Kind of a slightly twee sadgirl pop song, of the very trans variety. [more inside]

For the "minimally viable music" Disquiet Junto prompt, I made a piece built entirely from a recording I made of popcorn popping.

Please listen to it while looking at the sky, While making incredible plans, While thinking about the past, the future, or both. Please listen to it while working, While calculating equations too complex for me, While speculating, while hoping.

I heard a vocal sample and imagined three little frogs were singing it and so I had a little fun. [more inside]

Another AO jam - this time using a cellular algorithm to derive a melody and a few drum triggers that I mess with and layer under some drones. [more inside]

#3 song for FAWM 2022. Tip of the hat to Exiting The Vampire Castle for inspiring the title. This one's about cancellation, and the toxicity of the queer community. Thankfully for all of us, neither of those things exist. [more inside]

This is the second of my FAWM 2022 pieces. Kind of a doom/prog/folk thing. Witch rock. Momcore. [more inside]

My journey of writing pop punk songs from thirty years ago continues apace. This one started as a TikTok and then I banged out this demo in my living room today. I'm trying to get better at writing choruses and actually using my voice.

Basically, I wrote a tool to graph this into midi. Fun fact: It does not actually slow down.

Here's a cover based on a song by The Church that I recorded in Logic Pro. Drum track is from apple loops. This is a pour-a-glass-of-wine or pack-a-bowl and kick back kind of song.

I'm doing February Album Writing Month, or FAWM. My music career has been mostly as a bassist and engineer. I play a ton of instruments. But I never really wrote songs. Once in a blue moon when inspired. But I wrote one in six hours tonight. Tracking vocals and guitar feedback tomorrow. But here's the instrumental version, because I'm too excited not to post it anywhere. Is it a masterpiece? No. Is it good? No. But I had zero inspiration and dug in anyway. And I made something! So go me.

Is anyone up for Synthruary? It's one of those things where you take a shot and making something for most of the month. It's very open-ended, and you can drop in and out as you please. posted by ignignokt at 4:11 PM PST - 3 comments

This is a piece that I recorded by triple-tracking myself playing an FM synthesis patch (the "twist" being that it has an extra cosine applied to the modulated signal) written in Pure Data. [more inside]
