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.

This is my first run through the 7th Goldberg variation. It's been about a month since I started practicing it. This is the first time I "made it"—meaning, it's a bit fumbling and pushes and pulls, but hey, I hit all the notes!
I've played…
2nd in my series of granular/glitch piano creations.
This time I am trying out a new instrument called Cumulus with a sample from SoundIron Emotional Piano. I setup the scene points and let the internal sequencer run, then put it through Audio…
First demo of the finished Novaphone 340 Grand instrument (v1.0.4) including some of the sample content that will be released with the final instrument. In this case I used 5 samples of a Reaktor based drone generator by [nofi](http://soundcloud…
Really nice Bruce.
I do wish I could figure out improvFriday. Every time I think about it I go to the site and have no clue what to do next or how people upload or even if they are welcome to. It's all so baffling.
Something I've been listening to this morning on repeat so I thought I would record and share it.
At heart it's two instances of the Morpheus metallophone instrument layered together with some nice verb and a bit of compression.
One of the…
A micro-tonal piece made using one instance of the Novaphone 340 ("Imperial") playing 3 piano samples from SoundIron's "Emotional Piano 2.0".
The samples were sequenced using a MIDI keyboard using the Novaphone Micro-8 scale (1/8 semitone per…
Some kind of rap-music. Made with a little bit tongue in cheek approach. I've filtered the rap artists voice so much that i'd rather leave his name unpublished.
Sometime yesterday, sandbags posted "In the Ocean of Night".
Fuelled by a lovely walk and some pints, I was inspired to make some additions.
Technical/process details:
Guitar was my Michael Kelly going into GT-10 which had compressor, delay…
Loved this as soon as I heard it. You've really nailed the crunchy yet spacey guitar texture and I think the two blend well together. Greater than the sum of it's parts!
This is the first piece made with a Reaktor instrument I built today that I have called "Xylo".
Xylo is a sampler that plays a region of the sample back and forth with a 10s release time. Each note defines a region of a different length (but…

This started with a couple of samples in a new version of Boite Diabolique where the samplers slide over them at different rates and varying granular density. I recorded some of that as I varied the rates and then brought the recording into Live…
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!
Comments made by Mr Sandbags
Bravo! Bravo!
I think it's too long, not enough variation, and needs at least some filtering. Might try a cello next time, or maybe a harmonica.
@Bethan: thanks... something like "Passing of the comet" would have been a much better title :)
@igor: it's often the way with poetry, no? But you offer an interesting historical footnote :) But, in a sense, the poem is a distraction.
Really nice Bruce. I do wish I could figure out improvFriday. Every time I think about it I go to the site and have no clue what to do next or how people upload or even if they are welcome to. It's all so baffling.
Like I said for the demo, really strong track with a great sound & vocal. I like this one very much.
@igor: words fail me :) @sister: thank you :)
@Bethan: thanks... my imagery was of drifting far out on the edge of the solar system. A very similar feel... down in the inky depths.
Like your sound and the vocal, good track.
That's pretty cool. Wasn't sure what to expect, but I like it.
That was quite a trip!
Cool track.
Loved this as soon as I heard it. You've really nailed the crunchy yet spacey guitar texture and I think the two blend well together. Greater than the sum of it's parts!
Really cool. Geas is right, but you gotta play the UK!!
@wg: My plan to have Professor Plum take the fall has come to naught I see :)
@bethan: thanks, that's an evocative image, i like it.
@Johnny: thanks, i think it shows some promise :)
Grungy and great!
@Sis: Have to be careful of things swooping on you strangely :)
Even your rehearsals are ACE! :)
