An experiment that became a meditation.
Two tracks. One guitar, one looper, one e-bow, two tracks and a touch of Live's Overdrive effect on the second e-bow track.
The starting premise was could I get the sound of many guitars by continually…
Saw an add on TV for something called "Drag Me To Hell". Dunno what it is with horror films, but apparently scary music is on my mind. Thanks for helping exorcise it.
The guitar part, btw, is e-bow plus slide so any tonality is an accident.
Could've been the soundtrack to the nightmare I had last night - I don't usually have them and this music immediately brought it all back! And judging by the title, this is a REALLY effective track! Very clever.
This has been something that has been struggling to get out for a while. I finally feel comfortable enough playing it to have pressed record...
Boring technical details:
DADGAD tuning
two improvised tracks, GT-10 Studio Acoustic Guitar preset…
You all should check out MMI's music blog. My favorite quote from the last entry (regarding alonetone): "There is an ocean of music and I'm just peeing into it, enjoying the temporary warmth that affords."
Beautiful piece, outstanding sounds and such musical, melodic guitar playing, just the way I like it...and I think you play closer to my influences than I do :)
This track started off with an idea. The idea was an instrument setup such that I could play a single note, or octave and have arps and stuff built it up...
I failed in that experiment by getting carried down the add more effects road and before…
Derivative- This one was not supposed to be on the album, but I changed my mind and worked on it. The reason for the intended omission was because the riff, which I have been playing with for a few months, just sounded so derivative of Dear Prudence…
I spent 15 hours composing and playing this or, I should rather say, this is the sole product of 15 hours of sitting with Live & my piano.
I think there is the kernel of something good in it (and I intend to explore that later) but the…
The fourth piece in my 'Dissolving into Noise' collection IV was made entirely with my new Reaktor instrument "Yottskry" (see the [demo video](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KEjtiTeR8w8) for more info on Yotskry).
I used Yotskry standalone…
A personal anti-war song...or something like that !-)

I wrote this song,
It came from the inside,
Because of that,
I can make it stop.

I know, you think I've completely lost it. This is actually a cover tune. Originally done by Wall of Voodoo around 1979. I did it from memory and ear, so I'm not sure if I got the notes or the Key right. It don't matter though, It was fun.
I…
I recently bought the Imperfect Samples [Braunschweig Upright](http://www.imperfectsamples.com/website/samples/braunschweig/braunschweiguprightpiano.php) (Pro) sampled piano for Kontakt after falling in love with the sound of the demos.
I have…
Hi folks,
It's good to back after RPM and the blackout of 2010.
A couple firsts here. I recorded this 100% with the computer. I never plugged in to a computer before.
I've always used a Roland VS machine and burnt my
songs/tracks to SCSI…
So I just figured out that the EXS24 sampler instrument in Logic Pro (the DAW I use) can also import SoundFont2 files, which I happened to have a bunch of from a previous life as a Cakewalk user. All the tracks in this tune were played using old…
I came up with the main bass riff on my electric bass, but after recording it I was unhappy with the tone, so I used a sampled upright bass. On top of that is a layer of doodling "lead guitar" (played on my bass), a dreamy semi-harsh organ sound…

Just brilliant!
Damn, now I want noodles.
Major noodles with major flavour! Gorgeous!
Love the way this builds up around 3 mins, and then descends back in to reflection.
Jangly goodness! Like gypsy e-miners.

what are YOU doing up this hour? doing some kind of a happy dance I imagine? ;-)
nice song G -Andrew
*Does a happy chair dance*
Very nice! Optimistic , but no too much so if ya know what I mean!!
i mean light.. as in happy and slightly melancholy. I'm serious about those evolving layers of sound... awesome.
it dances between light and slightly melancholy thanks to the interesting progression. Moving textures ftw!
Hey- Thanks for the mention in your blog- very nice of you. Doug turned me on to it

Awesome twisted genius here. Love it.
A thing of magnificence, strength and beauty.
ooh I like this
Very nice.
This'll be on a Mexican Radio soon. Nice stuff.
Wow! How am I only discovering this now?!?
Holy shit! Bravo!!!!!! This is truly inspiring.
Sucker for the wistful slide guitar.
As though you stole this from Iggy Pop's home studio. :-) Awesome!
Peter Murphy and Lux Interior's illegitimate love child. Oddly compelling.
Welcome. Your new computer overlords are very pleased.
Wow, quite the eclectic record. Don't change. And I quite like this track (I'm a closeted Pelican fan)
Beautifully haunting.
Hot swampy goodness.
Yes!
holy crap! Not too early to tell that this is making the album. Don't change a thing.
Great fun! I feel young again.
Volcanic!
Wow. Just wow.
Very very nice way to start my day.
