This track started with an accident.
I started building a pattern in Elysium. When I was happy with that, I recorded a bunch of it with Live. I loop recorded with quantization. When the thing looped around, I realized that Elysium was still…
A 30 minute track (creation time).
Went for dinner with friends that were having trouble getting along.
They were in my thoughts whilst I put this together.
It starts out with trashcan drumming.. makes me want to move! Then it evolves with all the rhythmic synth layers... I likey.. If you are passively looking for input, I'd recommend thinking about how to utilize more negative space to emphasize that trash can rhythm at parts...I think you do this in a different way.. in sections rather than throughout the track.. and well, my recommendation comes with a big fat disclaimer... I tend to want to hear the wall of sound layers deferring to tribal beats :-) , Maybe gate or cut out parts of those polyrhythms on certain beats. I like the grinding end too.
A little study using Dmin6 and Dmin7 with a little D dorian dressing.

When you do this kind of track it evokes a feeling of travelling without moving.
It reminds me of being a passenger in a car on a motorway at night, slightly tired and letting the world glide, carelessly, past me.
I've always liked that feeling.

Sometimes magic happens. Sometimes it even happens to me.
Open D tuning (low to high D A D G A D). Just a practice session where I had the guts to press record.
No drugs. Just beer with dinner. Maybe they put something in the creme brule…
Started off with me just goofing around with Battery and a couple of other NI things (which are new to me) and grew into this...
It may still have places to go.
The band had all gone home, and I was left mixing what we had accumulated over the last few months of work on what is to be our "final" album. Things felt over. it seemed like we had reached a saturation point, where we had driven the car as far…
Something I'm working on. I'm a sucker for 5/4 time these days.
The biggest issue is the vocals which are sort of a placeholder right now until I re-write and re-record them, or maybe even find someone who can actually sing to lay something down!
done back in 2006, in my old dreary toronto apartment (i dislike toronto i think).
i don't really like it that much, too repetitive, but i need content up, and others have commented on their enjoyment of this particular song.
Unfortunately, I cannot show the video that accompanies this on here, but I may upload it to youtube and link to it at some point. It is an edited video of a run-through of a haunted house.
Wasting away another weekend with some scales and mode practice on the synthesizers.
all the percussion is from the Juno drum patches and my fingers.
For you folks out there who enjoy the mode stuff this is Phrygian in A
A,Bb(A#),C,D,E,F,G,(A)
I'm human....I bleed. I guess i need to remember that....I'm not superhuman and I won't save the world. The opposite usually occurs...I am swept away in the bleeding of my mind, the bleeding of my heart, my desperate needs and unholy wants…
This is my 3rd home recording. I dug it out again and cleared the moth balls.
"Tart it up a bit" as Sis would say.
I found out that if you rub a strat the wrong way, it will talk back to you. I tried many times to re-create this guitar work…
Comments on mmi's stuff
very solid beats. nice base and pads
Way cool! This really drives! Nice!
You got a great track out of it. I dig the blend of synth/guitar.
very atmospheric. I found myself staring off into the middle distance. chill
Ooh, I like my rhythm hot.

Love this!
Another one that made me come running over...wonderful, MMI, a rip yer heart out beauty.
What a wonderful feeling this evokes! Lovely!
good work..hard chords to get on the guitar..
Oh, this is delicately gorgeous!

Very nice, subtle, wonderful atmosphere. . Makes me want to get out the guitar and looper.
Damn.. it makes me want to throw this book across the room and hook up the studio proper.
super lush. It just keeps getting better.
Still a great track- hadn't heard it for a while
like the ear candy!
yeah.
Smartly wistful. No clutter. I really like it.
Wonderful, well done.

flute + ebow = magic
Yeah, next time I'm in Valles Marineris, Mars I'll definitely be coming to your gigs. Great stuff.
Found some good nuggets in them thar hills.
You've been listening to too much Thom Yorke/Radiohead. Not that there's anything wrong with that :-)
Diggin' it. Spent some time this morning listening to Yo La Tengo and this is fitting right in (hope you're not offended by the comparison).
You may not like this but I think it's a special track.
Magnum opus. Wow.
this just might be scarier without the video. good thing it's the middle of the day here
Wonderful!
Pardon the French but this is fucking awesome!
Perfect addition to my pre-caffeine Monday morning.
One of these days I'm gonna come to the Rock, drink heavily and revel in sounds just like these.
almost perfect for this particular maudlin morning
Glad I stumbled onto this. Great track.
Intense battle or intense hip-hop... Could go either way :-) Minor theory nit. Shouldn't the second note in the scale be Bb?
Wow, that's some special fooling around.
Very very cool. But I didn't have you pegged as a reggae fan. Ya think you know someone... :-)
Holy crap. Glad I didn't listen this last night.
A voice to melt the coldest of hearts.
Thanks for putting this up. 'nuff said.
