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…

So one too many coffee's and I have insomnia, I decided to mess about with my prototype sequencer Rytme and one of the Logic piano presets (Piano Motion).
I came up with this piece (in the key of A Major) which is rather repetitive (a quality…

Thank you for all the kind words.
@MMI: By 'mess' i refer to what I perceive as a lack of underlying structure combined with over-density.
I guess I wasn't so much being pejorative about my work (although given past comments I've made I can understand why that conclusion might be reached) so much as indicating that I am aiming towards something more deliberate, more structured, and sparser.
Of course whether I get there, or somewhere totally different, is quite another matter :)

nebulonicalchemy: that's a greatquestion. Glitchiness is something that is easy to understand when you already know and quite hard to describe otherwise. But here goes:
A glitch is usually a minor malfunction in a system where something doesn't work quite right (but isn't a complete meltdown). So in audio terms is might be described as something that doesn't sound right, in the context of the original sound, for a brief period.
The Finger is a MIDI driven effect unit that provides a number of effects suitable for creating audio glitches for example short loops, pitch shifting, comb filters, scratches and so on.
The untreated audio is fed through The Finger and, when it receives appropriate MIDI, it applies an effect but only for so long as the MIDI note is being played. So you get "audio glitches" interrupting the normal playback of the piece.
This piece is so convoluted that it's hard to hear a clear separation between glitch and non-glitch. I'll try and do something about that in the next piece.

Well the votes are in and nobody, who has commented, seems to think I have offended against Satie with this. That's kind of cool because this really is one of my favourite pieces of music and one that I hope, one day, to be able to play myself…

Butchering something is only fun if you love it. :-) But no, I don't think this is butchered. I think it's complex and packed with your trademark eerie, broken Victorian doll faces.

I'm uploading this more as a record for me than because I think either of these Destroyed Piano tracks are particularly listenable.
In this track I've used the same pattern as before but varied the probabilities of the various notes to try and…
Okay I need to say a few things. Please read before listening!
I did not do the 24 hour challenge but I did try and hang around in the chatroom as much as possible with Glu, SisterS, and ChrisM while they battled through it.
At about midnight…
Yesterday I bought a very lovely sample set from Soniccouture called [The Skiddaw Stones](http://www.soniccouture.com/en/products/p4-the-skiddaw-stones/).

Mess?!? I'd say the net result is genius. Super super cool.

like it. sound quite ethnic in a strange way
what is glitching?
Really like this, a good balance between the glitchiness and the rest of the track. Looking forward to seeing where you go with this
Sacrilege? Bah. This is technological art in the finest tradition. Inspired.
Not at all, this is nice...and haunting. Lovely.
agree with the Sister..'victorian doll faces' should be the new title. love it!

nice ambiance!
Love the haunting piano tones in this.
I dig!
like it, everything can be made to make music
Nice sample set! I love organic sounds like this. Sounds like you're banging away on this stuff in a monastery! In my mind I can hear monks chanting in the background!
Wow what a cool sound this is great mate and thanks for your recent comment.
