Friday evening. No plans. Life is good. No major trickery to describe. Just three tracks and a whole lotta reverb.

Ambient guitar with generous reverb served up on a bed of glitched up vocal samples. Boring technical details: Puremagnetik voxbox micropak came with a bunch of vocal clips. I put them all into live and gave them all follow actions to play…

This track started off with an idea. The idea was an instrument setup such that I could play a single note, or octave and have arps and stuff built it up... I failed in that experiment by getting carried down the add more effects road and before…

This has been something that has been struggling to get out for a while. I finally feel comfortable enough playing it to have pressed record... Boring technical details: DADGAD tuning two improvised tracks, GT-10 Studio Acoustic Guitar preset…

Another experiment. Today Eos was released. In trying it out, I found 7 random synth clips in my library (not entirely random but they might as well have been). These are fed for somewhat random durations and order through 4 Eos reverbs in…

A late night meditation. Here's the process: Started just auditioning sounds in my Live library. When I do this, I play some random chords or two note intervals; often not looking at my hands or the keyboard. That's the spark. Here I started…

Saw an add on TV for something called "Drag Me To Hell". Dunno what it is with horror films, but apparently scary music is on my mind. Thanks for helping exorcise it. The guitar part, btw, is e-bow plus slide so any tonality is an accident.

Sometimes magic happens. Sometimes it even happens to me. Open D tuning (low to high D A D G A D). Just a practice session where I had the guts to press record. No drugs. Just beer with dinner. Maybe they put something in the creme brule…

An experiment that became a meditation. Two tracks. One guitar, one looper, one e-bow, two tracks and a touch of Live's Overdrive effect on the second e-bow track. The starting premise was could I get the sound of many guitars by continually…

Had a guitar lesson today. Jammed on some chords. The chords happen to be the same as (or similar to) those in Jimi Hendrix's Hey Joe. We just chose them randomly as a basis for experimentation with different voicings. Anyway, got home and…
