This one almost got abandoned, I didn't seem to be getting anywhere with it.

Increasingly I think the music I am making is less about sound design and more about expressing some of the things inside of me that want out. I guess I may be starting to know what I want.

So far the comments have been about the sounds and their scariness. For me, however, the magic comes from those sounds used with a fairly funky and happy motif. The juxtaposition is very cool. Strange as it sounds, I hear a dub influence (cue you saying WTF?!?)

OK, eeeeasy. Move away from the sharp objects.
...Possibly reserve more intelligent listens/comments until the morning, but suffice to say, I think you probably achieved what you set out to achieve. *scared*

Space Trumpet was an excuse to try out my new plugin "Little Spacey" from Expert Sleepers and also to exercise the Kore sounds from Acoustic Refractions.
MIDI was supplied via IAC from Reaktor using Lazyfish's Spiral sequencer. The project…
I'm learning to play piano and my teacher has given me 'Old Joe Clarkes Boogie' to play. For 2 weeks it has kicked my ass. But I'm getting to grips with it now and this is my revenge!

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…

Ooh twinkly and thought-provoking. Makes me think of the ghost of a child following someone and hiding quickly behind corners and in doorways whenever the person being followed turns to look. I hear churchbells too. Haunting!

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…

The mannequins! They're ALIVE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Never throw anything you've created away. I've come close and always been happy about keeping stuff later. As to this track, supercool. Especially when that buzzy thing comes sweeping through. Awesome.
whew, good thing you kept this one. I like the chime.
grimey!
Like it! Especially the beats, halfway through I was thinking of wailing robots echoing through a very large spaceship
And thank you all guys. It's great to get feedback :)
MM: Well ... it hadn't occurred to me but I did just buy my first dub album and listen to it today ... maybe it did influence me.

okay, sandbags, time for a scary clown avatar. this one will make it difficult to turn out the light tonight.
So *that's* what a space trumpet sounds like. I had always wondered.
Like this nice and raw nice one
Hard to pass up a great title like this one. ;) (Excellent use of Augustus Loop, btw...)
*hides*
I never know what to say while I'm listening to this but I have to keep coming back and listen again!

Suspenceful...with ambient and cinematic overtones. One to really get the imagination working.
Atmospheric with a world beauty.
Wow- There should be a film to go with this. I'm not going to see it alone though!! Great sounds
Sounds good here! It turns my sunny green garden into the Outback!!
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! :)
