This is probably what it feels like to be the Northern Lights.

Below the Subconscious II

| No Comments | No TrackBacks
This is a tune I stitched together, as a little test, after getting my studio all set up. It is really gloomy, for some reason. Anyway, it has simple 7/8 drums (with too much snare), a simple acoustic guitar, processed "liquid", not-loud-enough bass guitar and processed Juno-106 keyboard. I play all the instruments but there are no frills, no fills and no solos.

More GarageBand foolery - Three compositions.

Guitar Oriented

| No Comments | No TrackBacks
These are three tunes I made after getting my Godin. The first is exactly what it sounds like when I practice.  Next is an experimental piece made trying out some creepy sounding tonalities.  Last is a "contemplation" piece meant to illustrate my mental state.

These are a series of 13 GarageBand compositions I whipped up over the course of a few months, after deciding to fool with Apple Loops.  They are made from loops and samples but they are meticulously composed, orchestrated and, in the end, tweezed heavily.

I use a Mac Powerbook connected to an SGI 1600SW 17" flatpanel monitor with the aid of a Keyspan Express Remote control and Nostromo SpeedPad n52:
