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.

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.
a field recording/sound collage from last Saturday at the Fort Worth MOMA. Sounds inside the Serra sculpture Vortex, and the African percussion/dance ensemble Jumbie.
Some guy called me back in college when I had a particularly odd outgoing message on my answering machine. He left me a message in return and I kept it all these years, finally putting it to some use.

Felt the need to go back to something more sound driven.
I've been learning a lot of new Jazz chords and wondered what they might sound like as pads. I ended up creating a device chain in Ableton Live featuring Alchemy, Omnisphere, and Absynth…
This is a solo piano piece performed on a M-Audio 88es driving pianoteq which was re-tuned to Gene Ward Smith's 17 per octave equal beating dwarf(<17 27 40|). The piece was originally recorded in pianoteq using the standalone mode and then…
Out on the lawn there arose such a clatter!
Sometimes, as they say, Christmas do come early. I found Johnny Stone's "Christmas Rock In Oz" under the tree and couldn't wait until Yuletide to unwrap it. What a rockin' gift! I know a bit about…
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.

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.

in the vernacular of the kidz, TEH AWESOME!
Really neat stuff. Definitely want to check out that sculpture.
Nice preparation.
dig it... perhaps you should put that on your current answering machine and have us leave you messages :-)
Very cool. Perhaps it's my imagination but it seems that the chords in this tuning take on a different, almost metallic texture.
Very intriguing.
Epic.
Yeah man. Crunchy!
Two thumbs up. Inconvenient diva... there's a brain-full ;-)
Yeah man! Sweet!
Special sauce.
Nice tune. Is that an acoustic bass I hear? Nice recording. And this picture... very cool too.
Woah! Powerful stuff!
Very nice.
Love these kinds of tracks that ease me into my Monday mornings.
Crunchy! Bravo!
Lovely hearing the jazzier chords on an acoustic.
yummy jam
awesome collab
Awesome slow build. Does it have to leave so soon?
