It's been so long since I've made any music I've kind of forgotten how. I was just noodling about and thought I had a sound I liked so I bounced it out quite quickly.

Thanks for the kind words both. Chris it is a pretty good idea but I can't take any credit for that, I got it from Pendle @ SoundDust. He uses it to build his Plastic Ghost Piano and I thought it sounded like something cool to play with.
I told the [good Sister](http://alonetone.com/sistersavage) that I wanted to try using vocals in a track and she offered to do me some abstract, stylized, vocals that I could play with and this little number is the result.
Working with wet (pre…
I'm trying to experiment with intentionally combining two different sounds. Since I seem to find this difficult I am starting with using a drone as one of the sounds taking my inspiration from the opening tracks of the Brian Eno & Jah Wobble…

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…
No rhyme, no reason, just a colony of mournful machines piping their clangorous, grinding sonorisms at each other across an barren electronic landscape.
This will also be some of the source material that I will process later into something…

This is the first track made with my new Reaktor instrument 'Super Scanoid' which might just have well been named '1950s Sci-Fi Soundtrack Generator".
The sounds it makes with this sample (a bouncy pizzicato cello) reminded me of the score from…
A rather more fundamentally experimental piece with Reichenbach's new *drift* mode. In this mode a probability matrix controls periodic changes in the loop length and/or position.
Once more I am using one of the awesome [Rekkerd mixed bag](http…
A demo track for a new Reaktor instrument I'm building codename: Mimetron.
Loop Guitar 1 is a long, flowing, ambient piece. Mellow with a few moments of grit.
Mimetron is a 3 voice sampler that is driven by incoming audio. It has 3 channels…

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…

Very nice - glad you're back to making music. I'm also a big fan of Permut8, but was unaware of Boscomac's page; thanks for including that info.
Liking the underpinning energy.
this sounds positively haunted. really digging it.
Psychotic mermaids. Everywhere. Not for the aquatic paranoid.

what a unique idea! Thank you for this great aural experience!
This is awesome. I'm transported to a quiet but alarming place. Very cool.
Dig this
A fabulous compilation of sounds, dark colors, bitter flavors, a caress of eeriness. Love it!
This is amazing in my denon's
Works for me! Love it -- Rock on!
Ah we had some fun. :)
This just came up in my itunes shuffle play and I was all "damn, like this, what is it?" a little digging and I found myself here :)
Traffic jam clowns!
Touché Igor :)
...then I, without special reason, descended into the abyss of black of bass. Will I find there what you need? Or, on the way, I lost myself?
Dig! Love it! Very groovy!
Rediscovering... very cool.
Very nice work, I love the way the ambience flows. Also the Reaktor ensemble looks like a nice piece of programming.
cool trip we have here

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.
