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.
another one from RPM'13. I spent more than a few days working on a bunch of percussion tracks for this, only to leave them out of the final edit. Which this is not. Will upload a final version soon, but probably not before March 1st so I think…
This tune was created using two tracks of guitar I had recorded and then "mashed" together in Sony Acid :) I used this for the soundtrack for the video submitted to the 3rd Annual Sound-In Film Festival http://sound-in.org

billy boy where did you go
sittin in a pile of snow
come on down its gettin cold
for the time is getting old
well we made our way to the old wigwam
frozen lake and wind was calm
standing bow did strike a deer
to feed the tribe…
January challenge songwriting fun...
WATER UNDER WATER
So near the surface
So near the end
So near the purpose
Time and again
Just barely breathing
I’ll need you when
I’m floating in the water under water
Holding on loosely
Without letting…
Found a interesting sounding indian instrument via the computer world and strummed out chords on my lil midi guitar. Added some percussion, strings and a flute.
More ambient experimentation with my fretless guitar and Roland GR20. This time I used some sounds from the magnetic pickups as well as the midi pickup. Kind of a cheesy synth patch I know, but it was working for me!
Garn/Landry (And I barely deserve any credit for this one at all)
A while back, Jim recorded a rough version of this song, and upon listening to it, I was thrown back to a day from my youth. While vacationing in Vermont, a small twister throwing…
I got a new amplifier and instead of doing what I should have been doing I did this. It gets a little crazy in the middle and its microtonal so the vocals are gonna sound out - but I enjoyed it. Yeah, those be drum loops. 15 notes per octave.

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

You have to imagine a voluptuous lass, belly dancing with a sword balanced on her head for this one, because that's what happened.
@Kirk: Haha!
Nice, pulsing mystery.
Great album! I like how you never really know where it's going!
Yah!
Yes Kirk, I've been on a dub jag, so thought I'd give it a whirl. The weirdness at the end is a mangled patch on the Animoog iphone app. Thanks.

Great song,story, mood,& instrumentation
These improvs are great!
Very cool, gonna be a good rpm for you if this is an indication. I can hear some atmospheric guitarplay under this..
Cool!
I'm envisioning buxom bellydancers. I like this.
Love this new sonic direction you've taken. Keep on!
Somehow I missed this, musta been asleep. Thanks to Reef for pulling my coat.. this is great great!
This is really beautiful!
I enjoyed these sounds.
Great groove and good nebula to look at thru a telescope!
Wild stuff Chris!
No Terry it's all guitar! Looped, delayed and stretched..
Don't let the length scare you, shades of Fleet Foxes and Floyd here, and other interesting textures, like the oboe. Dig it.
