Plugged my Kaiser Electrical Instruments Drone Stack and Hypno-Drone into my interface, fired up Reaper, and hit Record. Decided to split the 2-minute Drone Stack track in two and pan it hard left and right, just to save the listener some time…

Once again, waited till the very last minute, played around with a couple of new-to-me apps on my iPad, and sent the resulting noises through some plugins in Reaper. Fun stuff!

Played around with a couple of new-to-me plugins on my equally new-to-me tablet, then connected a little USB interface to make sure the guitar signal would come through. Fun little 10-minute diversion that turned into a just-shy-of-2 minute "soundscape…

Built an Omri Cohen patch idea in VCV Rack, recorded a couple of takes, then edited and arranged the results in Reaper.

Some of the Collective got together at the studio on the last Saturday in April (the first chance we'd had that month!) to record some stuff. After putting down some tracks with the group for another song, Dan and I (Kevin) jammed to a click track…

This one was quite a journey! Robbie recorded the main guitar parts and a couple of vocal takes on his own, then invited the group to come up with additional parts. On 2/17, after we’d finished up recording a bunch of other stuff (including…

Short MIDI piece inspired by one of our sweet cats. :)

DAW plugin drums, live guitar and bass. I don't really hate everything. Mostly just the sound of my own voice.

Created using MuseScore 4 and an instrument from the LABS collection. Bits and pieces reminded me of the old Tron video game, so the name of this one was almost "Arcade".

Input the chord sequence from a Spice Rack Collective song I wrote on guitar, converted a bass take from that song into MIDI, added a couple of VSTs, programmed some drums, and added some royalty-free voice samples I found online somewhere. Pretty…

Created in Reaper using the Fission A instrument set from Triple Spiral Audio.

This is in some boring typical genre. I just can't figure out which one. Perhaps Wiccan dances for epileptics? Not sure. In Cold Hell, in Thicket is a microtonal musical setting of Charles Olsen reading his poem in 1950 as provided by PennSound…

Trial run after rearranging some electronic doodads on my side desk, most notably the pictured Drone Stack and HypnoDrone from Kaiser Electrical Instruments in lovely Duluth, MN. Recorded at the end of a rare week-long ice event in north Alabama.

Finally got around to connecting several electronic items on my side desk - Kawai R-50e drum machine from around 1995, Fostex X-18 4-track tape recorder from a couple of years earlier than that (I think), a Korg volca keys from 2021, and a handful…
