This season found me in the midst of a little personal crisis and I was sitting idly around the house for long hours. Like me at the time, this doesn't travel too far from where it starts.

Dewa by Hoopo

Hoopo — Sat, 12 Jul 2008 09:53:01 -0800

Another short Garage Band track that includes the sound of me repeatedly popping the base of an old stock pot in and out.

(Everybody Likes) Internal Mics by davejay

davejay — Wed, 09 Jul 2008 23:06:37 -0800

Today cortex and Hoopo wrote, recorded and posted quick songs done with their Mac's internal microphone and GarageBand, a couple of hours apart. I've decided to make it a trifecta.

Ima by Hoopo

Hoopo — Wed, 09 Jul 2008 20:38:00 -0800

A short, sloppy no-editing-or-do-overs track made in less than half an hour with Garage Band, 2 glasses of stale water on my coffee table, a dirty spoon, a jar of change, internal mic, and likely one drink too many.

Undercover by tmcw

Recorded this song last night. It's a new direction, sort of. Unplugged electric bass, acoustic guitar, vocals. 7/4 but unusual rhythm work. I like it, hope you do.

It's also about Firefox 3 and Download Day 2008.

Another acoustic, instrumental tune. This is the first track I've made in GarageBand (my Ubuntu machine died hard last week).

I Will Make You Understand by eafarris

eafarris — Sat, 23 Feb 2008 10:35:27 -0800

Just a little Garageband thing. I've had that spoken loop forever, anyone know where it comes from?

Hopin' for the... by MNDZ

MNDZ — Sat, 02 Feb 2008 09:26:55 -0800

A beat I made in Garageband featuring trombone. All the music parts are loops of me, on keyboard, trombone, and bass. The scratching is Mic Santi, my roommate.

Some Other Boy/Girl by allaboutgeorge

allaboutgeorge — Tue, 22 Jan 2008 19:38:31 -0800

Wherein I discover you can lyrically abstract and obscurely rearrange an interpersonal situation, but you can't make it blink.

As kids by ORthey

ORthey — Wed, 09 Jan 2008 20:09:17 -0800

A short instrumental, played over an old tape of me reading something in French as a kid.

Pocket Venus by allaboutgeorge

allaboutgeorge — Mon, 07 Jan 2008 00:39:32 -0800

A not-so-tall song about a short, sweet object of desire. Wait, can I try that again?

King Kong Song by Corduroy

Corduroy — Mon, 24 Dec 2007 14:29:16 -0800

This is the second song I wrote when I started learning the guitar in February. This was when I could not sing as I played guitar unless I sang one syllable per strum. Starts slow, but the second half is kind of fun so don't give up right away.

Off Kilter, MetaFilter by jessamyn

jessamyn — Sat, 24 Nov 2007 21:43:00 -0800

Just another reworking of divabat's totally awesome recording.

I Overshot You (Demo) by allaboutgeorge

allaboutgeorge — Sun, 04 Nov 2007 19:47:11 -0800

This one is probably about reiterated obviousnesses and vain hopes regarding poorly plotted relationship trajectories, but what do I know, I just wrote and sung it. Oh, and the guitar tuning was EADGBD, capoed to the fourth fret.

Second Ring by allaboutgeorge

allaboutgeorge — Mon, 09 Jul 2007 14:30:24 -0800

Wherein I discover writing a song about kissing off an ex is easier and more satisfying than kissing off an ex.

Can't It Be True by lazaruslong

lazaruslong — Sun, 08 Jul 2007 15:44:18 -0800

I arranged this simple version of a song from a Linda Ronstadt compilation for a play at the request of the director. 3 acoustic guitars an synth drums, all done in Garageband.

Fumble by St Urbain's Horseman

St Urbain's Horseman — Thu, 28 Jun 2007 19:40:31 -0800

Part 2 of my extended musical apology to mathowie. I have to earn my return.

Sinaloan Milk Snake Song by escabeche

escabeche — Thu, 28 Jun 2007 18:08:13 -0800

A lo-fi cover of a lo-fi song by the Mountain Goats, from Zopilote Machine. Made in GarageBand, vocals recorded with built-in mike. I'm brand-new at this, so I welcome technical advice about how the mixing, recording, use of loops, etc. can be improved.

Puter Puter by escabeche

escabeche — Mon, 18 Jun 2007 06:00:46 -0800

OK, this is not the greatest composition of all time but I do want to share my (surely unoriginal) observation that if you have a baby and a Mac it's really fun to cut up clips of the baby talking and put it over a loop. Grandparents like this. All suggestions for how to do this kind of thing better are most welcome -- I've only been using GarageBand for about a week.

MetroMental by terrapin

terrapin — Mon, 04 Sep 2006 08:34:58 -0800

Another song from my concept CD that has been long in the making. This one was inspired by riding Washington, DC's Metro system to and from work every day.

Down with the Tempo by RockBandit

RockBandit — Tue, 15 Aug 2006 03:15:11 -0800

Alright. I used to think using GarageBand (and its loops) to make songs was "cheating". Then I started to use it. It's amazing how fun and easy it is, and you can really create some great sounding music. Here is my first downtempo song, entitled "Down with the Tempo". Enjoy!

The crazy stories by ORthey

ORthey — Sat, 08 Jul 2006 11:35:58 -0800

Basically two songs merged together that had the same open C tuning. It involves banging on the desk and clinking a glass.

Outta My Way by terrapin

terrapin — Fri, 07 Jul 2006 11:37:47 -0800

One of my first attempts with GarageBand. "Outta My Way" is the title song of what I envisioned would be an "album" chronicling my decision to move from Washington, DC to rural Vermont. This particular song was intended to be about my work day.
