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.
The verse and the chorus are pretty much the same thing except the chorus is louder and heavier. I consider that a gimmick and a bit of a cheat, but I very often really like the way it works out. Shoot me.
The lyrics are about being afraid…
I recently discovered three songs we had recorded in 1993 or 1994 shortly before breaking up. These tracks are the only ones (that I know of) that have our new player, the only personnel change we had in over 10 years.
The title is obviously…
After not having played for a while I was inspired by a Steve Tibbetts sound and tried to recreate it and failed. This came out. The title was indeed misinterpreted words not intended and not really about this piece of music but in a sense was.
With JS Tolar, as band Visions Of Nell.
My tribute to Anne Boleyn, the first queen to be publicly executed in England. I used some of the poetry she wrote during her imprisonment in the chorus. An innocent, incomparable woman.
With music written and performed by Soundsmith Kamachi.
It was the last day of RPM and he asked me to write a lullaby for a track called Cornucopia. Very much enjoyed how easily this one flowed. That's my mum, Bee Mathis, adding class to the…
Most of the lyrics written in 1999, a tough year. Many thanks to JB for his awesome screaming lead playing (done first take, I should add!!!) and to LadyJane for supplying some oooo's. (anyone needing some vocals - send her your song!)
Decided to upload a work in progress from a heavy side project called : Lab Survivor.
I have a few things in the works coming up, hopefully including an all acoustic RPM. Finally have the studio up and running with some new upgrades :) Wahoo…
Stevie Ray is the reason why I picked up my guitar in the first place. I did my best to mimic him throughout my short 8 months of guitar playing, then I realized I was going nowhere. So instead, I sought to develop a style which would make Stevie…

@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!

Me too. Great little solo!
A mysterious soundtrack!
Intense!
That's a rockin blast from the past!
Got it Jim. Nice closing piece.
Yay, Jim! That looping/layering really works, approaching Tibbettsism.
Cool. I could happily listen to Bee recite the Cornwall phone book.
tangerine dreamy
Thanks kirklynch, mainly just some tape delay that creeps in about the 2 min. mark.
Nice. I would have put a bit more reverb on the vocal, but minor. Very nice,yall.
One of my faves from y'all.
Lovely. Cool processing on the vocals.
I feel lighter,floating.
