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.

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...

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.

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.

Sueños con Guitarra (dreams on guitar)
is the first track i upload from a future playlist of 9 tracks that i'm still working on.

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…

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.

Lovely. Almost new age meets lounge! Only cool!!
Nice gentle groove!! Yeah- Maj 7 chords are the deal!

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?
