A test track of sorts.
I typically mix a track, bounce it out to my ipod and then go for a drive. The stereo in my truck is kind of boomy and if I get the bass wrong, I'll hear about it. This has been a matter of a certain amount of guesswork…
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…

Is that too much texting? Either way, the track's kinda vertigo-esque* and full. Very unnerving.
*because I don't know if "vertigous" is a word. Google returns a mixed bag.
After an adventure in re-recording the entire song down a third, we came back to the original, tightened and tuned.
Always the self flagellating perfectionist, it still needs a bit more love. Always the pragmatist, it is probably done for now.
24 hour EP more than 24 hours late. I was going to title it "Perpetual Interruptions EP" but I went for something more positive. Due to weird bug in some part of my set up, there is a kick drum in only one side of the stereo for the first few…
24 hours of music making for 2008.
Yup. This is a "Gaiman variation" which means that I stopped at 24 hours and this is what I've got. Not 24 min, but it is a "Noble Failure"

Epic journey. Plenty weird. DIg it. I particularly like the Glass-ian opening in Time. And the bonus track comes to shake you out of the dream. Evil genius.
Here is my practice run, 1/12 of the 24hour album. 2 minutes of music in two hours. This track was fun to make. I started with the acoustic guitar, added the bass, then the beat. To get a particular sound that I had in mind, I did a little beat…
This is the first cover song I've ever really recorded in my 15 years of playing and recording.
The guitar and voice are each full continuous takes, I didn't want to do comping (copy and pasting), though the vocal harmony parts were done in…
one of the oldest songs MNCC's ever recorded. It's mostly bass and homemade drums plus a prerecorded beat. And lyrics about the consequences of forbidden love.
about a circus that self destructs and the damage left in it's wake. Yes, it's a weird and/or dark subject but as the lyrics are unintelligible it probably won't upset anybody.
I'm not quite sure where I was going with this. I love the Abaska Bong sound and was trying to pair it with something complementary. After going through some truly weird combinations I came up with this.
A further march down the road in acl's evolution - and one of the many directions we've been dying to get to... it's, ummm, water-y. (And this song is especially dedicated to J Wentz.)

Wish I could get a clean gtr sound like this. My Tele has such a buzz. Nice.
Cool effects and tones.Tune rocks on the big speakers.
gary Newman... expands!

Great collaboration. Awesome bass.
Good!
This was lovely! Yes, new toys are so great! haha! You keep playing and we enjoy! :-) Roeleke
Another beautiful song, GREAT sounds!
Wonderful guitarsound. Really love this one!
Beautiful soundscape...
This feels like the soundtrack to "Buck Rogers in the 21st century" re-imagined by Ronald D. Moore. Kudos.
Still awesome ebowing!
Great!
Damn- I would love to be able to do stuff like this. This is great!
Works like a charm. (Better than the sisterhood method of shunning mixing altogether. *nods*)
Obv. the last comment was from dumbass Savage here, not logged in, despite being clearly logged in only seconds beforehand.

Like alien pinball with fast cars and girls. (That's good, by the way.)

Beauty. Is that some vocoder action I hear? Whatever it is, it's really cool.
This is really wonderful. I think that the tempi changes really add something special.
You know, I thought the technical difficulties were just artistic decisions. And good ones. Inspired.
You win.
too funny

A fabulous eclectic trick. You're all over the place man! It's awesome.
This is really awesome. I feel like killing myself now :-)
A true opus.
Very nice work (I've been a closet new-age fan for like 20 years, terribly sorry if the genre label offends).
Very well done!
Stunning.
Love it. But too short! Need my Boards of Canada fix.
Dude. Stunning. I wish Iron & Wine's CDs were recorded this well.
Love it!
Cool track. I'm really liking your vox processing.
Charming lunacy.
Man I love this stuff.
Sweetly played. Definitely not cheesy.
You had me at the piano intro. It just got better from there. The first piece of music I listened to today. What a great start to the day.
