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…
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.

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.

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...
~For Molly and girls~
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 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! :)

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.
