Tomorrow Came (2013 : The Year in Review)

Well, not really. But Disquiet Junto Project #0104 had us go through our past year’s work, and splice five seconds per month into a one minute year-in-review piece: Details (and links to the source tracks) are at the SoundCloud Link. In other news, last week’s Disquiet had us make a secular holiday track, using material […]

a shining tree [disquiet0102-sonictinsel]

For Disquiet Junto Project #0102, we were asked to make a one-minute loop that was “glistening, reflective and gentle” to make a secular holiday track: Done in Ableton Live. Used a Collision patch to make the tolling sound, and ran a Korg WAVESTATION soft synth through the effects part of the emulated Korg MS-20 to […]

the beth-el construction company

Uploaded the second drone of the series of tracks I’ve been working on: Like the previous track, this one was done in Ableton Live (still trying to wrap my brain around Suite 9). Some of the core sounds were made in AudioMulch (the ‘collision’ sounds in the background are actually a guitar run through AM, […]

“abraxas, incorporated” (new drone)

I’ve still been playing with Ableton 9, as time has allowed.  Gone back to drone for a bit: The main drone tones are two of Live’s “Resonator” presets, modified somewhat.  Also used four Audiomulch-treated guitar tracks I had created for another project and not yet used. I’d like to do three more of these…

New Bandcamp Release: Ghosted

Finally had a chance for final mastering and upload of this, my second bandcamp release: This is best described as a self-remix piece. The core sound materials were produced in the period 2001-2004. Some of these were fully-formed pieces in their own right (e.g. a version of comes pale horse, from 2002; and an unused […]

Upload: Three Pure(ish) Tone Studies in Audiomulch

I’ve been playing around with Audiomulch for a couple of months now, to the point where it has managed to replace my aging copy of Ableton Live (v5.2.2… get off my lawn!!!) as my go-to environment for electronic noodling. I like the ‘level’ Audiomulch inhabits– it’s not the ubiquitous high-level, strip-chart style DAW– it’s not […]

new uploads: industry, comes pale horse.

Uploaded two more drafts to the soundcloud site, minor remixes from the 2002 material: industry and comes pale horse. This one is built on some AM radio samples. Mostly random news/talk radio late one night in the Christmas season, whatever sounds I happened to slew by as I moved the radio dial back and forth […]
