Oh, cool, someone else uses their pocket phone to harness the modern generator apps for something unusual.
Usually, I get flustered because people think I should somehow be able to buy a Kurzweil or a Korg or even a Roland when that's simply not in the cards for me. I use the Android sound generator apps to create textures & fill up space with patterns of rhythm & melody, & I've started to feel a little bit foolish for even trying to make moderne sound performances, since I mostly rely on an acoustic guitar & my vocal mics to multitrack my compositions.
I'm digging this - I like kind of the freeform improvised nature of it. The sort of thing that would make for interesting dreams if it came through on the speakers while I was sleeping.
This is sort of a demo I did with Bloom, a regenerative music app designed by Brian Eno and Peter Chilvers. As I was playing it I stepped through all 12 "moods" for a minute each.
written when i was writing my first album after discovering a new way of working...a drone that turns into something else...written for someone special who sleeps while i create.........

Now THAT I'd like to hear!
An 8-bit groove recorded from the NESynth iPhone application and a little love from GarageBand and the Mac text-to-speech tools. Here are the lyrics:
Thought over capacity
I cannot achieve
Maximum velocity
Digital heart racing
Multiplexing
Enumerating…
Cthulahoop recording commenced after a peculiarly strong dream. Uses samples of a friend's digerido run through an analog filter. Definitely dream state.
I guess this would be the "centerpiece" of the album. Like the rest of the album it really stumbles along the line between droney and simply repetitive, and it needs a bit of a reworking to reach its potential.
Where's all this sappy music coming from? The Olympics were on. I must have been watching too much figure skating or something.
Unmastered track from my 2010 RPM Challenge submission.
This is inspired by Frippitronics. Frippontroncis is I call non-traditional mood music invented by Robert Fripp master guitarist for King Crimson. It involves loops of sustained guitars, in this case using an e-bow. I usually do one of these…
Stuck in a very comfy place. You know you need to leave...
Da techno:
Ableton Live, Alchemy and playing on the the qwerty, quite literally while lying in a bed in California with ipod headphones on. Upon arriving home, I did a little mixing…
I'm a complete idiot when it comes to all things midi related. Recently got myself a midi keyboard though and came up with this short piece just messing with sounds in Proteus. Really looking forward to the possibilities of combining this sort…
Opened for Hentai Improvising Orchestra at 1919 Hemphill in Fort Worth. A 26 minute piece, I had to edit it down to this because of some nasty noise spikes on the louder bits. So whats left is a very sleepy piece.
This is a track I've been working on for quite a while so I am glad to finally have it out of my head.
I have a kind of love/hate relationship with time and its humble functionary, the clock. Ticking, in particular, is something I am ambivalent…

Yeah....okay, I dig this, man.
It's a twang ;)

Very nice tribute -- he will be missed!
Live looping, ACL, but not at a gig.. -BL
This is wonderful! Is this live? w;)
Mellow sounds, dreamy and cool.

@Reefwalker, thanks. No just setting up fx pedalboard in Logic, reverbs,delay and trem and let it roll..
Downward spiral-ish at first. R u manipulating as your playing, or is it shifting on its own? Cool fx!
No kidding- cool fx patch! Awesome sounds!
nice
Wow,, really very fine
I'm sure I'm not alone in agreeing that there's nothing worse than a bad burrito. o7

I read your name as thespiritTIDES for some reason, I must be semi-dyslexic. Wilkommen.

Cool machine music!
Heard this on the RPM player and came over here to fave!
Wickedness!
Thanks, you made my day. And called attention to yours, which I had sadly overlooked. Good work!
Really really good album. Proof you don't have to be loud to be interesting.
You know I love this kinda stuff, Howard. Good one here.
Wow I admit I drifted away on this one, well done!
nice nice very nice!
And so here's the video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J2YbhVTbsPk
I've been meaning to get this done for a while, just keep putting it off. Thank you for yer music.
This is the one missing from Tomita's (Holst) The Planets!
Cool sounds! I'd love to get back into midi/keyboard compositions myself someday.
@ShamPain, here's a new, de-noised version. Not "clean" but better, considering the live nature of this hissy beast! Thanks.
Wish I could favorite the playlist as a whole! THe MOBA site is great also.
Very nice sound painting. Long, too.
Very cool. Enjoyed reading the notes, it's obvious you put a lot of work into it.
This is cool. Been listening to a lot of Robert Rich recently and this is up that same alley. Title was interesting to research too,
I like the changes. Great song!
