The product of yesterdays experiments with Metasynth.
I took a few seconds of a Debussy piano piece and imported them into Metasynths spectrum synth where I turned them into a groove which I then filtered in the Filter room.
I imported this…
Halfway through it did feel like it was the intro to something (cue dry ice, big light show, power chord, let's rock... mebbe!)(I think it's the hi-hat that does this to me, it reminds me of a drummer itching to get going)
But, for me, it does actually bring itself to a nice conclusion. Didn't really feel like "petering out" at this end.
Today I decided I would play with the lovely (and free) [Pocket Blakus](http://blakus.com/pocketblakus-192) solo cello.
At first I tried arpeggiating some chords but this didn't work so well with this cello which has a long, heavy, sound that…
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.

this sounds awesome:
When the input signal from the filter exceeds the gate-on threshold the sampler plays the loop for that channel. When the incoming signal falls below the gate-off level the loop gets released and decays away.
2 minutes into the track and loving it.

Thanks for the nice comments my friends. I've been away (for various reasons) from music for some time and this is one of my first few forays back. Trying to recapture my spirit of adventure!
One of four tracks I did for the August 2009 24 hour challenge. This was the last track I did, and it shows.

I'd wanted to play around with Guitar Rig 3 since getting it at the weekend. The guitars are ableton loops mangled with guitar…

I'm an old trance head, so I had to have a go at making a trance tune during the 24 hours. This had the advantage that I could stretch out the breakdown…
One of four tracks I did for the August 2009 24 hour challenge. I'd just finished the trance track, it was 3am, and I wanted something completely different.
It's 110bpm, the piano is NI AkousticPiano Steingraber 130. The bass and organ are done…
This is quite an old track that got abandoned because I didn't feel it was right or going anywhere.
But listening to it in iTunes this morning I thought it passed muster. I don't think it has enough variation to justify it's length but it's gently…

Mostly electric guitar and violin bow. The end is accompanied by my blubbing and a haunting sound recorded by Sudara (an ebow against what I think is a piano string... he'll have…

MMi's Voices

MMi wrote the song. I programmed percussion, recorded tabla and vocals.
This is the first public output after going through about 40% of nickstutorials.com sound design series.
All the sounds started off with my sampling myself either saying something, clicking my fingers or clapping. They were recorded through…
A morning storm recorded in the courtyard and a musical motif written in the evening. combined time working-- 45 minutes, interrupted by a phone call from the parents to see if I was still alive.
Ambient guitar with generous reverb served up on a bed of glitched up vocal samples.
Boring technical details:
Puremagnetik voxbox micropak came with a bunch of vocal clips. I put them all into live and gave them all follow actions to play…
an exposition,traditional,of the raga ,bilaskani todi,transformed into a slightly dark ambient piece of music,exploring musical landscapes,inspired by a scenario,as if for a film,which my music normallt is.
This track started off with an idea. The idea was an instrument setup such that I could play a single note, or octave and have arps and stuff built it up...
I failed in that experiment by getting carried down the add more effects road and before…
I decided to focus by timeboxing the amount of time I spent on drums, bass and lead into 30 min sections based on the pomodoro technique. The idea was to spend 5 mins picking the sound for each part, then 25 mins making some loops with it to arrange…
Just realized I wasn't following you so I hadn't noticed your latest track. It's got some lovely, ethereal, sounds in here and a beat that really carries it along. Cool track. So, it's been nearly two weeks, when can we expect Pomodoro 2? :)
Increasingly I think the music I am making is less about sound design and more about expressing some of the things inside of me that want out. I guess I may be starting to know what I want.

Comments on Mr Sandbags's stuff
Well done sir
All aflame for the Buzzaz: A torch relay of Metaphobias. Got it.
Awesome, can't say I've heard anything quite like it. It really sounds like something unfolding or slowly expanding itself.
Listening again to this piece. Boat-tastic.
Halfway through it did feel like it was the intro to something (cue dry ice, big light show, power chord, let's rock... mebbe!)(I think it's the hi-hat that does this to me, it reminds me of a drummer itching to get going) But, for me, it does actually bring itself to a nice conclusion. Didn't really feel like "petering out" at this end.
Oh yeah, gorgeous cello sound.
Don't think I'll ever understand this way of making music - but it do make some nice sounds. Cool track.
Thanks for the kind words folks, gave me a lift :)
Not completely daft ;) Awesome track, up there with anything I've heard from the "big names".
Sweet dreams
this sounds awesome: When the input signal from the filter exceeds the gate-on threshold the sampler plays the loop for that channel. When the incoming signal falls below the gate-off level the loop gets released and decays away. 2 minutes into the track and loving it.
I too love that cello sound. nice track.
Love the cello. Interesting sample and treatment.
Classy piece of experimentation. Musically superb but I wish I understood more of how it was achieved.
Very cool overture.
I quite like it too! You're right in that it sounds like the beginning of something else, but very enjoyable!
EEEEEEeeeeerie!

Quite lovely!
nicely done!!

Great 24hr album octo!
Trippy, reminds me of days long gone :)
Love this track! The intro is especially great, really hooked me into it.
Enjoyed this one a lot. Simple beat but some great sounds and variations to keep it going.
This has a great, laid back vibe. I love the organs (must check out B4) and the horns. Sweet.
glu: :)
Sister is so cheap, not buying herself a thesaurus, that she has to steal "WOW!" from me... hands off! WOW! :)
Dreamy :)
This is awesomely impressive man.
Cool sound.
Sounds like film music, reminiscent of a western. Right now I'd like to be the hero striding into that storm because it is too HOT!
This one grew on me as it went along. The 'verbed guitars are very nice. I expect to hear more of them in due course ;-)
Good music to code to, kinda reminds me of Zatôichi.
Lovely, too short :)
Love this one.
Beautiful. Just beautiful.
Wow. Beautiful, grimy, like someone giving a last salute to a barge full of gravel going over a waterfall.

And thank you all guys. It's great to get feedback :)
MM: Well ... it hadn't occurred to me but I did just buy my first dub album and listen to it today ... maybe it did influence me.
