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…
Gurgling, bubbling, churning.
This is the last track of the March 2010 24 hour challenge.
The process...
- find some interesting synth sounds (have collected many)
- work out some basic chords
- do some filtering
- add two tracks of e-bow…
A happy kind of electro pot-pourri.
The process:
- find a sound, noodle in Ab
- find another sound, develop a compatible noodle
- repeat a couple of times
- program a beat
- add replicant
- find other sounds for a B section
- find more sounds…
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…

it's always a pleasure to listen to your work MMI. I dig how you incorporate anything you wish into your music. You've got an open mind and this allows you to express yourself so beautifully in your aural creations.
Where's all this sappy music coming from? The Olympics were on. I must have been watching too much figure skating or something.
Unmastered track from my 2010 RPM Challenge submission.

Helplessly
But then sometimes in the colorless light of a hazy windy moonlit night, the feeling haunts you like you've known that you would always be alone.
But then sometimes in the sparkling sun, you think of things you should have done…
An experiment in using [Photosounder](http://photosounder.com/) which is a spectral editing tool.
This track started as a sharp tin can hit which I turned into a droning gong. But I had no idea where to go next.
So I started rifling through…
Like CS said, VERY COOL. And I don't have a clue what you're talking about in your description (probably cause I'm old and unhip).
Inspired me to make some odd guitar noises too.
I swore that I would NEVER upload this. Was having a bad day trying to loop "nice" acoustic guitar sounds and got frustrated so grabbed my Taylor and plugged it into a cheesy Effects box and straight into the looper. Started twiddling knobs and…

Ok, I have decided to put it here. It is a stretch containing several ideas, it falls apart here and there (especially at 3:10), but I think the atmosphere shines through.
Hope I can return to it in a couple of weeks (when my head is clear…
I happened to be in MD one summer when the 17 year cicadas came out to make their noise. Walking around I felt I was on the set of an old sci-fi flick set on an alien planet.
This brought me back.
So Far to Get
Fire on the look-out
he's got me shakin'
Watch me blow it now.
Fire on the lookout,
It's got me changing
what, me worry now?

love your 24 and the perfect album cover too.
I dig all of these. A fantastic 24 hour effort. And I second what Kirk said, I want to be a fly on the wall in your studio! :)
Retrohappytastic with maybe a little bitterretrosweet also.
Oh my.
Beautiful choice of voices in here - very beautiful in fact. I can feel the sun shining in the garden of my sonic dreams.
Another nice result. I don't think I'd end up with something this enjoyable to listen to if I tried a 24in24!
Nice! Bits of this remind me of some of the more electronic stuff that Anthony Phillips did back 30 years ago
This has a great flow to it that feels very natural, and the choices of sonic elements are fantastic. Nice work!
Really like this one! Lovely track!
Yay! Let's hear it for apps. Like this a lot.
Strange and understated, I really love this.
very cool man. very, very cool!
The recipe obviously worked! Great stuff man. Wish I could be a fly on the wall for a day in your studio

Whoa horse! Heavy MMI. I like this one man. Real cool sound.
Nice, I enjoyed this. You should paint yourself into corners more often!
Beautiful one man!
this is beautiful... I really love this, thank you.
MMI, there can never be too much figure skating.
very nice album!

holy crap; chance discovery (for me) teh awesome!
A special collection you have here. Somehow I just discovered it. Duh.
Quietly inspiring. Bravo.
Very interesting. I'd be interested to hear more about your approach.
Smacked this right out of the park!
mmmmmmmmmmm mmmm mmmmmmm like
Beautiful and moody. Just the way I like it.
haha, wicked indeed. And fun.
Masterful work.
If this is mediocre, I fear your best.
good fun!
Wow! Very nice indeed.
two capos? need pictures. The track? Inspiring as always.
Some cheese is very tasty. :-)
Dude, sweet!

I love the way you captured that 80s guitar/bass sound that I loved so much in early Cure/Joy Division/New Order. Makes me swoon.
