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).

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…

I needed 2m02 to finish the album. I was completely spent and without a drop of creative juice left. Just noodling with an Omnisphere patch when one of my cats, Mississippi, jumped on my keyboard and proceeded to walk up and down and sit on various…
I'm not quite sure where I was going with this. I love the Abaska Bong sound and was trying to pair it with something complementary. After going through some truly weird combinations I came up with this.
Thanks fr the quick replys. I was just wondering about that sound, I thought it was probably something like what you described but I thought it would be interesting if it was a random found sound. Its still interesting, no offense I hope.
I've been up for almost 24 hrs so I decided to listen to some of the 24 hr albums I don't get to enough. Your "about" sections for these songs are too negative! This is good stuff.

Hey sandbags! You just helped me with Elysium, thanks! And you kinda introduced me to this site so thanks again!! :-) Been checking out your tunes and what you have done with that app. Loving this one! :-)

An ambient guitar piece done rather quickly, warts and all.
Stems from ideas I've been developing on my new JamMan looper pedal (catnip for guitarists if there ever was such a thing).
That was lovely. I can quite easily see how you would just jam for hours and never get around to recording. Which probably means you should be on stage!
Okay this is one for the serious noise freaks only.
This is three instances of Loop Shifter that I played in real time using my Novation Launchpad.
Turns out the launchpad makes a great keyboard for loop shifter, better than a real keyboard…
Thanks folks. When I put this one up I was afraid it would be a bit far out but, on repeated listenings, I think it's more accessible than I imagined. Glad you like it.
Body Disconnected (2002) was written to accompany choreography by Lauren Lutrell. The process included importing video clips of dance movements into the music programs I was using and scoring music to them as one might with a film soundtrack…
This is a beautiful work. The various sections are interesting in themselves but I also love how you've blended them together, the changes work really well. Bravo!
Love this. I've tried to make pieces like this but it's beyond my talent for arrangement at this point. I love how you've blended traditional sounds with experimental timbres. Nicely done!
Oh you've outdone yourself this time. What a wonderful piece. By three minutes I was being propelled through the inky void towards unknown stars. I could have listened to this **forever**.
This is a first test of a sequencer I built, using Max for Live, based on Audio Damage's latest plugin [Axon](http://www.audiodamage.com/instruments/product.php?pid=AD026).
Axon looks great but I'm saving for a Mac Pro so, to save money, I…
I've really enjoyed these tracks you've just uploaded but this one is easily my favourite. Evocative blending of sounds with a sketchy vocal that really fits. Nicely done.
this was an accidental song. I was making another song for which the main two loops of this song were simply the ending. The first of these loops is so visually stunning, I just knew It was its own bar.
More LoopShifted piano accompanied by Stylus RMX and Omnisphere. At over eight minutes it's perhaps a little self-indulgent but maybe it's more like punting down the river Styx than jet-skiing on a lake of fire.
Ah mes non, it appears I have mislead you. What sounds like a guitar is in fact.. a guitar. It's one of the very nice lap steel guitars from Omnisphere and I play the chords I used for the piano part which was used to create the main glitchmosphere.
Very raw, completely improved piece. One track, one take.
Guitar -> GT-10 -> JamMan Stereo
A touch of Discord 3 was added as a send effect. Limiting on the master track. Et voila.
Sorry about the clipping.
Recommended listening…
Here's to insignificance my friend. May you never be squashed like a bug.
Instruments used: Kontakt, LoopShifter, Stylus RMX
Effects used: Eos, DubStation, Replicant, Augustus Loop
Comments on Mr Sandbags's stuff
Too cool- what a great texture!!
OMG, this is sooo excellent!
It sounds like there's some kind of VibraSlap reverb unit being used on this; if there isn't I guess I'll have to invent it...
WOW - this is excellent! Going on my favorites list right now!
Very very cool. I think you're definitely on to something.
I like the solid sound and beat!
Thanks for the kid words guys, appreciated!
Cool! There's so much good panning going on I had to instantly listen again with headphones.
Like the evolving factory sounds.. busy little glubots building themselves.. multiplying to take on the world!
Very compelling!
did you keep any of the truly weird combonations? I'd love to hear those.

interesting soundscape
groovy!
This is really wonderful. I think that the tempi changes really add something special.
Nice Groove!

Nice gritty sounds.

Short but sweet.
This is another of those tracks where I look for the 'double favourite' button in vain.
I enjoyed this a lot. Would that I would be able to improvise like this one day.
Oh you've outdone yourself this time. What a wonderful piece. By three minutes I was being propelled through the inky void towards unknown stars. I could have listened to this **forever**.
Strangeness after my own heart.
Really enjoyed this one, some great sounds and placement of those sounds.
Yeah my apologies to all listeners for not putting a fat reverb tail on this one. I wasn't thinking too hard. I might do that an re-upload it.
Love this.

Awesome. Yes there was a bit of clipping in there but who cares really? This was very listenable.
Now I'm feeling all left out because I have no headphones :(
I think after all I like this version best. It has a smooth, easy feel to it, like cruising through the night on a deserted motorway.
Lovely way to slide into the morning.
