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…
Glitchatom-1 is the first in a series of experimental pieces where I'm trying to learn about glitching and get more familiar with Reaktor.
In this piece I'm using Peter Dines [Frankenloop ensemble](http://kore.noisepages.com/2008/06/20/introducing…

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/).

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!

Back to basics here. recorded with the Yeti mic.
Ramblin' round your city,ramblin' round your town
I never see a friend I know
As I go ramblin' round boys
As I go ramblin' round
My sweetheart and my parents I left in my old hometown…
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…
@MMI: Boite Diabolique seems to be quite good at creating those kind of movements. It just seems to naturally fall out of working with it. In fact it might be difficult to avoid them :)

I really like choirs and wanted to add something to this track but originally what I had in mind was a low, held, choral "rumble" to add something organic but ominous.
But I couldn't make that work and ended up with these chopped swells drifting in and out instead. Not the same effect at all.

There is stretching involved but not using Paulstretch. I could never make that thing work for me.
With this piece I liked how the click ticks turned into something like breathing.
Come Tomorrow
-
I'm like a tumbleweed, got no roots
I'm like a climbing vine, leaves and chutes
Come tomorrow, I might not be around
Come tomorrow
I'm a reflection, you see me in your mirror
A missed connection, so far and yet right here…
Comments on Mr Sandbags's stuff
Listening to all of this was like hearing a great album. Can't wait to try the sequencer!
Sweet! Sounds great to me. I've always wanted to try out Reaktor!
Glitchtastic!
Cool. I made once a similar piece. At least it sounded similar. I remember i tried to follow one of Messiaen's scales.

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

Wow what a cool sound this is great mate and thanks for your recent comment.

Enjoyed that :)
There's something warm about this despite it being a little disorienting to listen to and, yes, some nice squelchy sounds :)

@MTC: lol... thank you
@bethan: probably i need about 50' clearance all around!
Just got around to listening to this and I think your mojo is intact because it's really lovely.
Big noise, I like it!
Growling and full of foreboding. Feel more like hiding behind the sofa than dancing though :)

Lovely to drift along to.
Fun track.
Great track... how many Marlboro's do you smoke to get that voice!?
Great sound mix, love the guitar in there.
Great song.
I'm really enjoying your tracks. Not just the sound but also the kind of relaxed style that seems to totally unlike my own stuff. Excellent.
Love this one, great sound, raw feel, and it that a banjo?
Enjoying your sound.
Lovely, dreamy, sweet sound.
This feels like the soundtrack to "Buck Rogers in the 21st century" re-imagined by Ronald D. Moore. Kudos.
