I came up with the initial rhythmic riff on my bass, then looped it to create the basis for this track. Then, I layered another "lead" bass track on top of that, added some percussion, and finally topped it off with an electric piano-ish sound…
I imagine this music playing in a bar sometime in the future, probably in the background while cybernetic bar patrons interface with one another in full view of the world's sensor network.

Rough mix of a work in progress that has been gestating since late May 2013. still working out the lyrics/vocal parts. dunno if there will eventually be keys and/or synths.
"Danse Macabre (first performed in 1875) is the name of opus 40 by French composer Camille Saint-Saëns."
synths used:
- Korg DW-8000
- Roland D-50
- Emu Proteus 1000
the last time i will EVER do this much tedious MIDI sequencing. so over it…
That sounds like a lot of work. Probably a great learning experience, but yeah I imagine you're not interested in doing that sort of thing again anytime soon!
Despite your adversarial attitude towards robots, I enjoyed this tune a lot. Let the record show that I, for one, welcome my eventual robot overlords and will refuse to fight them unless they instruct me to do so in order to amuse other robots.
This is a live cut from an NPR radio broadcast back in 1988 while my Irish Trad group Scartaglen was on one of its first east coast tours. Found recently on a cassette tape. Musically this was one of my favorite periods in the history of the band…
This is a minor blues I wrote for the quintet Equilibrium in 2010. I wrote it to impress my red headed girlfriend who I had just started dating at the time.
First demo of the finished Novaphone 340 Grand instrument (v1.0.4) including some of the sample content that will be released with the final instrument. In this case I used 5 samples of a Reaktor based drone generator by [nofi](http://soundcloud…

Music & Lyrics written by Angie Fights Crime.
there's a bomb in the back
as we head down the tracks
but we can only go so fast
there's a man on our trail
pack of dogs with no tails
this kind of excitement…
Inspired by the french movie titled "The Element Of Crime." This is basically a night in the studio for some musical therapy via studio jam with myself.
Sometime yesterday, sandbags posted "In the Ocean of Night".
Fuelled by a lovely walk and some pints, I was inspired to make some additions.
Technical/process details:
Guitar was my Michael Kelly going into GT-10 which had compressor, delay…
The title came to me as I was listening to the track and was reminded of looking through [Savage's](http://alonetone.com/sistersavage) telescope at a starry sky and us being completely unable to figure out how to get it aligned :)
The title itself…
Nice! I really like this so far. Only suggestions I have are to try messing with the sound of your synth lead with more than just pitch bend, e.g. instead of pitch bend sometimes try jacking with the resonance or cutoff, modulation/LFO, or using other effects briefly (echo/delay, different eq levels of hi/lo-pass filters, etc.)
This is the first piece made with a Reaktor instrument I built today that I have called "Xylo".
Xylo is a sampler that plays a region of the sample back and forth with a 10s release time. Each note defines a region of a different length (but…
this is the mix so far, pending a new vocal to replace the guide and a 12-string part.
maybe a bit of piano?
lyrics from the muted vocal are about seeing the ex you upended your life to help out in the arms of another. cheery!
tik-tok…
I like how the bass and drums are mixed in this. Sounds like some of the snare hits weren't synced up with the bass a few times, but should be fairly easy to fix.
tracked 7 years ago, in the same vein as "A Brain Haemorrhage Would Be A Birthday Present".
-modified toy keyboard into a resonant filter with LFO mod into a Boss DD-3 DDL pedal, all tweaked as part of the performance.
-beat is from an old…
I wish I could say that I had a story behind this but I have none :( Thanks to all those that put their input into this, particularly GCD, I cannot overstate how helpful this was.
Comments on Galileo's Cough Drop's stuff
Very very nice way to start my day.
Like this one a lot, it's got a haunting quality to it.
Your headache isn't transmitted to the listeners, trust me, this is quite something, a very pleasant listen. :)
Bass is fantastic, mix is just fine on my end. Groovy man! ~Geas
hey, sorry i've been so distant ;) I really enjoyed this track. i've got to check out some more of your songs. regards, b
Dude, you are a vampire... And I've been bitten!
This is Amazingly Good!
Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!! This is Killer!!!!!!!!!! Freaking Awesome!
dreamy and Holds Your attention all the way Through! Like this a lot!!
Killer Groove!
Hooked from The Start! You Got Me for 6 Minutes Now... 25 secs in... Yep ....Its a Fav..
Scary good! That piano sound in unison with the bass is fabulous
You asked for criticism but I can't give you any. I can only echo dAb and Sister's comments; this is great.
Oh my. Beautiful!
This is superb, a really enjoyable listen. :)
I think I'll be making a few (hopefully minor) changes to this, maybe adding something else to develop the tune a little more.
Gorgeous! *Favourited & Followed* :)
Lush! This is really nice. :)
Tantalising intro melts in to a track filled with magic and wonderful energy! Love it!
Nice! This would be fun to just keep adding layers to.

Nice groove!
Oh man, I love this. Tastefully overdriven, and some bits that very pleasantly remind me of some Raymond Scott experimental sound generators.
I dig it. Has an epic feel.

Simple and propulsive. A wonderful combination.

What a great way to start catching up on my listening backlog! Really enjoyed listening to this.
Very nice! Well-played, too.
Atmospheric! Made me nostalgic for some old Tangerine Dream albums. (That's a good thing.)
Nice! Brilliantly executed, sir.
Relaxing. Fit today's mood perfectly, thanks!
Fun with wah. I dig it. :)
Fantastic complement to the original track!
Ethereal bells and grit! Can't go wrong with that, IMO. Wonderful instrument you've created, Mr. Bags.

Nice soundscape. Shimmer was a great addition!

That's a nice burble you got there, mister. I like what you did with it. :)
I like when this settles down into an epic drone. Unfortunately, it sounds like the aliens also have houseflies! Or perhaps ARE houseflies. Hrmm.
I like your rework! Feeling much more solid. :D
