me. As a passionate musician, I've participated in #jamuary - a challenge to make one music track every day to the end of the month. With these restrictions, compositions were always improvised, and everything was set and recorded on the first take in one evening (about 3h for recording music, video, editing, and publish).
Why no computer?!
I was desperate to find time for making music, and when I got some hours during the week, I got distracted or paralyzed when I was using a DAW.
I still have like an album worth of tracks just sitting in folders from that time. Buying the Deluge, Minilogue XD, and then the rest of the gear just freed my creativity and rewrote the whole mindset of making music. That comes to a BURST of motivation and tons of fun, especially when I got a FINISHED track after a finished track, day by day. It's like drugs, but I was the drugs.
