Sunrise -- Water Fowl
Tape manipulated saxophone and piano. [more inside]
Stacking Blocks
A late-night drone piece, composed from the manipulation of a single sample. [more inside]
Hallelujah (drone version)
Here's my version of the esteemed Mr. Cohen's paean to the religion of love. I dropped the rhythm and chord changes, and made a new melody. The very minimal accompaniment consists of three tracks from my trusty old JUNO 60 analog synth. That's it! Video version (photos by yours truly) at Vimeo and YouTube.
AF447
Mine is the last voice you will ever hear.
Silver Equine Heart
Dark psychedelia from deep within the Karst topography of the Missouri Ozarks . . . [more inside]
All Undone
For this month's MeFiMu Challenge, here's a song first written in 1986 and first recorded and released in 1991. This version was recorded earlier today. Rewrote the last verse. The old is new again...
The Last Native Speaker
Languid and lingual. [more inside]
chthonian planets 4
A curious alien has snatched one of our spacecraft from orbit and sent back a very strange signal...
hyperluminous quasar
Something a spacecraft might hear on the edge of the solar system
Laid Off
In the soundtrack to my life, this song is the last two days. [more inside]
event horizon
A dark, drone/noise piece that develops slowly
death is the road to awe
A relaxing drone; noise waveforms are dominant again
bide your time and everything becomes clear
Dark and moody. Lots of reverb. This is my fourth generative piece.
Traps
A song about how humans fool pests to kill them, from the pest's point of view. Made today in 2 hours. [more inside]
Atriplex - Don't Cross the Beams
A few minutes of crazy space noise and strange particle interactions. [more inside]
a few hundred thousand dead cannibals
A quiet, haunting track with drones, chimes, and muted bass beats [more inside]
isolated research station orbiting a bizarre planet
Endcaps of warbling drone punctuated by bass stabs, and a middle section of high rhythmic complexity [more inside]
surviving in the wilderness
An ambient noise / drone piece with a dark mood.
from troposphere to exosphere
More ambient / noise / drone stuff. [more inside]
Ancient Music Makers
My second song ever, made in Ableton Live. I figured out how to use the automation controls for better fades in/fades out, and I think it has a cleaner sound overall than my first one. Comments welcome.
Napping in the valley at dusk
My first song; made in Ableton Live 7 LE. It's a drone/ambient noise piece. Comments welcome, but please be gentle. (Warning: high dynamic range, starts out quiet, but gets loud.) [more inside]
theme from "gone"
butterflies
I just came up with this and recorded it on the H2 (I upped the volume a bit in Audition afterward). I'm pretty bad at finger picking and this owes a lot to John Fahey and Roy Harper. Not that they're bad at finger picking.... There's a faster and shorter version as well, but I liked the drone of this one more.
I Burned This Song
For this month's LYRIC Challenge. It has a very simple backing track, consisting of three elements: a drone (from my trusty Juno 60 analog synth), little wooden bells (from the 100 yen shop!), and my daughter's plastic ukulele, which has a picture of Maisy Mouse on it.
Urban Pleasure
A song about being young and living in the city and trying to stay sane. [more inside]
Ossuary I
WILDCARD Challenge - beatboxing & humming & processing.
Man of Very Few Words
Well, it's a few days late for the November '07 MeFi Music Challenge, but my on-the-fritz computer spent most of the month in the repair shop, plus the dog ate my homework, but better late than never, I reckon. So this one's going under the veryfewwords tag, as if the song title didn't give that away. [more inside]
Some Kind Of Superhero
For the MeFi Music Challenge. This one uses mouthbow, bodhran (but it sounds like a bass drum), a little bell, shakers, some little woodblock rattley things, a drone, and voice.
somewhere in the noise
just a random idea i had. droning synth with vocals.
New Orleans 2005
On this 2nd anniversary of hurricane Katrina, I thought I'd post this song, which I wrote and recorded in the days following the disaster. In 2005, when I first posted it to my own web site, I received some comments from folks who were pretty incensed by it. I'd never had such visceral negative reactions to a song. Should you be interested, you can read some of those comments and my replies here. I also just posted a live version (from a gig earlier this month) to YouTube. [lyrics inside]
Cold Front
Music for unseasonable weather.
Blanket
Many layers of distortion and sampling create a blanket of noise that I find beautiful and terrifying. Please to be playing this as loud as possible.
Tetris Drone
This is what happens when you play a guitar with a gameboy and an e-bow. Kind of noisy! Also, kind of awesome.
postictle
drone piece i wrote on guitar.
The band died on stage
Uhm. It could be used, like, in a movie, where the band dies on stage, or something else happens. More at my site.
Oh Death
Here's my version of this most haunting of American folk songs. It's very stripped-down: just voice, drone, a bass drum and a shekere. In the time-honored folk tradition, I've made a few minor lyrics changes here and there, and the melody I'm using is different from the Dock Boggs or Stanley Brothers versions of the tune. Anyway, it's one of my very favorite traditional songs. Hope you enjoy.
AND
Acid-ambient space dub loops. This is a live jam I did with a friend while visiting him in Seattle.
The rig was comprised of me playing small and very slow beat loops in Traktor at BPMs relationally fractional to a master tempo of 110 BPM, while my friend looped samples in Live, both from prerecorded and live samples from mixboard outputs and sends. There is a Macbook microphone involved in the sampling of the room and as a feedback and reverb source. There is no shared MIDI clock in use - all tempo/pitch control is manual, and listen for long beat-count tempo-drifts of loop components, which are manipulated and intentional.
The majority of this dub takes place as variations of two beats in one "measure", sometimes four but never more.
This cut of the track is the last ten minutes of approximately one hour of play and loop building. It is pre-release version intended for derivitive works, remixes and redubs. (If you wish to remix, sample, splice, loop, fuck, deconstruct or otherwise destroy this track, I would vastly prefer that you please contact me via the email in my profile for the uncompressed and unprocessed file and the full Creative Commons license. Please do not use this low-bitrate file.)
Apidae
The bees argue, in their black ball,
A flying hedgehog, all prickles.
The man with grey hands stands under the honeycomb
Of their dreams, the hived station
Where trains, faithful to their steel arcs,
Leave and arrive, and there is no end to the country.
Empty Spaces
Dark ambience with strange, swelling synths. Okay, I admit it, I can't even remember recording this track.
Drone - 2005.03.29
Here's one of my earlier experiments in drone music. It's electric guitar, played live through delay, fuzz and volume pedals.
Beat 2 (Live in SF, 2002) Audiosports
Everybody seems to think it's so important that you have to grab for money all the time. Seems to be the main goal in everybody's life.
