I've been slacking, so here's something new finally.
I left flubbed notes in this one. I hate MIDI editing in Ableton Live.
I often think of ending this affair and going back to my sweetheart, Logic.

I wrote Dancing Vampires while reading the book "The Historian", which is a story of a man and his accomplices’ quest to find Dracula in present day Europe. I love history and all of its grit. This song speaks of primal human instincts. We are…

This is a song I wrote one night before I fell asleep. It's about a girl I know but I changed her name to maya in the song after reading it in 1950s sewing patterns. I had to tell her she wasn't a little girl any more. then there's a cover of…

This is the first song I ever wrote that I was proud of. and I haven't matched it since. I had the first line in my head for like a year, then I switched it round and had the second line. With that, I sat down at my guitar and played the first…

This song is about my current state of seemingly perpetual virginity. But more than that, it's my sorta twee manifesto, for now any way. I really like black tambourine, tintin, kittens, big wolf on campus, poetry and that's what it's about. I…

The average person thinks as many as 50,000 thoughts a day. Many of these thoughts are negative and self-destructive. I believe that all of the inner tension in your life is created by your thoughts. Your thoughts make you ill and your thoughts…

Pretty cohesive tail for a 57 second track.
[Compare to "Firecracker" recorded for RPM 2010. This was the initial kernel that led to that track.]

Warning - uses Brainwave Generator for samples - so if you feel a little groggy listening to it, that's why.
Don't play while operating heavy machinery.

I got word this morning that my dog died sometime overnight, following his emergency surgery.

First, I did Voices. Then glu worked his magic. Then I hated my guitar part so I redid it. Here's the result.

First post-24h tune. Music written and recorded throughout the day... and lyrics in the evening. WARNING: This one is another cliché romantic synth-pop tune; same *muse* as the last one.

We found a nice bathroom, and, moved by whimsy, decided to write this little shuffle for y'all. Took us about 15 minutes to write and record. It'd lose its spontaneity, otherwise, no?

I composed this string quartet on a freeware music notation program. It just kind of came to me. Pretty short, but I'm sure I could expand on it.

There's a note that sounds like it's getting abruptly chopped off somewhere in the song. Hopefully, you won't hear it, because I couldn't figure out what was causing it.

So I still hate Ableton Live with a passion for anything piano related. But things seem to go better if I head straight to arrangement view once I'm out of the improvising stage and do my recording there, rather than trying to think that session…

I'm convinced that composing/recording daily is the best way to really find out if a DAW fits your workflow. And I think Ableton Live nailed its final nail in the coffin for me tonight.

Just a quick conceptual sketch of a new piece we're brewing. 210 bpm, 5/4, with 6 bars per phrase. We'll probably take this down once we've got more there. Our poor pianist will probably get carpal-tunnel syndrome from this.

I think it's too repetitive. The bass is too harsh. The beats are stale.
Don't agree with me though. :)

Small sketch, to be made into a real-life song, once the cellist takes care of his debts.

I am not BT, so no rain drops were quantized in this production.
Storm was recorded last night on my Tascam DR-07 (with wind filter and limiter).
Just a simple piano improv. That of course had to be tweaked far out of the improv stage.

I've had a bit of a love/hate relationship with this one.
I enjoyed making the beats and think that part came out pretty good but everything after that felt rather haphazard and didn't feel right to me.
I was close to abandoning the track…

It's generally not a good idea to try to write a vocal song and record it in the same night. Especially if you didn't warm up. Nor is it a good idea to layer 2 pitchy vocals trying to get a stable note.
