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.
The major difference here is the addition of playback modes and, in this case, the *slicer…
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…

This is a track I've been working on for quite a while so I am glad to finally have it out of my head.
I have a kind of love/hate relationship with time and its humble functionary, the clock. Ticking, in particular, is something I am ambivalent…
I clicked on more so I started from the beg. again. As I am listening...with the idea of a video running through my mind:
man in room. His face gradually becomes more frantic as the clocks increase. Images of his life flash before his eyes very rapidly to reflect the following spoken words;
The clocks.....the clocks won't stop.
They remind me of my brevity.
As I approach the end of my time...
The clocks...the clocks go faster and
faster! Yelling in my ears....laughing
and taunting me!
I see everyone that's come and gone..
I see years and years ago...as if it
were only minutes ago.
Moments which made me smile and laugh
now make me sad and cry...
Time...time...ticking endlessly...
Does it ever really stop?
Time is now the wild beast which chases us through space...no longer is it
the tigers and bears. It's time which rips
and tears.
Images flow with the clocks...speeding up
and slowing down. I wish I could animate a tiger-clock. lol..a clock shaped like a tiger chasing someone.

Did you include that clock which was recently made to last for 10,000 years>? The most precise clock ever created? It's probably mostly silent....soo.. hehe. You should do a video for this one...

Well now, this is actually a very old track, made back in March '09 and not that long after I started learning piano.
I was learning a very simple 12-bar blues piece and getting bored with the piano sound I started messing about with the Logic…

...after listening at about 5:40 I detected I live inside a clock. No - many clocks. Going mad with it/them... P.S. Better to listen [tick] in headphones or - even better [tick-tack] - thru studio monitors, loudddddd.

Part of a sound walk that takes place through the Station North district of Baltimore. This piece is the last segment of the walk.
Live 8, Logic, field recordings, clay flute, and samples from Tennyson's "Bugle Song".
4 stereo guitar tracks played out one at a time.
Another late night - early morning recording.
I like to keep a positive attitude about the things that haunt me, but sometimes dreams change course unexpectedly, and the worms creep in.
24-hour album.
This album is a collage of several disconnected pieces recorded & mixed over 18 hours or so.
I've left it as a single long track, but here's a sort of navigational guide if you want to skip around:

Half way through and, so far, this has been quite a trip. I love how you have blended ambience and anti-ambience without a huge explosion! It's quite freaky to be surrounded by heavy grinding guitars and know that, just moments ago, I was bathing in a smooth still pond.
i remember the exact moment my tears fell...
this song was written for my dad...it sums up the loss i feel...i dealt with my emotions in the only way i know how...
I frequently go on training skates on a beach front trail. The parking lot is just off of a major highway bridge (the Burlington Skyway for those that know it). It's always an interesting sound there...
I recently acquired got a little Pocketrax…
Well... what do you say?
I think you have made something very beautiful and involving. I love the way that, at the beginning (especially but also, to a degree, throughout the piece), the whole thing moves as if riding waves.
The sounds are interesting but seem to blend quite seamlessly, I think the arrangement is very good. I particularly like the use of resonation, I think it creates a great ambience towards the end of the track.
I really wasn't ready for it to end.
A typical folk song.
Written and recorded in about an hour for the 24 hour album (attempted on March 13th). Excuse roughness and vocal glitches, it was 2am and this was my first full take.
Thanks to montgomeru for his chord suggestions…
Kind of a chillout, lullaby type tune.
—
Notes:
I think the shaker comes in too strong. I think the intro goes on for probably 1 or 2 more phrases than it should.
Gurgling, bubbling, churning.
This is the last track of the March 2010 24 hour challenge.
The process...
- find some interesting synth sounds (have collected many)
- work out some basic chords
- do some filtering
- add two tracks of e-bow…
So I just figured out that the EXS24 sampler instrument in Logic Pro (the DAW I use) can also import SoundFont2 files, which I happened to have a bunch of from a previous life as a Cakewalk user. All the tracks in this tune were played using old…
Well i gues i was just sitting bored at home in new years even and i came up with the hook , then just worked on it on and off, and ended up with this.
Hope you enjoy it :)
Very much. I'd say time well spent. The percussion has a really crisp snap to it that I love (wish I could figure that trick out myself) and everything layers well and sounds great. Kudos!
I came up with the initial rhythmic riff on my bass, then looped it to create the basis for this track. Then, I layered another "lead" bass track on top of that, added some percussion, and finally topped it off with an electric piano-ish sound…
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…
Thanks again for all the kind words. I think the next piece will be very largely based on vocals, if I can get some more female voices to balance things out!
Comments on Mr Sandbags's stuff
Well done mate very cool
Very pretty!
Very very cool.
this should be on every astronaut's ipod. keep up the good work fella. I'd like to hear what else you have to offer us.
Peaceful and vibrant. Nice work!

Really interesting composition, very cleverly put together.
This gives me the chills. You should be doing this for money.
I love this! It would be fabulous with dance choreographed. You are a very interesting thinker!

Very cool. Enjoyed reading the notes, it's obvious you put a lot of work into it.
Time well spent.
Great job. Who would have thought that eight minutes of clock sounds could be that interesting. Love the way it builds.
Tick tock make it stop. This is just utterly creepy. Smashing job, Sir!
That's madness for sure mate great track
I have been waiting to hear this ever since you requested clock samples in the forums. Gotta love the creativity. Extremely well done.
Bravo! I found myself startled by some of the clocks and looking to the side. Mission well executed.
this is some good stuff.
This is awesome!

Awesome piece you've made here. So much in it but all blended superbly. I especially love the voices towards the end.
Oh yeah, liked this a lot.
Really enjoyed this piece.
Well you were wondering yesterday how it would come together and I can tell you, it came together great! An amazing effort, bravo!

Beautiful playing and something reminiscent of Glu about the birdsong & engine noise which works really well here. Kudos!
Full of desolation and dark overtones. Beautiful.

You may be surprised to hear it, but I really like this one!
Beautiful.
Strange and understated, I really love this.
Cool sound. More gritty bass which we like :)

Like this one a lot, it's got a haunting quality to it.
You asked for criticism but I can't give you any. I can only echo dAb and Sister's comments; this is great.
Thanks again for all the kind words. I think the next piece will be very largely based on vocals, if I can get some more female voices to balance things out!
Love your sound.
You're having wayyyy too much fun here :)
I think the two of you should be congratulated, then taken into care :)
Ah the infamous!
