This is the first outing of a new granular re-synthesis based Reaktor ensemble I am working on codenamed "BD".
The track is generated by 4 instances of the ensemble (playing different samples), panned by CamelSpace, with lashings of Valhalla…

Hey Igor. Yeah there's something a little disturbing about those shrill shrieks towards the end, kind of like some flying be-tentacled monsters happily chasing their prey ;-)

This is made with a very experimental Reaktor instrument I am building.
It uses a very simple particle collision model with 64 particles in a 100x100 box. When two particles collide they trigger a sampler to play a slice of either of two samples…
I wanted to play more directly with noise of various kinds so this piece focuses less on techniques and fancy plugins and more on selection & arrangement of sounds.
I spent many hours going through Reaktor ensembles I've downloaded searching…
I elected to pursue my theme for RPM 2010 even though, ultimately, I decided not to take part.
So I'm going at my own pace, not trying to produce "finished" works, or to be governed by anything except my experimental muse.
The theme I chose…
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…
This track was my attempted submission for Ramen Music #001. I finally got around to uploading it here.
It was made using several instances of the Max for Live instrument "Loop Shifter" that I played in real-time using my Novation Launchpad…
I seem to have problems streaming tracks on here these days unfortunately, but fortunately that means I download them to listen. This track was incredibly relaxing to listen to. I felt as if I'd returned to the safety of the womb.
Wonderful...thanks!!!
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…

Part of a sound walk that takes place through the Station North district of Baltimore. This piece is the last segment of the walk.
Live 8, Logic, field recordings, clay flute, and samples from Tennyson's "Bugle Song".
4 stereo guitar tracks played out one at a time.
Another late night - early morning recording.
I like to keep a positive attitude about the things that haunt me, but sometimes dreams change course unexpectedly, and the worms creep in.
24-hour album.
This album is a collage of several disconnected pieces recorded & mixed over 18 hours or so.
I've left it as a single long track, but here's a sort of navigational guide if you want to skip around:
0:00 - 1:30 = Living…

Half way through and, so far, this has been quite a trip. I love how you have blended ambience and anti-ambience without a huge explosion! It's quite freaky to be surrounded by heavy grinding guitars and know that, just moments ago, I was bathing in a smooth still pond.
i remember the exact moment my tears fell...
this song was written for my dad...it sums up the loss i feel...i dealt with my emotions in the only way i know how...
I frequently go on training skates on a beach front trail. The parking lot is just off of a major highway bridge (the Burlington Skyway for those that know it). It's always an interesting sound there...
I recently acquired got a little Pocketrax…
Well... what do you say?
I think you have made something very beautiful and involving. I love the way that, at the beginning (especially but also, to a degree, throughout the piece), the whole thing moves as if riding waves.
The sounds are interesting but seem to blend quite seamlessly, I think the arrangement is very good. I particularly like the use of resonation, I think it creates a great ambience towards the end of the track.
I really wasn't ready for it to end.
A typical folk song.
Written and recorded in about an hour for the 24 hour album (attempted on March 13th). Excuse roughness and vocal glitches, it was 2am and this was my first full take.
Thanks to montgomeru for his chord suggestions…
Kind of a chillout, lullaby type tune.

Notes:
I think the shaker comes in too strong. I think the intro goes on for probably 1 or 2 more phrases than it should.
Gurgling, bubbling, churning.
This is the last track of the March 2010 24 hour challenge.
The process...
- find some interesting synth sounds (have collected many)
- work out some basic chords
- do some filtering
- add two tracks of e-bow…
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…
Well i gues i was just sitting bored at home in new years even and i came up with the hook , then just worked on it on and off, and ended up with this.
Hope you enjoy it :)
Very much. I'd say time well spent. The percussion has a really crisp snap to it that I love (wish I could figure that trick out myself) and everything layers well and sounds great. Kudos!
I came up with the initial rhythmic riff on my bass, then looped it to create the basis for this track. Then, I layered another "lead" bass track on top of that, added some percussion, and finally topped it off with an electric piano-ish sound…

Thanks again for all the kind words. I think the next piece will be very largely based on vocals, if I can get some more female voices to balance things out!
Comments on Mr Sandbags's stuff
Great panning mate very cool mix like it.
infectious!
Sweeping and collective!
I don't know, but I'm glad I'm not in there with it. Weirdly wonderful sounds there! Seriously, Happy Christmas Sandbags!
Yeah, but, what's in the box?
Acid on the assembly line.....
Nice panning effects! So- What's the answer? Lemme guess- Pain is in the box(sorry- read Dune too many times!)

You're very wise Joe. I can recommend someone! :)
i like it. *calls therapist for crisis counselling*
Not bad for or to fill in the chase scene, for example. To be continued...? Think I will ask you for a samples.
Holy sci fi!
It certainly is.
a dark digital confusing march around crop circles
this is some good stuff
All your work that I've listened to so far resonates with me at a molecular level. I enjoyed this a lot. :)

You always inspire my ambient side. Massive wall of sound.
I've got sharks swimming through a sunken wreck. Clever and weirdly atmospheric!
Yes, I agree with Johnny, a most amazing mix of sounds. Well Mr. S, it sounds like a dream!

Awesome piece you've made here. So much in it but all blended superbly. I especially love the voices towards the end.
Oh yeah, liked this a lot.
Really enjoyed this piece.
Well you were wondering yesterday how it would come together and I can tell you, it came together great! An amazing effort, bravo!

Beautiful playing and something reminiscent of Glu about the birdsong & engine noise which works really well here. Kudos!
Full of desolation and dark overtones. Beautiful.

You may be surprised to hear it, but I really like this one!
Beautiful.
Strange and understated, I really love this.
Cool sound. More gritty bass which we like :)

Like this one a lot, it's got a haunting quality to it.
You asked for criticism but I can't give you any. I can only echo dAb and Sister's comments; this is great.

Love your sound.
You're having wayyyy too much fun here :)
I think the two of you should be congratulated, then taken into care :)
Ah the infamous!
