still one of my personal faves. - although i'd wish to redo some parts, i'm stuck with this version, since i don't own one of the synths used there anymore..

had to log back in to comment. great ambient backdrop. - even if your not in the mood for ambient, the sound snippets and the continued progression keep you drawn in for the duration. DL
Alright!! This is some kickin' tune right here. I wanted to mess with this one when Jarvis first uploaded it. Then Brian Bazeley added this great bass line to it. At that point, I had no choice but to add some more veggies to this stew…

Abakua refers to a secret, Afro-Cuban, male society of percussionists - as I understand it, one had to be initiated into this society before they would be taught how to play percussion in their style. One of their hallmarks is to impose what I…
Mark Bradley sent me something to work on...it started out as one song then changed into two separate songs...Running To Exile is built around what Mark sent me and we are both happy with what i came up with.........
Backyard Ghost sent me something to work on...i added my own touch and arranged it...i sent it to him and he added another of his touches and rearranged it and You've Had My Tears is the end result...we both love this collaboration...expect more…

Dedicated to my sweet wife's loving mother, Millie, who is moving into hospice.
She is a very thoughtful person, centered on peace and justice.
The song has a guitar part that symbolizes her. The quieter echo part is Wally, who passed years ago.
I was just messing around with my new TR-707 drum machine, and one thing lead to another, and I kicked this out. This is something worth working on, I think.
used: TR-707, several Native Instruments soft synths, bass, and vocals.

Many years ago a brave soul uploaded several recordings of his sister's recital to a newsgroup I created for amateur musicians. I asked for, and he gave, permission to use the recordings. Well…
thank you all! it's more a wink, done under the form of a parody, at some old times and genre from the 19th century, born in Paris; and certainly fun to do!
@ Norm: if you're as bad dancer as me, i feel sorry for her feet :p
@ Richard: actually, no synth used here, only sf2 and FL studio. with a very light mastering.
this is a cover done for the french hiphop band, IAM, because although highly political in content, saldy most of what they say is true. - note that the clip was never aired on tv or radio, due to official decision.

CROSS-OVER POLYRHYTHMS
This is actually a type of enharmonic polymeter, where 2 rhythms with **different meters** (i.e., a different numbers of beats/measure) are played at the **same tempo**: the measures do not line up each time. These rhythms…
A happy kind of electro pot-pourri.
The process:
- find a sound, noodle in Ab
- find another sound, develop a compatible noodle
- repeat a couple of times
- program a beat
- add replicant
- find other sounds for a B section
- find more sounds…
takes a bit of time to develop, but it keeps getting better and better as it unfolds. 2nd part is really good..(clap sounds too dry, for a piece so bubble-ish)

There is an internet label called "SoOn" and this was the 2nd release - a collaboration between me and the guy doing the organ who subsequently left the label - as well as lots of input from…

This is made with a very experimental Reaktor instrument I am building.
It uses a very simple particle collision model with 64 particles in a 100x100 box. When two particles collide they trigger a sampler to play a slice of either of two samples…
nicely disturbing; maybe a tad too linear here and there, but that's certainly due to the formula. - i wonder if this could work with superformula and if so, what would be the output..
This is a special request by Sister.
It's kinda sloppy. Frankly, because I suck at it :)
I'm not much of a cover musician but I gave it hell.
It's mostly analog. MIDI drums, DB33 organ patch,
strat leads, and Ibanez chords, Dean bass…
Please hit "more" — March 01, 2010 — I take a stab at performing a song live on video in several takes. Since this was an improvisation with a couple takes here and there it is not as polished as some may like.

Much more captivating when I came back for a second helping.
Hypnotic. Pulled me right in on the beam. Spiffy engineering too.
Still updating my little studio....needed a pick me up...coffee not working. :)
a thoroughly enjoyable listening experience. thanks.
Have you uploaded "54" yet? Not rushing you, your last comment seemed like you had and i miss it.
Superb piece of work man! First rate!
Cool Tones.
thanks a lot to everyone for listening! @Chris: "World Electro" eh? i like that!
had to log back in to comment. great ambient backdrop. - even if your not in the mood for ambient, the sound snippets and the continued progression keep you drawn in for the duration. DL
Smooooth.
Work of art my man, work of art. I humbly salute you.
Amazing ambiance. I love these chill grooves. Very smooth. Thank you!
Impressive blend of sounds - this song has a very unique atmosphere, and it is even danceable
I wish I had something sensible to say - I just love these fresh and effortlessly exotic sounds!
Oh, nice rhythm. A very exotic and compelling track.
nice ending too.
dig vocal moan sample that starts up after a minute. smooth stuff, yet very interesting.
Outstanding! Another great percussion track, which we have come to expect from you. Thanks for posting this!
boy, are you ever going through a creative period - everything is sounding top notch - I love the percussion + ambiance style here. World electro?
Well done! w;-)

this is soooo cool! i hope you guys will make more of these!
quite a unique blend of prog rock and TD-like new-age, something of Stratosfear..
well thank you all! :)
that's sooooo voodoo! technique's great yes, but the vibe is simply excellent! and your timing is just getting better and better O_o
excellent balance between the 2 (almost) opposite moods..
what a pleasant surprise! i wasn't expecting this at all, but this is reeeeally good..
ouch dang! too short! :/
excellent, and i agree with C.Decato, it has this Jimmy Page feel..
very nice composition, quite moving. i'm less convinced by the vocals though, probably too much reverb, or not enough damping..
very solid fundations, but it feels rapidly circling around. it might be missing something to finalize this and make a really good tune!
ahahah, this is good! is it desecration or desacralization, though? ;)

they wrote this, that's already a good start no? makes people wonder, just as you did..
y u m m y ! la llave es la clave, si!

good idea to dig this one out! aside the clean and detailed prod, there's so much going on, in less than 3mins, excellent collab!

sometimes, sacrilege is a blessing.. - great rock and pretty good vocals!
quite dreamy, both the tune and the video. didn't know you were a sax player as well..
