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.
Just a basic dance track because its just fun to bounce around sometimes. Also another excuse to use a growly bass sound... a "60 Hz Hum Bass" soundfont I had clearly neglected for too long.

I came up with the main bass riff on my electric bass, but after recording it I was unhappy with the tone, so I used a sampled upright bass. On top of that is a layer of doodling "lead guitar" (played on my bass), a dreamy semi-harsh organ sound…
I mostly wanted to make music with a funky clav line I'd come up with, so this is it. For the voiceover, I unabashedly used an awesome monologue by Ken Nordine.

So I just figured out that the EXS24 sampler instrument in Logic Pro (the DAW I use) can also import SoundFont2 files, which I happened to have a bunch of from a previous life as a Cakewalk user. All the tracks in this tune were played using old…

Sorry About The Quality of the recording on this one...
A Friend of Mine (64Guitars From Songcrafters. Org ) challenged me to write a song about a subject (a Secret....Lol)....
This was finished 45 mins Later...
Will be Good for me on Open…
My first attempt at doing a songfight (songfight.org).
Though I've known what the title was for a week+, I finally decided to write the thing the night before it was due.
PROCRASTINATORS REPRESENT!
Sounds like you had a good time writing and performing this. Maybe I'll check out songfight.org sometime, but I'll most likely keep putting it off indefinitely. :)
My first serious/non-serious effort on the [Everyday Looper iPhone app](http://www.mancingdolecules.com/everyday-looper/).
Stats:
* 100% recorded through the iPhone
* probably 95% iPhone headset mic, 5% internal mic
* 98% my voice, 2% my piano…
I spent 15 hours composing and playing this or, I should rather say, this is the sole product of 15 hours of sitting with Live & my piano.
I think there is the kernel of something good in it (and I intend to explore that later) but the…
Another ambient noodle for this weekends 24 in 24.
The process:
- record a bunch of Plinkton (iphone app)
- dupe the tracks a couple of times, screw with the warping tempo
- add camelphat to one, camelspace to the other, leave the third alone…
An ambient anthemic piece.
The process:
- Start with a live take of me playing an iphone app called tonepad.
- add camelphat and camelspace
- add an Alchemy instance, find a big fat pad, work out a riff
- record a single take accompanying the…
The fourth piece in my 'Dissolving into Noise' collection IV was made entirely with my new Reaktor instrument "Yottskry" (see the [demo video](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KEjtiTeR8w8) for more info on Yotskry).
I used Yotskry standalone…
Worked on this track for a *long* time. Learnt a lot but it's time to call it done and move on to something else. Am pretty happy with it all in all.
Sounds include samples of me clapping and the Snowdon steam train heavily processed with Ableton…
I guess this would be the "centerpiece" of the album. Like the rest of the album it really stumbles along the line between droney and simply repetitive, and it needs a bit of a reworking to reach its potential.
Wonderful track! Don't worry about it being "droney" or "repetitive"... you definitely have enough dynamics and other things going on to maintain interest throughout the entire tune. I wouldn't mind hearing the percussive elements a tad higher in the mix, but not by much. Good choice of timbres, too. *favorited and followed* :)
I recently bought the Imperfect Samples [Braunschweig Upright](http://www.imperfectsamples.com/website/samples/braunschweig/braunschweiguprightpiano.php) (Pro) sampled piano for Kontakt after falling in love with the sound of the demos.
I have…
I can completely appreciate this tune, not just because its for the RPM challenge, but also because the message is an important one that I feel more people should hear and share. Very fun track!
This Track is Part of an Anti Gang/knife Crime initiative that is running in an East London School.
The Pupils will make tracks Similar to this during the course, to try and send a message out..
To stop Youth Violence......
Wish us luck
Peace…
Hi folks,
It's good to back after RPM and the blackout of 2010.
A couple firsts here. I recorded this 100% with the computer. I never plugged in to a computer before.
I've always used a Roland VS machine and burnt my
songs/tracks to SCSI…
Comments on Galileo's Cough Drop's stuff
Et Hoc Genus Omne ....t he album cover is the best. lol.
wow
and I do mean it's really good.
I faved this the other day. But I should say - this is really, really well done.
Love the opening riff.
This is kind of like updated Ken Nordine, only more non-sequitorial.
This is like a frisky alien photoshoot. One of *those* photoshoots.
That growling bass really is nice. *Dare I ask, what did you use to make it?.* The mix is satisfyingly solid and clean. ***head bobbing happily*** :)
I'll look into that webspace thing soon. It sounds like a good idea.
Cosmic!
I have to admit that Galileo's Cough Drop is a really cool name.
this sounds like the cough drop in Galileo's mouth probably tastes.
haha, be my guest at adding layers to the roach track. Let me know if you want a wav file for it. I'd like to see what you can add to.
Aptly titled! Dig the bass sound!
Freaking Awesome!!!
Absolutely brilliant. Just amazing!
Ooh, very cool! Agree with Kirk!
Very Nice! Love your use of the bass as a melodic instrument. Reminds me a bit of some old Renaissance cuts from back in the 70's
That bass is something else! *Me like* :)
My goodness, I can't imagine the hard work that went into this. Headphones everyone sit back, let it flow over you and enjoy.

Sung from the heart. Very nice!
Love this! Raw, powerful, and rockin'... and that solo fits perfectly.
The lyrics and guitar blend well together. Definitely not bad for 45 minutes!

This is *tons* of fun. Love it! :D
Haunting and moody, with wonderful tone and reverberation. I'd definitely love to hear what else you come up with if you do extend on this.
Another nice result. I don't think I'd end up with something this enjoyable to listen to if I tried a 24in24!
This has a great flow to it that feels very natural, and the choices of sonic elements are fantastic. Nice work!
This would sound happy without seeing the title... but the title kind of makes it creepy! Well done. :)
Nice and simple. Very pleasant listen. Bravo!
Fascinating sounds. Really intriguing listen!
Nice track! Lots of fun bouncy bits to listen to.
Another great, emotive tune. Excellent work.

Definitely a great piano sound. I'd be pretty happy with that, too!

I like that style of laid-back rapping. Very cool.
Sounds like you had a great time (and quite a learning experience!) making this tune. Congrats on putting it all together nicely!
Listening to this again... I'm reminded of some of the better tracks by Tangerine Dream. Wonderful!
Beautiful. I like the guitar part. Ha! The reversed guitar swells are a pretty cool touch.
