Not a song but a demonstration of an audio effect, that might be useful if you're putting a horror film together or something of that sort.
Assuming I remember the terms correctly, my voice was wired into the vocoder as the modulator and a Thor…
piano/strings/drum/bass, short

I feel kinda upset. My schedule the past 2 days has been getting jacked up by other things, so I seem to end up in the studio in the midst of an energy dip (granted, if I were eating/sleeping better, I shouldn…
This is an updated vocal of the song I wrote during FAWM/RPM.
I *had* thought that this was an improvement but when I listened to it later that night, it ended up just sounding like a *chorus* of flat-ness.
“my jetpack” a floaty, atmospheric type piece.
Notes:
I’m not thrilled with the strings (the part that only shows up once in the piece). I need to blend them more. They’re too abrupt.
I think the “percussion” may get too loud towards the end…
lullaby featuring piano (but of course!)
Notes:
Today I learned how to add an insert effect to the master channel. The song was way quiet so it got boosted via a limiter. Hurray.
another lullaby type piece

It seems that any time I feel confident about being able to continue doing a song a day, I jinx my next day.
Like last night, I made it known that I was probably going to continue with song a day in March, whilst…

Don't tell me you want flowers
Don't tell me what to do
You're special and you know it
So here's what I got you
It's another god damn love song
Another chance for me
To woo you
You're outta my league and you know…
Kind of a chillout, lullaby type tune.

Notes:
I think the shaker comes in too strong. I think the intro goes on for probably 1 or 2 more phrases than it should.

True to form, I used my new software to… do the same exact thing I’ve been doing most of this month.
So far I definitely miss Logic for pure piano, but I’ll have to see if there are workarounds or things that I’m missing in Record that will make…
I get to say that it borders on hip-hop because there’s a hip hop drum loop and a hip hop drum kit on it. I have no idea what to call it other than “electronic”. With a piano.
This is my second song using Record.
I was going through a book on…

This song was made by two different piano samples (both
from Sudara):
1. One was recorded by Sudara (and gang?) axing away at a hapless old piano in New Mexico.
2. today, I convinced Sudara to noodle on the piano and send it over to me…
The psyche is a weird place, I'll just talk about it musically.
The piece begins with the sounds of Sudara's autoharp, the weeping woodwind sounds of the clarinetist from Megafauna Lacrymosa , and a low kick-like percussive sound, which is…
This is one track where I can say, without reservation, that I am really happy with how it came out.
I worked up a beat I liked with 3 Stylus RMX parts making good use of chaos and time designer for the breaks.
For the first time I really…
and you didn't even have to spend the night to get it.
another one from the morning sessions...
Glu guides you through an instructional song, revealing secrets along the way.
Instrumentation: Director's comments included! beat boxing, real swords, acoustic guitar, synthesizer, vocals, drum programming, tabla, and tambourine. My apologies…
I've had a bit of a love/hate relationship with this one.
I enjoyed making the beats and think that part came out pretty good but everything after that felt rather haphazard and didn't feel right to me.
I was close to abandoning the track…
One of four tracks I did for the August 2009 24 hour challenge. This was the last track I did, and it shows.
I was pretty tired after finishing 3am chill, and had to mess round for ages mangling loops and trying out different things before…
Written, recorded, and mixed in 24 hours. August 01-02, 2009, from 6am to 6am.
Instrumentation: Two acoustic guitars, electric guitar (picked and bowed), fretless bass, about 7 different flutes, two tabla drums, rattles, tambourine, didgeridoo…
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…
I listened to the full 24. :)
I dig what you've done here and would definitely call this music and not noise. I would like to see you create some separate sections. Like, a breakdown for instance, where you go for something totally different rhythmically before returning to the original idea.
Keep on experimenting! :)
New stuff has been slow in coming for me lately, but I found this lurking on my hard drive from a while back. Frankly don't remember how I did it except that it was all live to 2 tracks and at one point one of my synth patches glitched out on…
Something completely different- Uilleann pipes(Irish bagpipes) and synth. I wrote this tune over 20 years ago in the style of traditional Irish slow airs. It was recorded way back in 1991 for an album that's been out of print for over 15 years…

instrumentation:
Mostly electric guitar and violin bow. The end is accompanied by my blubbing and a haunting sound recorded by Sudara (an ebow against what I think is a piano string... he'll have…
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…
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!
The musical parts were recording using my Kurzweil SP3X…
Comments on yelyah's stuff
Yeah! Your accent's gone really awry! :-)
Liking! More!!
Pitch sounds okay to me. Cool track.
A lot of nice snippets of musical creation in this album :)
Really like these solo piano pieces. A good soundtrack for winter. KAC
beautiful to listen to at sunrise
Lovely! Really like those cascading notes at the end
Very pretty! Like it!
That's a little different for you. nice!
WWaaaahoooo! Rock and Roll! Neat vocals too.
Agree with Tess. One of your best!
I love this. Beautiful, simple, elegant. My favourite ever of yours. (Re. notes - shaker's perfect! Intro's perfect!)
Magnificent!
I'm such a sucker for beautiful piano. Well played.
Great Hayley, your idea grew nicely. I especially like the strings with it. This is a keeper. I'm hooked :)
really good. don't know if I commented on it already or not. been liking the various piano comps though!
Lovely melody!
Very Very cool!!I love reversed reverb and delay effects
Has a great feel to this one. If you ever want some lead guitar added let me know , i would be glad to give this tune a shot.
Yay indeed! Twinkly and sparkly also.

Who knew that destroying a piano could be so beautiful. Hang on - How'd you manage to pull that one off? :)
Nice! How come your demos don't really sound like demos? :)
Congrats! Nice tune. And perfection is overrated, because if it were perfect, there'd be nowhere else to go but down, right? :)
And now it's time for your Local on the 8's. Yeah, baby!
Wow. I am always amazed at how you can blend all of these unrelated elements into a very musical sounding track. How do you do it?? :)
Great job on this one! Keep it up. :)
Where on earth do you come up with this stuff? I'm in awe.
Freaking hilarious!
Digging the glitchy bits and the synths!
Really enjoyed all of your 24 hour creations. Congrats for finishing the challenge!
Holy wow! I can't even fathom being this creative for an afternoon, let alone 24 straight hours!

This is fantastic as always. Keep 'em coming!
Hooray we have a theme! I continue to be amazed at your production skills.
I've always wondered what your Uilleann pipes music sounded like, since I saw it mentioned in your profile. Keep it coming. I want some more. :)
Love the atmosphere! I would never have guessed what instruments you used to create this if you hadn't listed them.
love the breakdown around 1:45. Nicely done!
A nice relaxing end to a hectic day!
wonderful use of textures and very cinematic as others have said :)
Love the blending going on in this one. And what a title! :)
