Start of this reminds me of the music/sound effects from Dead Space the game. Sweet! Its like being lost in an endless void with nowhere to go. But if that was the case and this was playing, Im pretty sure I would be OK :)
A long meditation/wank.
This weeks guitar lesson we started looking at melodic minor modes. I went home and started practicing scales. Wasn't long before I got stuck on Dorian flat 2. So I fired up the looper and recorded a session.
Funny…

A little study using Dmin6 and Dmin7 with a little D dorian dressing.

Today I gave a quickie demo of Live to my guitar instructor. I started with an empty set and threw some crap at the wall just to show him one of the work flows.
Later, when I brought the thing home I couldn't leave well enough alone and started…
Another track without a plan. I was supposed to be doing something else, but I was stalling...
Electronically, I used only Ableton instruments on this one in the effects stew I used Eos, Replicant, BigSeq2, and LiveCut in addition to the Live…
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...

I almost got into a dream like state. Awesome song man!
Every time I listen to your music, I gotta start recording. Sorry to comment twice. :D
nice. I like this a whole bunch.
Pretty cool.
Appropriate title. It's always difficult to find the right words and this music worked perfectly.
I haven't yet told you how sorry I am... And this is a beautiful tribute to a genuine emotion, captured painfully well.
We have just lost someone we thought was a friend - poignant piece, it makes me want to weep. Thank you!
Cool sounds man! Gotta love new toys
Well done, from the heart. Let their memory live on in this.
Oh Yea, the new gadgets and gizmos paid off nicely. ~Geas
Kick ass!!!! This is great.
Melancholy and touching.
Really sorry for your loss. This is a beautiful expression of how you feel
Definitely diggin this.
Underwater conference!
Some very cool sounds you've come up with here!
All lovely and bubbly!
:)

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!
