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 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.

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.

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…

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.

Nice gentle groove!! Yeah- Maj 7 chords are the deal!

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.
