More LoopShifted piano accompanied by Stylus RMX and Omnisphere. At over eight minutes it's perhaps a little self-indulgent but maybe it's more like punting down the river Styx than jet-skiing on a lake of fire.

Ha, you need to work on your advertising. ;-)
Pretty cool sounds! Have been listening to my children playing Ice Age on their play station all morning - this kind of track would fit perfectly in some of the eerier scenes. Very nice!

I'm going through something of a dark time at the moment and it's a rare evening I actually have something tangible to show for it. Mostly it's frustration, depression, and a blanket of grey despair. Tonight was different and I can only hope that…

Thank you for the kind words.
This track has been interesting for me in that, having felt paralysed for so long, I was in major haste to push it out the door. I didn't stop to think or evaluate, let alone try things different. I just slapped it together and uploaded it.
And it is a wild mess.
And I think it's very me.
I thought I'd listen once then move on. But I've found myself listening to it over and over again. Of the 37 track plays I would guess almost 30 of them are mine.
Sister's right in that it has some nice bits around 3m and, for me, especially 5m. If the whole could be as good as those parts I think I'd **really** have something.
But where I thought I might be embarrassed at throwing up some half-finished thing instead I've discovered I enjoy this in all it's misshapen beauty.
I've started applying the same techniques I used for this in a more deliberate way and I am struggling. Which is great, it feels great to have creative problems again!
Being as I am in something of a musical trough of despair (it's not as much fun as it sounds) right now I thought I'd try messing with my TMA-2 Reaktor instrument and try and coax some better results from it.
From a promising beginning TMA…

I thought I would try a slower piece so Rytme is running at 90BPM and I have introduced a density function that allows me to create sparser pieces.
MIDI from Rytme is going to a single track in Logic hosting Kontakt 3 with the Soniccouture…
Having fun (finally) playing around with the riff for this tune by Howling Wolf, which is based on a song by Charley Patton and another by the Mississippi Sheiks and another by Tommy Johnson and so on ...
Had to listen to this twice. Amazing juxtaposition in the intro transforming into something cohesive before brutally ripping itself apart at the end. Powerful and somewhat unsettling!
Wow this is lovely Bruce. I'd really love to get a look at your Max setup and see how you work. Maybe you could do a "producer masterclass" video one day?
Indecision is not always bad, sometimes it even leads to the determination. Or leads to the solution. Or does not lead anywhere (also a kind of solution).

Numbers stations (or number stations) are shortwave radio stations of uncertain origin. They generally broadcast artificially generated voices reading streams of numbers, words, letters (sometimes using a spelling alphabet), tunes or Morse code…
I've used recordings of numbers stations in my own music. I think I'm attracted by the way the content is apparently random and yet deliberate. Some nice menace and dark overtones in this piece, very enjoyable.
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…

Recorded in 2009 for the RPM Challenge.
Joe Silence - flying slide guitars, tweaked beatbox, spastic echo torture and toy keyboard mutilation
This was recorded to cassette 4-track and then dumped to DAW for clean-up and mixing.
Despite the fact that boring scientists have proved that did not catch a rainbow, I still believe that it is possible at least to touch its iridescent tail, and then...

This is an older song and hey, you'll finally get to hear me sing badly! This was under my old name Piscean Dream so I couple of you may or may not have heard this before. Thanks for listening!
I am leaving this week for a while but couldnt resist adding as the third collaborator on this excellent track by Keith Landry and Osckilo before I go.
Added some bass,ambient stings, and of course sleigh bell
Hope you guys like it.
See you…

Really love the part around 3 minutes with the piano. Think this is some of your best work, Bags.

Really spookie late night, gonna check the door locks.
Cool sounds mate great mix.
Nice title. ;-) Very cool textures here - love the ethereal backdrop and the understated bass.
Super string particle vibrational quantum nano music. Cool. I AM very tiny.
Now I'm feeling all left out because I have no headphones :(
Very cool, especially in headphones!
Specs move better in headphone headspace. Highly recommended.
Nice one mate very cool mix. Great sounds.
Well done my friend.
love that crackle /spark thingie,make a cool scifi track.
Cool sounds mate I dig your tracks mate, never know where your going to take it.

Very cool sounds mate.
Innovative and entertaining. Good to hear something new from you.
That's wild! I can hear your frustration in places
There are some really cool sequences in here, especially around 3 minutes. I think you expressed a lot through this process - more of the same please.
howzers, love it all. uber visual without handrails
really like this one a lot! great sounds and sense of space. http://soundcloud.com/arcana-red

Brilliant!
Like some kind of cosmic pinball game.

Brings to mind the warding of evil spirits.
Very dark with threatening overtones. I like.

Beautiful. Very moving Igor.

Well spotted Kirk, yes.
In my hands Loop Shifter is anything but subtle :)
Deliciously offbeat.
Like this.
That was quite a slice!
Strange, ethereal, and beautiful. Like finding the end of the rainbow in a carnival full of faded charms.
Rather like this one. Maybe you should sing more often!
That seemed to just fly past... hypnotic!
I like!
Great beat, enjoyed the jam. Wish I could figure improvFriday out it seems like you guys have such fun.
Oh I like this. Very unusual. I'd like to know more.
Great chilled number.
