Same homework assignment as Intoxicating Haunt.
The assignment was to come up with something that used (my choice) of chords that contained C octave, C & C#, C & G#, C & F# where the bass moved from C, C#, G#, F#.

I checked out the web page where you are taking lessons...it's on another of your web pages that I came across on Sandbags web page. Would be nice if a school like that was around here. Looks fun.

Is that Cygnus? :) Enjoying the tracks, thanks for the comment! My computer went skewiff a few months ago so I haven't been about here in a while - starting from scratch.. I'll listen to more when I get the chance.. good stuff..
A quasi-ambient experiment with the Hypercyclic plugin.
I don't know if it's tacky to listen to your own stuff but I actually do listen to this one a lot.
i just lost someone dear to me too.
hope you are doing well..it is a necessary but horrendous struggle.
...on a positive note, what a great way to explore those feelings.
Okay so here it is, this is the blues piano piece I've been learning since **forever**. Tonight is the first time I've been able to play it through, twice, without making some kind of mistake.
That said I had to slow to 80bpm which is too slow…
24-hour album.
This album is a collage of several disconnected pieces recorded & mixed over 18 hours or so.
I've left it as a single long track, but here's a sort of navigational guide if you want to skip around:
0:00 - 1:30 = Living…
ok, volume is fixed, and the title too. Maybe soon I will mix it better or perhaps just move on to better things. Thanks to those who gave excellent advice on previous version.
and the #2 version has been deleted (actually this is #2).
itunes->preferences->playback->Sound Check
is the thing that is taking the quiet mp3 from garageband and upping the volume (it's probably normalizing; meaning it scans the file for the loudest part of the wave and adjusts the volume such that that loudest bit is at 0dB - or some other set loudness)
Little known thing in Garageband... Track->Show Master Track
Now, click the info button (bottom right). You'll see that you can apply all kinds of mastering presets here. Try some out.
Congrats on the audio interface.
Of all the days I had to get up super early, it happened to fall on the first day of spring. Also known as (fingers crossed) the worst day of spring.
I spent part of the early morning digging my car out from underneath the ice and snow. Later…
these 2 "new" songs are a test to see if I now have what I need to successfully upload material. These 2 songs were recorded 20 years ago on a Tascam 4-track. The band is the Riptiles.

At the lake we were crawling around
til our knees left bloodstains on the ground
licked our wounds and the pain went away
fell asleep at the end of a day
we dug holes and carved signs into trees
made ourselves a bed out of leaves
and in the…

I don't normally repeat myself, but when I sat down tonight…
Just messing around with voices and Yottskry. Here I am using it in Live and feeding 3 different vocal clips at a time. It's pretty slow getting going but I think it rewards (for some value of 'reward') listening all the way through.
I was…
I just finished reading Citizen Vince by Jess Walter and at one point in it the protagonist meditates a little on hearing people speak without listening... nevermind, my brain is just connecting this track with the musings of that character.
Today sucked.
I had been working on a longer post to explain it. But I'll basically just sum it up as follows [*ed. note:* consider that this was the *shorter* version. Haha]:
* I live in a part of town where noisy neighbors are a problem…
This composition is a remix/reincarnation of a [previous tune](http://alonetone.com/gcd/tracks/seven-flavors-of-milk) I wrote a while back. I wasn't ever quite satisfied with it and had neglected to incorporate a nifty additional bit of melodic…
My first serious/non-serious effort on the [Everyday Looper iPhone app](http://www.mancingdolecules.com/everyday-looper/).
Stats:
* 100% recorded through the iPhone
* probably 95% iPhone headset mic, 5% internal mic
* 98% my voice, 2% my piano…
Hmm. I guess I'm not a Husker Du superfan cause I don't get the nod (all over Bob Mould's solo stuff but that's another thing).
Regardless, lovely piece.
Comments on mmi's stuff
Bustin' out the acoustic. I gotta play with this for a bit.
I checked out the web page where you are taking lessons...it's on another of your web pages that I came across on Sandbags web page. Would be nice if a school like that was around here. Looks fun.
Actually kinda reminds me of a song from Joe Satriani called "Z.Z's song". Cool stuff!
That was fun. A+ on the homework man.
Plinkety plink! Now I can't wait for my lessons to be begin...although the idea of homework is slightly unnerving.
Beautiful and Sad...

So sorry for your loss....rememberance in song, great song
Nice! Like it! Loved your comment about listening to your own stuff. One of mine just came up in random play and I actually enjoyed it!
..so nice, tamber, texturally and time-wise.
...nice nice nice opening, friend.
yeah, i'm feeling this one.

Love that hint of spacey cello amongst the silver debris!
Deep...nice job:)
That's it- I'm calling the Fun Police. You are SOOOOO BUSTED!
great structure very clean. less is often more
Ingenious title! I'm floating through space with Jane Fonda hair and silver fingernails! (Indulge me.)
I have toy-envy.
You're telling it like it is there, mmi

Anybody that feels that "it's too late" to learn an instrument only needs to look (and listen) here. You should be proud.
Yeah, keep on it. Good fun.
I'm 18 minutes in and in awe. Gold star!

Jean Michel Jarre, eat your heart out.
beautiful (I'm trying not to scare off the birds)
Man I'd like to sit it with your band sometime.
Clearly things are very good in Valles Marineris...
Very very nice.
Was a beautiful tune the first time. Something about this version, though, I'm finding deeply moving.

Today may have sucked but your musical output was just fine.
nice! can't wait to hear how you incorporate these ideas into your show :-)
Really digging on this.
Muy awesome!
Haha, well done! Silly fun that brightened my morning.

The most charming breakdown ever :-)
To paraphrase Sister: *Waves glowstick side to side*
Dig it! A little like Warm Leatherette as realized by Brainiac.
