Initial comment made at 20 secs on hearing my Molly! Then I grabbed the headphones because I suspected I knew what was coming. But no, this is Sandbags. Take equal measures of eerie, crazy and strange, sprinkle with ingenuity and serve with WOAH.

Damn. How on earth do you manage to get all of these separate things to fit together so well?
And reading through the liner notes.... I am in awe of your ability to focus on one piece for so long and what must be an amazing attention to detail. Where can I get me some of that? :)
When I uploaded this last night I thought it was a failure, this morning I am not so sure. I've just listened to it again and, while it fails to live up to my expectations when I started, there's something about it that I like.

Actually...I think the voices sound great! And the fact that the spoken voice (yours?) is incoherent doesn't matter at all. You could be spilling all the secrets of the universe and we wouldn't know, I like that - it's intriguing.

Dark and sinister indeed! I like the use of your voice and the fact this it's incoherent makes it better. OOOOOH! That laughter at the end just caps it off!

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.

This is my first run through the 7th Goldberg variation. It's been about a month since I started practicing it. This is the first time I "made it"—meaning, it's a bit fumbling and pushes and pulls, but hey, I hit all the notes!
I've played…
2nd in my series of granular/glitch piano creations.
This time I am trying out a new instrument called Cumulus with a sample from SoundIron Emotional Piano. I setup the scene points and let the internal sequencer run, then put it through Audio…
First demo of the finished Novaphone 340 Grand instrument (v1.0.4) including some of the sample content that will be released with the final instrument. In this case I used 5 samples of a Reaktor based drone generator by [nofi](http://soundcloud…
Really nice Bruce.
I do wish I could figure out improvFriday. Every time I think about it I go to the site and have no clue what to do next or how people upload or even if they are welcome to. It's all so baffling.
Something I've been listening to this morning on repeat so I thought I would record and share it.
At heart it's two instances of the Morpheus metallophone instrument layered together with some nice verb and a bit of compression.
One of the…
A micro-tonal piece made using one instance of the Novaphone 340 ("Imperial") playing 3 piano samples from SoundIron's "Emotional Piano 2.0".
The samples were sequenced using a MIDI keyboard using the Novaphone Micro-8 scale (1/8 semitone per…
Some kind of rap-music. Made with a little bit tongue in cheek approach. I've filtered the rap artists voice so much that i'd rather leave his name unpublished.
Sometime yesterday, sandbags posted "In the Ocean of Night".
Fuelled by a lovely walk and some pints, I was inspired to make some additions.
Technical/process details:
Guitar was my Michael Kelly going into GT-10 which had compressor, delay…
Loved this as soon as I heard it. You've really nailed the crunchy yet spacey guitar texture and I think the two blend well together. Greater than the sum of it's parts!
This is the first piece made with a Reaktor instrument I built today that I have called "Xylo".
Xylo is a sampler that plays a region of the sample back and forth with a 10s release time. Each note defines a region of a different length (but…

This started with a couple of samples in a new version of Boite Diabolique where the samplers slide over them at different rates and varying granular density. I recorded some of that as I varied the rates and then brought the recording into Live…
Comments on Mr Sandbags's stuff
Music for the mind. Once again a journey is bestowed upon us..one for which I have to say thanks. The collab you did with Sister Savage was great work too.
Very cohesive sound collage. I love this.
Well done. Very retro cool.
Wow mega cool mate this is out there dig it.
Clever and complex. Great job combining all the sounds, and still managing to avoid complete dissonance.
I moved my speakers right up next to my head. Really gets the full affect of the L/R. Fun stuff.......
well done sandbags.
My thanks to all those who contributed vocals to this track: GCD, Sudara, Marlena, MMI, La Savage, Robot Molly, Matt Savigear, Wildgeas, and me!
The coordinated chaos of this is impressive! Those layers are pretty wild.
Astounding! :)

Very spooky! :)
Wow you have some great sounds in this one mate sounds great with headphone
Very cool mate very cool.
...too noiszzzy for me, though.
Comments made by Mr Sandbags
Bravo! Bravo!
I think it's too long, not enough variation, and needs at least some filtering. Might try a cello next time, or maybe a harmonica.
@Bethan: thanks... something like "Passing of the comet" would have been a much better title :)
@igor: it's often the way with poetry, no? But you offer an interesting historical footnote :) But, in a sense, the poem is a distraction.
Really nice Bruce. I do wish I could figure out improvFriday. Every time I think about it I go to the site and have no clue what to do next or how people upload or even if they are welcome to. It's all so baffling.
Like I said for the demo, really strong track with a great sound & vocal. I like this one very much.
@igor: words fail me :) @sister: thank you :)
@Bethan: thanks... my imagery was of drifting far out on the edge of the solar system. A very similar feel... down in the inky depths.
Like your sound and the vocal, good track.
That's pretty cool. Wasn't sure what to expect, but I like it.
That was quite a trip!
Cool track.
Loved this as soon as I heard it. You've really nailed the crunchy yet spacey guitar texture and I think the two blend well together. Greater than the sum of it's parts!
Really cool. Geas is right, but you gotta play the UK!!
@wg: My plan to have Professor Plum take the fall has come to naught I see :)
@bethan: thanks, that's an evocative image, i like it.
@Johnny: thanks, i think it shows some promise :)
Grungy and great!
@Sis: Have to be careful of things swooping on you strangely :)
Even your rehearsals are ACE! :)
