Dark sounds for an old barn.

Fred Jones, Pt. 2 by askmeaboutLOOM

It's amazing what you can throw together in about 4 hours with nothing but a Rock Band mic, 8 of yourself, and a pair of Stylophones.

Inspired by a friend's photos of the ocean.

Rescuer (cleaner mix) by NemesisVex

NemesisVex — Wed, 08 Apr 2009 11:44:35 -0800

Finally -- a MeFiMusic Challenge I can do! Or rather have done. I actually posted this song before, but I've since gone back and cleaned up the EQ and gated some of the noise from the vocal. The two chords used are D and E.

Pure by Grangousier

Grangousier — Fri, 06 Mar 2009 12:47:50 -0800

A fairly grim song, I suppose, mostly one chord, almost too long to upload here. With strings. And a guitar solo.

Song 2 by xorry

Written for a cello friend. Apologies for the low volume level and the minute of silence at the end.

Take the Picture by hillelc

hillelc — Mon, 10 Nov 2008 22:43:43 -0800

I tend to take a lot of pictures. I found out early on in my photo-taking tenure that the more pictures I took, the more likely that some of them would come out nicely. Of course, I’m always the one behind the camera. As a parent, I also have wondered just how much of the time I spend with my kids they will remember (if any). My father recently asked me if I remembered how we used to watch Star Trek together. I honestly couldn’t remember. He was crushed. It occurred to me that many years down the road when my kids look at our family pictures they won’t see me in any of them because I was the one behind the camera. Something tells me that this detail will be lost on them as they repeat the cycle and tell me they don’t remember me being there. ;)

Rescuer by NemesisVex

NemesisVex — Sun, 02 Nov 2008 18:17:34 -0800

Strings, drums, two chords and lyrics vaguely inspired by the '80s TV show "The Equalizer". Also, big rip-off of Craig Armstrong.

Axe and Why by tehloki

tehloki — Wed, 24 Sep 2008 20:50:09 -0800

An experiment in using soft damped x-y controllers to adjust the timbre of instruments.

Overload by blinks

blinks — Thu, 31 Jul 2008 18:02:00 -0800

An abstract electronic piece; some of the piano riffs later through the song sound like they're being pushed too fast, which led me to the title.

Radiohead - "Nude (Strings Remix)" by analogtones

analogtones — Sun, 13 Apr 2008 08:36:20 -0800

The result here is spending a few free days on my couch with my violin and computer. I would love all comments/criticism from anybody, as this is something I'd like to continue experimenting with. (I guess if you like it, you can vote by clicking on the plus sign and pass the link onto anybody else). http://www.radioheadremix.com/remix/?id=1196 Thanks!

Untold Demons by NemesisVex

NemesisVex — Mon, 03 Mar 2008 19:44:57 -0800

I unearthed the very first song I wrote in 1986 and flinched at all the clueless chord progressions my 14-year-old self used. But I could sense some potential behind a few of the ideas. So I reworked it extensively and brought out more of the subliminal inspiration that went into: mid-'80s Heart.

gone by edlundart

edlundart — Wed, 19 Dec 2007 00:33:20 -0800

I think this is one of the catchier songs I've come up with in a while, though I never seem to be a good judge of that. At any rate, it's a short and simple track about intense love gone missing... or something like that.

find a place to hide, wait out the rain.

Tasha by snsranch

snsranch — Thu, 12 Apr 2007 19:25:41 -0800

Tasha's full name was Natasha Von Baddenof. A rottwieler that I raised from puppyhood til death. I was going to sing on this but it's better without it. Enjoy.

Montage by barmaljova

barmaljova — Tue, 06 Feb 2007 11:07:44 -0800

an overwhelmingly ambient texture, pierced with many elements of various density - scraped percussion, Latin and bluegrass gestures, strings, somber guitar notes and swirling electronics. Very soundtrack, very visual, particuarly for fans of Gustavo Santaolalla.

iLust Your iPod by ageispolis

ageispolis — Sun, 14 Jan 2007 01:35:27 -0800

I stare at you across the lecture hall in Psychology class. Your long, white cord and your smooth rectangular body. If I had to narrow this track down to a particular genre I would have to go with "electro orchestral folk-hop." This beat is a impassioned symphony expressing the desire for iNtimacy in today's society.

The Rookie by TwoWordReview

The title comes from the Clint Eastwood movie but God only knows what that has to do with the track....

Bagel on the Malecon by barmaljova

barmaljova — Sun, 09 Jul 2006 00:03:33 -0800

A very New York-bred outlook at old-time Cuban music, recorded entirely with .. violas! This was my attempt to create asymmetrical but memorable melodies, clear textures crammed with material, and experiment with multitrack viola as a concept, an ensemble. The sound of the classic Cuban bands had all that - except the violas, that is. This track appears on my newly released CD, the VJOLA: WORLD ON FOUR STRINGS

Convergence 01 by Lotto

Lotto — Fri, 30 Jun 2006 18:17:28 -0800

Composed, recorded, produced and mastered by me and a group of peers at a Junior conservatoire a few years ago. A few pointers - the vocalist was instructed to "Speak to God" (but not in a religious way), and the title comes from the feeling that the whole track is moving towards something. Violin = Lotto! (Yep I play two instruments)
