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.

MMi wrote the song. I programmed percussion, recorded tabla and vocals.
Is it cool to favourite collabs you're involved in?
Anyway, glu did all the heavy lifting here. It's like Santa Claus visited last night and left the best presents at my house!
This is quite an old track that got abandoned because I didn't feel it was right or going anywhere.
But listening to it in iTunes this morning I thought it passed muster. I don't think it has enough variation to justify it's length but it's gently…
This one almost got abandoned, I didn't seem to be getting anywhere with it.
It started as I was looking for a sound for another track (which really isn't getting anywhere) and I came across a chime sound that I thought would be lovely with a…
Never throw anything you've created away.
I've come close and always been happy about keeping stuff later.
As to this track, supercool. Especially when that buzzy thing comes sweeping through. Awesome.
Increasingly I think the music I am making is less about sound design and more about expressing some of the things inside of me that want out. I guess I may be starting to know what I want.
This one started with a beat (using Stylus RMX to…
So far the comments have been about the sounds and their scariness. For me, however, the magic comes from those sounds used with a fairly funky and happy motif. The juxtaposition is very cool. Strange as it sounds, I hear a dub influence (cue you saying WTF?!?)
written, recorded, mixed, and bounced in 30 minutes. Just a brainstorm.
Instrumentation: acoustic guitar, tabla, rattle, tambourine, claps, kick sample.

Honestly I have no idea where this came from or how.
I was messing with Omnisphere patches and came across a lovely, flutey, breathy sound that put me in mind of the scenes inside the monolith at the end of 2001. I setup a Rytme pattern to…
more morning underwear recording/remixing sessions.. this one a bit depressing maybe? I recorded a noisy thunderstorm in the morning last week and yesterday recorded guitar played by violin bow. The result is this messy and hopefully evocative…
Something completely different- Uilleann pipes(Irish bagpipes) and synth. I wrote this tune over 20 years ago in the style of traditional Irish slow airs. It was recorded way back in 1991 for an album that's been out of print for over 15 years…

Space Trumpet was an excuse to try out my new plugin "Little Spacey" from Expert Sleepers and also to exercise the Kore sounds from Acoustic Refractions.

the first multi track piece that I actually finished "in the box" in Cubase. An ambient kinda thing that grew out of playing around with the Line 6 DL4. Not sure I like the bow parts, but I may re do it later
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.
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.
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

Beautiful. Haunting. Too short. Love to hear this developed.

A very cool track.

this one's going places can't wait to find out where...

woah, multiple movements, all very cool, is that a subtle steel drum I hear?
Very cool and just a teeny bit harmonically challenging. Awesome.
This is one super awesome set.
Weee! We might have to rename the site to frighttone.com
You definitely have something here. But was that ending intentional? Want more.
what glu said... times ten *sits stunned*
You are a master. I am grasshopper.
Ab minor my new favourite key! Well done! Totally fits with my mood at the end of this tiring day...
It's everything you said it would be. Wow.
Genius in 3D. Love the way the bass part sits back in the mix.
I love the twist in your genius.
dark wave ambient wonder
Holy crap this is AWESOME! Yay for alonetone Radio "Songs you haven't heard" for bringing me here.
A thing of beauty. Especially the bow parts :-)
