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…
so Airport Columns.. and Opened... I think these might be my two favorite MMI tunes at the moment. This one is magical. I imagine a caravan of nomads wandering through the Serengeti desert in search of a waterhole, but the electronic ambiances suggest that it's some kind of computer-generated dream... like I'm really laying in an isolation tank in someone's laboratory.
Ambient guitar with generous reverb served up on a bed of glitched up vocal samples.

okay. so i listened to this one again. I was in the wrong state of mind the first time around. the voices are telling me to ask you if this can be imported into Live 7?

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…

This site is getting way too creepy. This could accompany a brooding cityscape, slowly zooming in on a horrific scene of "SOMETHING". Absolutely brilliant.

oh wow, the ebow sounds great, especially around 02:30! *jealous. hmmm.. my analog ebow cannot achieve such silky smoothness without getting doused in verb

The title comes from the realization that we are applying a ridiculous amount of machinery to make or alter noises that came from a simple source like a vibrating string.
This is first experiment using some of the sampling magic learned from…

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...

Of course, now I can't really remember where I was going with it... but to have used it in the challenge would have been cheating.

Still playing with my _Neurotik_ sequencer made using Max for Live. This one turned out a bit strange. I was actually using it to drive Kontakt with cello & violin patches.
It was sort of interesting but not quite working when I dropped CamelSpace…
A second demo of my _Neurotik_ sequencer built in Max for Live and emulating the _Neuron Sequencer_ from Audio Damage's latest instrument [Axon](http://www.audiodamage.com/instruments/product.php?pid=AD026).
I've fixed up some stuff in the…
One for my electronic friends. It's just a bunch of patches mixed with MIDI and glued together with 1 part water, 2 parts flour, and 2 parts ectoplasma.
Enjoy!
More LoopShifted piano accompanied by Stylus RMX and Omnisphere. At over eight minutes it's perhaps a little self-indulgent but maybe it's more like punting down the river Styx than jet-skiing on a lake of fire.
Here's to insignificance my friend. May you never be squashed like a bug.
Instruments used: Kontakt, LoopShifter, Stylus RMX
Effects used: Eos, DubStation, Replicant, Augustus Loop

Still struggling with this one...
Maybe not possible to make this work in a country song...MY DICK DON'T KNOW SHE'S GONE
1. She's been gone for three years now. Three years since she walked out
Friends and folks I work with ask me what it…
This is a tune that's been on the back burner for a bit. I was looking to get a dark Ultravox kind of sound. Anyone feel like puttin' on their Midge Ure hat???
Anyway, these aren't the droids your looking for.
Move along..............Move along.
A personal anti-war song...or something like that !-)

I wrote this song,
It came from the inside,

This is from years ago, living in santa fe.
I loved driving around in my little 1980s toyota corolla and listening to cassettes. I loved the way they sounded.
So I took a piano song I was working on, recorded it to cassette, dragged mic…
still one of my personal faves. - although i'd wish to redo some parts, i'm stuck with this version, since i don't own one of the synths used there anymore..

This was my "signature" track several years ago. I wrote this on guitar in the mid-90s while I was getting divorced, but later renamed it and recorded it…
WARNING! ADULT CONTENT or goofy great........
After a week of computer crashes, I finally got my gear all back to normal. I got my drum kit hooked up yesterday and did a test run which led to this bit of Saturday morning fun that only

This song is built on an entirely weird formula. First, I played it.
Second, I broke it up into equal but random lengths,
Then, starting each segment where i played it, Repeating each segment four or five times, adding lots of fx
Finally, i needed…

This has a really nice innocent quality about it. Great stuff!
yeah, this is a very affective piece. One of my MMI favorites...
OK...I am really losing it...this actually just made me blub.
I DO like it, but then I go for these kinds of guitar oddities. "Talent enhancer"? I want one of those.
okay. so i listened to this one again. I was in the wrong state of mind the first time around. the voices are telling me to ask you if this can be imported into Live 7?
This one grew on me as it went along. The 'verbed guitars are very nice. I expect to hear more of them in due course ;-)
Haunted library! Something's going to happen...and it's not just a twist in the tale...
Some of the single line guitar stuff has an almost horn like quality- very cool
This sounds out of this world...literally. Very enjoyable.
OK- I'm going back to playing electric again!. Great stuff

when A.I. takes over the world!
Wow. Beautiful, grimy, like someone giving a last salute to a barge full of gravel going over a waterfall.
Fascinating stuff. Works well!
This works really nicely. Some great industrial sounds here. Nice.
whos playin wiv u? v goood... D is for Diane Goddess of life in Rome Italy...
Lovely. Almost new age meets lounge! Only cool!!
Nice gentle groove!! Yeah- Maj 7 chords are the deal!

yay for Camel toys! they're like HP sauce for me
Excellent work. But even better for me, you've provided some inspiration for experimentation.
Grooving darkly.
This is a keeper. That thing that sounds like a guitar is actually an affected piano? Very cool.
Specs move better in headphone headspace. Highly recommended.
Well done my friend.
lmao! this is awesome!
Love it!
Special.
Awesome-sauce. Dreaming of you and Michael Brook sharing a stage...
Definitely captured the UV vibe.
Smooooth.
Beautiful track. Listening for the umpteenth time and starting to find the little details you added. It's like a treasure hunt.
Diggin it.
Wonderful wonderful piece.
Great track.
Very pretty.
In Canada, we outlawed capital punishment; so hanging ponies is definitely not on the "fun menu" anymore.
Simply. Beautiful.
evil twisted genius Bravo!
