So... Reichenbach is now called **Reichatron**.
I felt that the new sonic mangling possibilities of the ensemble were reminiscent of a Japanese monster movie than a composer of beautifully intricate harmonies.

I've been working on the Reichenbach signal chain to include filtering, distortion, EQ, and a resonator. I've also switched out the delay and gone hog wild with modulation.

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.

Another of [Ronnie's Mixed Bag](http://rekkerd.org/) samples (this one called `120_hollow_01`) and another version of my Reichenbach ensemble for Reaktor.

ok, that was an interesting comment by Sister. hehe...me and my visualizing things and all...I pictured raindrops coming to life and breaking into cars and what not. lol...

This is a short experiment with Version 0.99.9 of my *Reichenbach* phase-shifted looping Reaktor ensemble (try saying that 3 times fast!)
I took a 2 second long piano sample and fed it into the loopers which were running at 0.98x, 1.0x, and…
Another experiment with Reichenbach, my phase-shited looping ensemble for Reaktor 5. This time I fed it a sample from the [Rekkerd.org](http://rekkerd.org/downloads/) mixed bag selection #2 called `106_sandylines_01.wav`.
I let the sample play…
A lonely, slow, tune... with a forlorn and sometimes tense distorted guitar (actually my bass). Good music to listen to as you zone out and stare into space.
Rhythmic groove with bass and "guitars". In addition to the obvious bass track, the two distorted "guitar" tracks are actually also basses, EQ'ed and altered with various effects to sound less bassy and more guitary.
Melodic, peaceful, and trance-inducing instrumental. Used a synth clav as the underlying thematic instrument, then layered a few other things on top. The "guitar" counter-melody at the end is me playing a bass in the upper registers.
A track that I put on hold for the RPM Challenge.
Of course, now I can't really remember where I was going with it... but to have used it in the challenge would have been cheating.
What I do remember was that I had just discovered and fallen…
An old time fiddle tune without the fiddle, or the tune, really, so the vocal has to carry it, and it has that lovely raw propulsion. Written and recorded in an hour.
I'm not sure if this is rockabilly or late 40s jump R'n'B. Dance music though. I had fun with the lyrics and the backing vocals.
This is now a tidied up version 18/3/09
A happy song about being left by your no-good spouse. There's a word for the attitude in this song but I can't think of it right now ...
this is now a tidied up version 18/3/09
This has been something that has been struggling to get out for a while. I finally feel comfortable enough playing it to have pressed record...
Boring technical details:
DADGAD tuning
two improvised tracks, GT-10 Studio Acoustic Guitar preset…
A one hour track start to finish - words music and all the faffing around at the end to get the levels right.
It's a ghost story. So go get your cocoa now!
And a Murder ballad and a love story (but aren't they all).
Old Conor Higgins…
That didn't stop her.
Main vocals/bleeps by Shreya, keys and backing vocals by me. Actually, my baby daughter was in my arms while I was doing those vocals and she started crying. Even though I cropped that part, I didn't use any noise reduction…
Another experiment.
Today Eos was released. In trying it out, I found 7 random synth clips in my library (not entirely random but they might as well have been). These are fed for somewhat random durations and order through 4 Eos reverbs in…

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…
and you didn't even have to spend the night to get it.
another one from the morning sessions...
First attempt at making something with the demo version of live 8 suite and some of the sample tutorials. Just the first third or so of a whole track really. It's the first thing I haven't wanted to delete straight away so I want to put it somewhere…
Comments on Mr Sandbags's stuff
Interesting looking interface for that software in your video...
I love how when I read your descriptions I feel as if I'm in a modern music school! :)
Jasmine Savage says, 'That's nice!' (She doesn't have her own log in.)
You are getting there mate sounds good
Very cool sounds, but I think you'd better look out your window because the villagers are coming and they're carrying torches and clubs!
What's in your attic?
Cool sounds you are getting here mate dig it.
nice stuff. this is very experimental work.
great weird stuff sandbags. keep making more of it.
Thanks folks, your comments made me smile :)
This is weird, but very cool. Like listening to some heated argument in an alien language!
More coolness. Something that rewards repeated listens.
If Dali made music this is what it would be like. nice but disturbing
Some kind of underground bug conference, with drinks.
Well I think its all going in the right direction mate
All your stuff is like a big abstract soundtrack, it's great stuff, you should do a film with all of it in!
ok, that was an interesting comment by Sister. hehe...me and my visualizing things and all...I pictured raindrops coming to life and breaking into cars and what not. lol...
Raindrops...turning to crime.
Beautiful mate nice one.
Another very cool one mate

Man I love your stuff. It's atmospheric, nice timbres, great beat. Hope you've got more to upload!
Good music to make you want to zone out and stare into space :)
Love this one.
Lovely.
I'm glad you decided to release this anyway because it's lovely. I'm getting used to being eased into my day by a new track from you. Keep it up! :)
Weird and wonderful. I'm enjoying your RPM album which has been a trip so far :)
An hour well spent :)
I really love these ditty's.
Kind of the anti-blues ;-) Love it!
A nice way to slide into Monday morning.
Love it.
Strange and dark. I love it :)
Great, laid back, sound.
Have to give you much kudos for working out how to make 4 reverbs sound good :)
That was great!
Love the dreamy quality and the use of BigSeq2. How did you come up with the notion of using 4 Eos in series?
Really enjoyed this one :)
Thanks for the kind words folks :)
There is something truly awesome about a track about and from making coffee :)
I enjoyed it :)
