More MIDI. More synths.

More MIDI. Having fun with synths.

MIDI shenanigans in Reaper.

Dorking around with MIDI. Sample Track 3 plugin in Reaper.

Can't remember where the chord sequence came from. (Maybe Loblolly later in the album?) Programmed drums and keys, me on guitar and bass, and my old robot friends on vocals.

Just how my brain works: nine lines and nine columns in a Sudoku puzzle... Take a six-string guitar and 3/4 of a bass, and that's nine strings. The number in each box is both the fret number and the number of quarter notes to hold. Puzzle number…

Ham-fisted Primus mimicry with robot vocals in place of my voice. Drum loops, but me on bass and guitar.

Programmed drums and pawn shop guitar through plugins.

Obviously built on a crappy Dillinger Escape Plan knockoff. Was messing around with the pawn shop guitar and programmed drums, and it just happened. :) Added the second guitar track and bass after I got home.

Manipulated "field" recordings, either from the hotel room or from the studio, after I got back.
