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.

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…

It is a promise to people to get energized from me to do what they need to do. We can all share to…
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
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!

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 :)
