A little ditty that came out of playing with the new step sequencer function recently added to the Ableton Push.
Additional processing provided by some Nomad Factory plugins I recently picked up. See here for more info:

Glitchatom-1 is the first in a series of experimental pieces where I'm trying to learn about glitching and get more familiar with Reaktor.
In this piece I'm using Peter Dines [Frankenloop ensemble](http://kore.noisepages.com/2008/06/20/introducing…
Well the votes are in and nobody, who has commented, seems to think I have offended against Satie with this. That's kind of cool because this really is one of my favourite pieces of music and one that I hope, one day, to be able to play myself…
This is a track I started on the ferry over to Wales for a little holiday a couple of weeks back.
* Drums are from Ableton Suite's Session Drums
* Bassline is an patch I created in Live's Analog synth
* Guitar is me playing through Guitar…
Traditional Irish - Arranged by Doug Sparling
Based on a recording by Na Casaidigh.
Played late at night, as a lullaby of sorts. Now go to sleep, little child...

A song written for my dear old friend, Kirk Lynch, who I've known for almost 20 years. For those who don't know, Kirk and I live less than an hour apart, but I swear it's been five years since we've seen each other in person, which just ain't…
Guitar loop from 2008. First loop where I bounced between different tracks instead of building part upon part. Flawed, but for better or worse, I rarely record something twice (why I left in the pop in the initial bed loop, I have no idea - well…
We celebrate the passing of a great musical instrument. Hobart M. Cable, the piano lent to us this summer, is going back to his kind owner, Danny. He will be dearly missed.
We hastily wrote this little ditty in his last few hours in our possession…
Similar in feel to the other Fragile Moment track. Mostly acoustic guitars recorded sitting in my shop on the H4N and then finished up in Cubase just this morning. September 9 09. Maybe a nice one for bedtime
Shaken, not stirred please.
Experimenting more with sandbags' Elysium. This time I used it to trigger elephant samples for part of the percussion section.
Just working out some rhythms. Toucans come in at about 1 minute.. wish I could get the sound onto vinyl for some proper scratching. I used Sandbags' awesome generative sequencer Elysium for some of the ambient and lower pitched toucans. The lead…
This is my second experiment with "song form".
In this case I tried out probably the simplest form: "IABABCABE" where I - intro, A - verse, B - chorus, C - break, E - end.
Although I'm not sure if the verse is supposed to build into the…
The song was constructed around a field recording of Lacandon men paddling across the lake in Métzabok, Chiapas (Southern Mexico). The Lacandon speak "Hach T'an," which is a Mayan dialect-- this is the language you hear in the track. Unfortunately…
Recorded August 28, 2009
Details: Martin D1 (DADFGC - capo II), Shure SM57, Audacity, Sound Forge.
After digging this tune up really I really wanted to try it again on acoustic (which I don't play much). This is a second take recorded in…
Plucking of the "wrong side of the strings" on my jazz guitar. Rhythm made with an espresso machine.
I tried to do 2 main things here:
1) Create harmony with spoken voice, via pitch shifting (Did the first part of the program disturb you…
Just another quick test of the yet unnamed RobRokkenAudio plug in... with a scary clown. Hey kids! Rememeber the 80's? Awwww, that's ok, neither does Uncle Bobo...
Comments on mmi's stuff
Dig that dub!
Full bass rattling my whole house here, cool effects, I likey.
Cool groove. It picks up nicely.
Like it!!
Nice and dark- I like!
Wow! This is intense. Even in a well lighted room!
When the guitar comes in it sounds killer. Fav'd
Cool. I'll be following along. I kind of do the same thing every week over at Sound-In.
Totally dig this. w:-)
Good one.
Neat! That's a unique take on a 1-4-5 progression
This is very sweet.
Very cool little ditty!
Nice mood.
floating..
Probably not the best track to listen to in the morning when I'm supposed to be getting up and getting ready for work! Well done!
Can't help but smile!
Very nice! Love the textures
Very interesting. I like it! Great job!
Savory sweet!

Mess?!? I'd say the net result is genius. Super super cool.
Sacrilege? Bah. This is technological art in the finest tradition. Inspired.
Good stuff! Like the contrast between the dark bass and the "happy" guitar.
lmao. When your tourbus makes a stop in Toronto, I want to know.
With a guitar lesson? Too cool! I know what I'll be doing when the snow starts flying.
Inspiring. If you don't finish it, I might :-)
A gem made more precious by the loss.
Yay for single take wonders. A beautiful gift indeed.
Feature indeed.
Brilliant. Wow. And yay for mumsie!
oh yeah... oh yeah... oh yeah... Deeply chilled and sweet.
Makes my eyes moist. Quietly stunning.
Wow. A true artist in our midst.
Dunno why but this one is special.
I think it needs some elephant :-) Awesome nonetheless.
Go away for a little while and look what happens. Well done indeed.
Once again you've done something very special. Props.
Beautiful. And since you mention it, I don't think that there's anything wrong with the recording.
This is very special. I really love the canon/chord you built from the First Part sample.
Holy coulrophobia, Batman!
