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…
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!
613 is a prime number, 136 is triangular, and 361 is a square number - I didn't know what to name it ( but I wrote a math book once called Mathematical Bliss). Anyone want to put some metal vocals on this?
i wish i could improvise over different chord changes like John Coltrane and Charlie Parker
and Bud Powell, but mostly i just have to stay in one key, and it's kind of a bummer...
A bit of improv done yesterday with my newly refurbished fretless guitar. Finally got the midi pickup to track almost right! Part of the sounds were gotten by rubbing a teaspoon on the strings.
Didnt mean to have a political slant but had just got denied my large order soft drink in Manhattan.
All thats left are the small sodas with the "NY loves big cans" tee shirts

Very pleasurable.
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.
