Whoa, flipping back to the minor at the last second! I was thinking to myself that things seemed far too positive and uplifting on that last leg for a person who had been grueling over notes and tones for 24 hrs! Excellent work.
I'm really digging these. Planning on expanding them at all? extending length?.... separating them? I really like the melody at 14:00. what a mood in that one. Why can I only heart something once on here!?
srsly, this has been amazing! i've been listening all yesterday, and again today whilst studying....
you have amazing talent, brando.... wish i had made you give me some stuff to listen to earlier!

An extremely commendable endeavor! Ever since reading the book "The Frustrated Songwriter's Handbook" I've wanted to try one of these all day write-a-thons. Maybe someday I'll shut out the outside World and actually do one. My hat is off to you sir!
I knew this would be a rewarding listen (like all of your stuff) - but man... all this in 24? Outstanding! Loved the crunch - but the last seven minutes are just plain wonderfully melodic. Wow. Excellent work (as usual) Brando... now get yourself some well deserved sleep. ;) k (& w)
A masterpiece indeed. I am wowed, but not surprised. Your work is always amazing. A favorite of many. Are you planning on exploring any of these ideas more? You could easily turn this into an hour long album. Each piece is so well defined and poignant. kudos.
Yeah brando!!!! Wow, this is a masterpiece. I'm loving minute 9-10, it is rocking so heavy and great panning, degradation and oh my. bubbly and so many sounds and adventures and man. Congrats!
I recorded four minutes of bird life in a bamboo patch during my last day in the Amazon.
I arranged the string section with single note samples of cellos performed by the Philharmonic Orchestra.
A further march down the road in acl's evolution - and one of the many directions we've been dying to get to... it's, ummm, water-y. (And this song is especially dedicated to J Wentz.)
After an adventure in re-recording the entire song down a third, we came back to the original, tightened and tuned.
Always the self flagellating perfectionist, it still needs a bit more love. Always the pragmatist, it is probably done for now.
Yeah I wrote this with a little help form Dmoneye. Here are the lyrics:
2008 presidential (s)election
It’s the 2008 presidential selection, not election
planned to perfection by media's erection
for soundbyte speeches by political leeches

This is the basic theme for "weekend in new orleans", a documentary we're currently writing the soundtrack for (it'll be adapted with variations throughout the film). It's very quiet. (Video trailer coming shortly.)
i made this song up real fast. and i obviously threw it into the computer real fast. i have trouble with levels. but then again, that's what the songs about. let's hear it for Temper Tantrums!
good lord. i was addicted to crosswords, and therefore became uncontrollably competitive and paranoid.
[by the way, if anyone could help me master my songs, please give a shout! i can't seem to get them any louder...]

this song was created after hearing some downtempo, that was so minimalistic that we said, 'that'd be a great track, with some synth, vocals, bass, and beat variation' and so "syncronicity was born"

9. One big Eurocity
The title is nicked from a line in a Tuxedomoon-song. I wanted to have lyrics for this one about travelling and coming across similarities in different cities in Europe. But, alas, no time left. It's an instrumental now.

great stuff brando!! really enjoyed it all but especially the last four/five minutes
killer sounds and moods, bdo. i <3 14:04. seems to sum you up very well. i'd love to hear some vocals over that, too. :)
Wow! This is just phenomenal. Start to finish, you had me enthralled. Wow.
I'm glad you went on the 6th, too. You've made the Southwest Region proud. What will you do with your new powers?

Thanks guys. I'm not sure if I'll ever touch this stuff again. That was hard work. I'm beat.

I'm really into this track.
Beautiful.
I'm late to the party on this one. SUPER COOL.
It seems there's some great music happening in Austin these days. I want more.
I just jammed out hard with this song. It's good fun.

Trent Reznor and Prince had a baby and named it Glu.
