Logic's noise gate and vocal transformer are my new best friends. I really enjoyed messing with them and thought I'd have another go.
I've always quite liked pulsing ambient and it seemed to come naturally. This time we have Rytme playing Kore…
This is a very simple composition using two Elysium generators with an oscillator controlling the pulse count of the first and the offset of the second. Elysium is playing Kore 2's "Abendstern" instrument through a multi-compressor effect called…

I thought I would try a slower piece so Rytme is running at 90BPM and I have introduced a density function that allows me to create sparser pieces.
MIDI from Rytme is going to a single track in Logic hosting Kontakt 3 with the Soniccouture…

Warning: silliness ahead!
alloy (along with this months issue of MusicTech) got me into the creative possibility of gate and pitch shifting effects so I spent a happy morning playing with Logic's noise gate, vocal shifter, and ring shifter…

A second experiment with my new Rytme sequencer. This time Rytme is being fed into Logic to a track containing Kore 2 which is, in turn, hosting Kontakt 3 and the lovely Guzheng from Soniccouture (I bought the instrument before the new year but…

Okay so I enjoyed doing Glubotism1 enough that I thought I'd take a second crack at it. Same tools but took a different approach to how I used Stylus RMX and I introduced some of it's built-in effects on some of the parts. Also I bused RMX and…
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…
thanks for listening to the glubotic RPM! This morning, I just gave it my first listen since March and I started getting excited about working on an updated version. it's interesting to see who favors which tracks.

I'm going through something of a dark time at the moment and it's a rare evening I actually have something tangible to show for it. Mostly it's frustration, depression, and a blanket of grey despair. Tonight was different and I can only hope that…
Thank you for the kind words.
This track has been interesting for me in that, having felt paralysed for so long, I was in major haste to push it out the door. I didn't stop to think or evaluate, let alone try things different. I just slapped it together and uploaded it.
And it is a wild mess.
And I think it's very me.
I thought I'd listen once then move on. But I've found myself listening to it over and over again. Of the 37 track plays I would guess almost 30 of them are mine.
Sister's right in that it has some nice bits around 3m and, for me, especially 5m. If the whole could be as good as those parts I think I'd **really** have something.
But where I thought I might be embarrassed at throwing up some half-finished thing instead I've discovered I enjoy this in all it's misshapen beauty.
I've started applying the same techniques I used for this in a more deliberate way and I am struggling. Which is great, it feels great to have creative problems again!
I have issues at my house, sometimes they manifest themselves in my tracks. In this case, the bassoon and oboe represent the mouse. The guitar is the peanut-butter.
I am really exited about the potential of the digital revolution in audio. I have been at it for about a year and a half. I own Logic, Live8 and use Elysium and gleetchlab3. I am also a bluegrass banjo player, former opera singer and guitar player…
This piece has a wonderful otherworldliness to it. The beat anchors it to our time & place but it's easy to imagine it being enjoyed by alien ears. Kudos.
This is from years ago, living in santa fe.
I loved driving around in my little 1980s toyota corolla and listening to cassettes. I loved the way they sounded.
So I took a piano song I was working on, recorded it to cassette, dragged mic…
After several more listens my enthusiasm for this piece is undiminished. Not to take anything away from the rest of it but the section from 5:00 to 8:21 is as good, interesting, and moving a piece of piano music as I have ever heard. I'd love you to transcribe this piece so I could have a go at playing it and, who knows?, maybe we could duet one day!

Boy do I love this, the music is awesome - just awesome - and I love when you whistle along as you're enjoying different bits. I can imagine doing it myself! Once again AWESOME++
still one of my personal faves. - although i'd wish to redo some parts, i'm stuck with this version, since i don't own one of the synths used there anymore..

Archival stuff from my distant past with former bandmates in Scartaglen. A set of traditional Irish tunes. Rescued from a cassette tape done at a concert back in the early 90's. Myself on Uilleann pipes and whistle. Mike dugger on guitar and fiddle…
A fun childrens tune from 2008, it really ought to be a hot fiddle tune but i don't have a hot fiddle.

Many nebulae form from the gravitational collapse of gas in the interstellar medium. As the material collapses under its own weight, massive stars may form in the center, and their ultraviolet radiation ionises the surrounding gas, making it visible…
Another in my series of evolving sonic noise experiments.
The source for this piece was a recording from my latest Reaktor instrument [TMA-2](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lyEEW-tCNL4) with a sample map constructed from [Richard Devines](http…
@MannequinRaces: Reaktor is still a great tool for experimenting with sound design and, as a bonus, you get a fantastic range of great instruments and effects. It does require some effort to learn and the program has some issues but it's totally worth it.
Thanks for your suggestions about creating space. You're right in that I just went for the first fast panning preset I liked and it is kind of monotonous after a while.
When I was working mostly in Logic I used to automate volume a lot which can also create space. But this is something I don't find as natural in Ableton. I think it's a consequence of the Session/Arrangement dichotomy that I'm not as happy with yet.
I'm working on something new & again using TMA-2 as one of my sources. I'll see if I can do a better job with it.
Comments on Mr Sandbags's stuff
Hrmm... where did my reverb tail get to...
you really got something good here, I love the sounds and the ambient you created
wow!
Love the sound, and love the way you achieved it!
Laid back feel and interesting sound design elements.
The kind of music that put my mind on somewhere that I feel that visited in person but I don't know where is .......
I love it!
you are a super class sound designer with these experiments. I'd love to incorporate your work in some future mixes.
Yeah this works for me too. Great while I'm working - it's really nice to concentrate to this.
You've hit on something special here.
Damn, this is Funky with a capital F. Had me getting freaky in my chair.
oh yeah! like the beat... Bom chk! Bom chk! --bp bp --bp bp
Another success, nice one.
Your happy morning is a joy to hear! I need to get more effects.
Thanks Sister, best comment evar!
Damn, you make me want to make a short film about beautiful oriental ladies, slighting young but highly over-reaching suitors.
I thought that was a real Kora for a while there. Nicely done!
think I might do another mix of this... keeping the integrity of this track this time.

these Guzheng tracks are awesome. could listen to a series of these while writing/reading... good mood music.

Like this one, leaves me wanting more.
Work of art my man, work of art. I humbly salute you.
I sure enjoyed that.
Please come do some gigs in England!
This stuff is great to listen to, lovely warm ambience.
I'm with underwood :)

Fab, quite lifted my spirits! :)
Nice one Centurion.
Love this piece Lalo, beautiful.
That was lovely.
Like it.. Go Bunny!
Love this.
Awww who cares if you uploaded this before, it's great. You two play brilliantly together. I'd like to see it on video.
Bravo, superb intro. Love your voice & playing here.
