I set myself the challenge of making a track this evening. I've uploaded it with 2 minutes to spare.
I started out with a wind chime instrument in Kontakt. I sequenced it using the PX-18 sequencer and then fed three different version of it…
I've been learning this Fats Waller style "stride" blues piece since *forever* but I'm finally getting it. Still have the last two bars to learn but here's a rendition of the part I've learned on an underwater marimba. I was accompanied on bells…
Honestly I have no idea where this came from or how.
I was messing with Omnisphere patches and came across a lovely, flutey, breathy sound that put me in mind of the scenes inside the monolith at the end of 2001. I setup a Rytme pattern to…
Another test of the Reichatron on a flute sample. The signal chain for version 1 of the ensemble is now completely worked out and only some details of the beat mode controls for navigating the loop around the sample remain.
This time I employ…

Just messing around with voices and Yottskry. Here I am using it in Live and feeding 3 different vocal clips at a time. It's pretty slow getting going but I think it rewards (for some value of 'reward') listening all the way through.

This begins with an impressionable young man, looking for strange and exotic flowers on the sea bed. He's new to these waters and is taking chances in darker depths. His mind begins to drift as he dares himself deeper...does he begin to see a city in the watery landscape? Mermen - flying about on underwater jetbikes with beautiful sea goddesses, drenched, but holding on to their blue/grey torsos? The lost bell chimes as he catches his breath...will he ever return to the surface?

I just finished reading Citizen Vince by Jess Walter and at one point in it the protagonist meditates a little on hearing people speak without listening... nevermind, my brain is just connecting this track with the musings of that character.

Hey, this is really cool. I'm transported into the ventilation ducts of an alien spaceship listening to the extra-terrestrials gently talking to each other. **added to favourites**

The exquisite bass was performed by my friend Edo Castro, but everything else was done on a Waldorf XTk.
In fact, originally the bass line was from an entirely other recording. What I did was to mute the other tracks and record all new ones…
For the upcoming Mobtown Modern show "Low Art" next Wednesday, Brian Sacawa will perform (among other pieces in the jumbo saxophone repertoire) "Maknongan" by Giacinto Scelsi (performed on bari sax). For the event, Brian asked me to create a remix…
Today I gave a quickie demo of Live to my guitar instructor. I started with an empty set and threw some crap at the wall just to show him one of the work flows.
Later, when I brought the thing home I couldn't leave well enough alone and started…

Uploaded a new version which fixes the drums although there's still a feedback problem (related to MIDI timing I think) that needs to be fixed in a final mix.

Okay this is the problem with mixing being "throw a mastering channel strip on it, bounce, upload". At some point about the 2 minute mark the drums track have cut out - probably overloaded Reaktor again. So then you get 2:30 that is largely just the bass.
A little study using Dmin6 and Dmin7 with a little D dorian dressing.

When you do this kind of track it evokes a feeling of travelling without moving.
It reminds me of being a passenger in a car on a motorway at night, slightly tired and letting the world glide, carelessly, past me.
I've always liked that feeling.
Comments on Mr Sandbags's stuff
Incredible ventriloquism. The crispies kept me looking up and all around. Ah, I sound weird...
who?
also excellent... My favourite tracks of yours seem to occupy a space somewhere between the artificial/synthetic and the organic.
Very cool
Very nice; I think this is my favourite track on this album!
Great track cool sounds.
Underwater smokey. The mermaids are throwing their scales at you.
This track is kind of Floydish and kind of Kraftwerkish...and very cool. Thanks for checking out my recent track :)
This is way cool mate great sounds magic. And thanks for your comments mate.
Ear candy par excellence! Captivating stuff!

Awesome track man, this puts me in mind of my beloved Apollo: Atmospheres & Soundtracks. Kudos to you!
Very chilled. Bring on the full track.

Fabulous sound. Liked this one very much.

I was so totally there. Awesome.
