The keyboard sound in the second half is a backwards electric piano processed through a triggered filter (kind of like a Mutron III).
Muted the vocals cos I'm not too pleased with the lyrics or performance.

ambient, Ambien, muy bien.
*opens window and takes deep breath*
Backwards electric piano through a ring modulator and an echo, then processed to death in WaveLab.
Recorded in 2008.
Fuzz guitar through an old DDL into a pitch transposer, recorded in one pass with no edits or overdubs.
Just a minute noodle doodle, really, but it's gonna go somewhere.
Honest!

This dark reggae tune has been hanging around in my "works in progress" folder for a while, but I was finally inspired to complete it when I borrowed a guitar from my friend Joe. Thanks, Joe!

Found this one while clearing out the cobwebs prior to the 2011 RPM Challenge. It appears to be as finished as its going to get, sooo... here it is.
In short: a quirky love song for our cybernetic brothers and sisters who dance to a different beat.
Recorded in 2009 for the RPM Challenge.
Joe Silence - flying slide guitars, tweaked beatbox, spastic echo torture and toy keyboard mutilation
This was recorded to cassette 4-track and then dumped to DAW for clean-up and mixing.
Recorded and mixed by Joe Silence at Spit Recorders in 1998.
I deny any responsibility for the lyrics.
Tom Higgins - vocal
Joe Silence - guitars, bass and foley
(can't remember his name!) - drums
I would do a new mix of this (to remedy…
This is the first outing of a new granular re-synthesis based Reaktor ensemble I am working on codenamed "BD".
The track is generated by 4 instances of the ensemble (playing different samples), panned by CamelSpace, with lashings of Valhalla…
Felt the need to go back to something more sound driven.
I've been learning a lot of new Jazz chords and wondered what they might sound like as pads. I ended up creating a device chain in Ableton Live featuring Alchemy, Omnisphere, and Absynth…
An ambient guitar piece done rather quickly, warts and all.
Stems from ideas I've been developing on my new JamMan looper pedal (catnip for guitarists if there ever was such a thing).
Comments on Big Joe Silence's stuff
Any song about sherpas gets a +1.
Ooh retro! Cool expressive vox - and great airy arrangement!
Like it! Nice guitar sounds
Very Nice! Cool interlude in the middle!
Bute!
Ooh pretty cool - maybe an album opener?
(Liking the spoken word part in the middle as well - works really nicely.)
Cool, fluid, music bed (maybe like an audio water bed!) - looking forward to hearing the vocal version!
Comments made by Big Joe Silence
this sounds positively haunted. really digging it.
@sluggthesickpuppy: i'd play it on guitars if it lent itself to being played on guitar. if you want to tackle it, be my guest.
YAH! evocative. what did you use for this?
ohh, chill-out time!
Ooohhhh, yeeeeaaah...!
thank you, Mr. Cowser!
*waves hands with outstretched fingers* the colours...!
i like how blown out it all sounds, like cheap mixer abuse. fur and hair! *twitches on floor*
if i left this on repeat all night i might take up painting again. this is a good thing.
@SS: thanks! @BL: i think it was Sleep Lab? failed to complete in both 2009 and 2010. right now i'm using the name Joe Silence and plan to keep it.
Actually, I was wrong about the date. This recording was done in 1998, not 2001.
i like it. *calls therapist for crisis counselling*
it's often the imperfections that make art come alive. digging this.
love this! what tuning did you use?
enjoyed this. wish i'd been there to applaud. also, i went to that church until sometime in 1982. apparently it was very different back then. :D
loving the sounds and atmosphere. i gotta listen again.
I think i could listen to this all day.
This is making me float away. Really loving this.
love this!
