One Instrument is a constraint in the form of a pact with yourself to use just a single source for sounds in a track. I’ll make do with this you think, using the thought as incantation, and off you go exploring what you might do with the instrument. The One Instrument principle goes against the convention of the DAW’s limitless optionality, proposing instead that musical solutions can be figured out using one tool. Without other options that distract, now you can begin learning the instrument’s routes and circuit paths, its timbres and possibilities, its feel and ways of sounding. Focusing on one tool grows your tacit knowledge and production acuity, one modulation at a time. One Instrument proposes: there is enough here to oscillate new ideas, to make anything you want.
