Recently, my wife and I discovered the TV show Portlandia, and it has become our Saturday morning ritual to watch the latest episode with our coffee. Anyways, I kind of got the theme song (http://www.ifc.com/fix/2011/02/portlandia-whats-that…
This evolved out of an exercise in a workbook I just got on music composition. The original task was to write a melody in the Dorian mode about water...
This track is actually 99.583333% M.T.C. But, I needed an easy project for July, since I didn't have a lot of time last month. He had published it as a "B-Side" called "Quarter of a 60th Spanish." For fun, I just added a few subtle twists. Probably…
Taking a breather from a few other projects and fired up some drum loops. 3 hip hop beats at 80 bpm. Funny how they just line up like that.
I added some 70's disco synth and some spooky sounds and Bingo.......spooky hip hop.
Go figure.....
really nice album/playlist. wonderful contemplative stuff... usually relaxing, sometimes sad, always interesting... some really nice, peculiar harmonies in some of the tracks... enjoyed it a lot! :)
Reg's little homage to Elizabeth Taylor who passed away today, the piano is a little dodgy and the lyrics and the singing in parts as i'm following my dodgy playing, it will have to be revisited but i thought i'd share anyway as i would forget…
Cover of the Joy Division classic, with a little drum'n'bass thrown into the mix

The youtube version is my original recording going back to 1997.

'in the home late at night
just as I turn out the lights
I hear a voice from the wall
it says it has heard it all
it holds the secrets of the home

cool song - well done!! if jim morrison and rufus wainwright and jim morrison spliced their DNA, their spawn would probably sing a song something like this :)
not really a ghost in my house it just badly needs rewiring.
There’s a ghost in my house
That we can’t see
Moving things around
When we’re not here
Playing little tricks
On my memory
Playing little games
With my mind

nice song here. in the future, you might want to rethink the filming locations for your videos, though ;)
i enjoyed your whole album, you have a very nice voice.
bloody kids eh?
my oldest asked if i would remove the dirty animal video from youtube because "it's embarrassing dad"!
i asked my girls to sing the chorus but they where too embarrassed lol.

this is one for the over fifties
we strolled along
lost avenues
with no regrets

the drum sounds are just basic samples included with FL Studio. i normally never use them, but in this case they actually sound a lot like the drums in the original track. at least to me :)
If Ennio Morricone and Dr. Dre smoked a buttload of crack and decided to collaborate, except that one of them thought he was writing a soundtrack for the Godfather Part 11, and the other for Phantom of the Opera, Part 2, The Unwanted Sequel…
Reg was talking to Elvis about Frank and he told him something he didn't know.you can have it all then at the end not remember it which is what happened to Frank the grind ground him down a sad ending for a great man......Dementia is a cruel end…
very nice album. i love synthesizers and wooden flutes. and how you have combined them so brilliantly. you inspire me to learn to play the navajo flute i bought many years ago... :)

Comments on Djörk's stuff
Sorry it took me 11 to check this out (no internet connection)...sounds good!
Groovin on this one tonight
This and djorklandia sound like movie music to me. Grand landscapes and epic travel shots.
Nice -- this sounds fantastic through headphones. I like how the bass is clearly separated out from the higher instruments.
:)
Wow! This is great! I heard the version with MTC, but missed the original
amazing! so cool this came from a workbook exercise...
fantastic track, nice work!
wow, awesome!
excellent, so musical! wish i could compose stuff like this...
trip thru space, I like the change ups throughout. Nylon? guitar bit is a great addition to the various textures here.
Oh Yes! This is excellent!
Far out indeed. Nice work.
Excellent arrangements
Awesome-O :)
Dig the name, (nylon guitar?) - Far out, man!
Woo - lots happening in here. Cool sounds. Nice one.
Great groove and good nebula to look at thru a telescope!
