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…
A single layer experimental composition using Elysium 0.7.7 playing the Kore 2 instrument 'Abaska Bong' through the 'Hello Repeat' effect from the Kore 2 factory library.
In this track both the tempo and the pulse rate of the generators are…
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…
don't be so hard on yourself. Featuring your home-brewed software deserves mad props! I like this track, and I look forward to your release of Elysium. Good work!
My favorite so far from your 24 hours, the electric guitar sounding sounds are really incredible. I imagine sitting in a dark cave, water-a-dripping, shadows playing across the walls, wide-eyed and alert.
Congrats Matt! I'm on your fourth track, so far an absolute success. This one reminds me of assignments from composition classes back at Oberlin. It's been amazing to hear all of the various sounds and moods powered by your machine o love, Elysium...
A jarring Elysium composition, structurally similar to Komposition-1 but using the Kore 2 instruments "Boesen Buddy" and "Trembling strings" played simultaneously. I think I was also using an osciallator to control note velocity. I need more flexibility…
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.

A rather more fundamentally experimental piece with Reichenbach's new *drift* mode. In this mode a probability matrix controls periodic changes in the loop length and/or position.
Once more I am using one of the awesome [Rekkerd mixed bag](http…
I'm a complete idiot when it comes to all things midi related. Recently got myself a midi keyboard though and came up with this short piece just messing with sounds in Proteus. Really looking forward to the possibilities of combining this sort…
Fun, I love messing around like this myself. MIDI is a different kind of musical power and, combined with your talents for playing with real instruments... well I look forward to the mayhem to come :)
Mining the archives a bit. This is an alternate take of my "Jimi Jam" from a couple of years ago. Live to 2 tracks with the Jamman. Really only sounds OK when cranked up loud enough that your eardrums threaten to meet in the middle. LOL!!
Our sun is in a long, cool, quiet period right now. But average ocean temps are the highest ever, and polar ice and glaciers are melting at an alarming rate. Something is going on here.
"pastlife laptops and attic instruments" is a composition from 2004 that I wrote to perform with saxophonist Brian Sacawa. This is the pre-recorded electronic part that accompanies a (mostly) written-out saxophone part and an ad libitum improvisation…
A little something that came out of playing with the Max4Live content.
The guitar sound, which I'm particularly happy with is a combination of my GT-10, CamelSpace and the M4L buffer shuffler.
Something I'm working on. I'm a sucker for 5/4 time these days.
The biggest issue is the vocals which are sort of a placeholder right now until I re-write and re-record them, or maybe even find someone who can actually sing to lay something down!
This song is based around a sample that I took of my dish washer. The sample starts out simple enough and then gets more chopped up at the end. The song evolved from there. Also in this song is a new pedal I got that is a photo theremin. You…

Very interesting! Good one!
Nice!
Ive been listening to your stuff and its great...really hypnotic...
epic.i would have loved to hear some raspy whispery voice hiding in the background.nice track.
I meant to comment a couple days ago. This song is epic. Such atmosphere. Great work on this playlist.
real cool, looking forward to hear the rest of your 24

Really like the sounds and ambience. Great song title!
don't be so hard on yourself. Featuring your home-brewed software deserves mad props! I like this track, and I look forward to your release of Elysium. Good work!
This makes me smile on the inside...nice.
Great stereo field shifts. I like!
Very well done!

Brilliant project - an astonishing 24 hours!
Very dramatic, sure you didn't sample from a thriller movie? ;-)
I hear a drum and bass beat in my mind when I listen to this. It's a great scene!
Sounds like a haunted merry-go-round. Very cool!
Man I love this stuff.

Thanks folks, your comments made me smile :)

Took your advice and my ears are now bleeding but happy :)
I for one am grateful for our impending roasting if it inspires you to make such music :)
Enjoyed this very much Erik. Great beat and so many interesting sounds in there.
This is a very odd approach to music.
If they do another remake of War of the Worlds I'm putting your name down for the soundtrack.
Ah, love this.. especially the change just after the 2:00 mark. It seems that, in the right circumstances, schmalz can be a good thing :)
Another sweet track. I hope it won't be too long before you have some more stuff to upload!
I think it's awesome that I have no clue what your "tech" means. Doesn't stop me loving the sound :)
Not a rock fan here but I enjoyed this very much!
Beautiful.
Absolutely love the sound you've created here.
Man I'd love to come here you play this sort of stuff. Fabulous.
I liked it. There's something pleasing about the tension between the lackadaisical vocal style and the distortion on the beats.
Bizarre and terrific. I'd have had no clue what it was if you hadn't said. Great sample. What were you playing it through?
Boy that was great, lovely ambience.
I like it.
Melancholy and touching.
Beautiful. Again the piano is also lovely.
