Grendel
Sort of strived for emotional content with this one. If the first part is asking questions, the second is not liking the answers.
Generic synth arpeggios
I uploaded this to share with friends. It's really not much right now - just some straightforward arpeggios that anyone with a Korg and 5 minutes can do. The chord progressions are definitely usable, though they've both been done to death.
phasic
Patterns playing across each other. Introspection sliding into dreamy psychosis, never quite waking.
aregone
L5 crash and burn [more inside]
Meander
A slow drift through a procedural forrest.
Make it True
Influenced by Afro-pop. Voice, percussion, and a little guitar. [more inside]
Bicycle Factory in the Sky
Earnest synth music to soothe your soul. [more inside]
all rhodes lead to roam
an eclectic downtempo glitchy track of mine from 2006. some interesting live drumming incorporated then destroyed accordingly. comments welcome! [more inside]
Sleeper
Merrily we roll along [more inside]
Fathom2
Adrift in the ocean slowly sinking
Chaser
Another soundtrack for a weird dream. [more inside]
Dreaming on a Train
Riding at night with your eyes closed. [more inside]
over water
A slow glide through an industrial wasteland [more inside]
deflector
Upon finding yourself floating pleasantly in a canoe, you are launched into orbit. Alas.
The sky was filled with rainbows
A little synthetic ditty for FAWM'06.
Unquantize
Sunset, wind over water, autumn into winter. [more inside]
Cement floats.
Thanks for the Add (demo)
A dancey pop kinda thing. I finished all the recording and rough mixes for my next album so I'm starting to enjoy making music again. Also: trying to be less of a perfectionist so I maybe don't go bonkers.
Unstress
Stressed out? Listen to this healing song and follow it's prescription to the letter! [more inside]
Synchro2
ambient alien drone music [more inside]
Happy As Fuck
This is an old song and a personal song. Its basic premise fits quite nicely with my life, thus making it relatively personal. Marginally complex vocals around an easy-to-follow framework, written while afraid of the leaving of an ex of four years past. [more inside]
Zedox
Since everybody's submitting instrumentals lately, I guess I'll post another one. Synth groove. [more inside]
Undercurrent
I found an entry-level Yamaha synth in my friend's basement. The dials were stuck on 80's. [more inside]
Freedom Tape
A simple, melancholy electro instrumental that I recorded a couple of years ago. Percussion ideas came from various hip-hop sources; the melody is my own. I use it as background music during a spoken-word segment of my live shows. [more inside]
Crossing Over
A short poem spoken with keyboard, percussion, and guitar
Darkness falls in the middle of the day,
We look to the sky and lord we pray,
Darkness grows near,
And all those who are dear,
Floods the lands with tears,
Not a moment to soon,
For all men are destin for doom,
Come cross over, All are welcome
ripples
Only tangentially related to the theme of the challenge, but my testing audience thought the song sounded like ripples, and that seemed like enough (plus it motivated me to finish sooner than I might have!).
Sister
First song ever written, and completed. Written/recorded in 2 hours flat. Fishing for feedback.
I Like Hat
Acapella sample, killer synth, creepy fembot vocals. A song about hats.
23rd Century
Here's a track from my album about wanting to be a robot. I figure lots of you folks can probably relate.
My band is currently touring the east coast, with dates in VA, NC, WV, MD, PA, NJ, NY, CT, and VT. Details inside!
American Dreams
Mix Master Mike frequently samples the intro to Killing In The Name for his sets. I decided to sample the outro, where Zach de la Rocha is yelling "ALL OF WHICH ARE AMERICAN DREAMS". The bass line is spliced out of Evil by Interpol since Carlos Dengler has got some crazy tone. This is a pretty slow jam, so it borders on the line between hip-hop and dance. Enjoy.
Ten Thousand Waves
An electronic track I did in my room at Ten Thousand Waves, outside Santa Fe, New Mexico. Influences include Boards of Canada, Nathan Fake, and a little Aphex Twin. There's a longer description here.
Sythoholics Anonymous
A night long bender on sythohol. Starts out peaceful enough, but once the party gets started control is hard to maintain. An Episode production
The Choir Song (two thousand seven mix)
Here's a track I made a while ago that I recently took a new stab at. It sounds retrodancey because well, that's all I could sound like back in the day.
Seams (vocoder bringdown edition)
A recording from 2004 of a song from 1998. I really like vocoders: I think that they are very awesome. More inside!
Lufthansa
Going back to my roots: Here's a techno-diddley straight outta Air Deutschland.
Nashville
Technically not a song performed by me, but a song done by 2 of my good friends which was tracked (mostly) and mixed by me. I'm posting this because I've got a 1:30 remix of the song I did, and I want to post that. I figured it'd be nice to have context.
Bring Me The Head Of Elmo
Lyrics [with handy reference links!] and more information inside.
Oscillendulum 1
This is one of a series of short pieces (about 10 or 12) I recorded using only a JUNO 60 analog synth (found at a Tokyo junk shop for only 10,000 yen!). The Oscillendulums all share a similar structure (gradual addition and/or subtraction of layered repeating parts), with an eye toward the creation of a sort of liquid polyrhythm. I also had in mind the musical approximation of animal sounds such as frog and insect choruses from a pond, which are part of the inspiration for this series.
Blues Wrapped Round My Head
In a slow count of 5, here's some kind of convergence of Burma and the blues, or thereabouts. "scissors cut paper / paper blows away / stone smashes scissors / and so it goes / another day / but it's all downhill from here / at least that's what sisyphus said /ah you're fucked six ways from sunday / with the blues wrapped round your head"
Ending
I'm thinking this will be the outro to my first album, or possibly come right before the final song.
Long Night and Nothing to Do
I wrote this song in one night for a school assignment that was due the next day. The music was really just flowing out of me. I don't even remember writing most of this because I was so tired. It was created to be a score for a 9-minute short film that I made, but it's grown on me so much that I've decided to include it on my first album.
It does need some work, though: the mixing is way off in some areas (and even distorted) and it's way too long to include on an album.
Take Me There
If I was to describe this song with sarcastic overtones, I would say this is a regular run-of-the-mill ageispolis techno song. Well, it's not. This song is anything but typical of what I usually produce. Vocals, emotion, melody, structure... christ, what's gotten into me!?
Glow
I made this song last summer (2006). It has the usual synth and drum machine, as well as the addition of a little guitar. Very fast-paced, yet relaxed. Oh, and, of course, it'll someday (maybe) have lyrics.
Aware
Very atmospheric.
This song will always remind me Christmas, as I wrote most of it during the month of December. Just like my previous track, this will also have vocals someday.
Undefined
Out of several tunes in various states of completion for the RPM project, this is the most presentable. In use for this track are: voice, talking drum, bells (metal and wooden), guiro, synth bass and organ. Every so often I write a song which is overtly political (a protest song, for want of a better term), and this is one of them.
Unknown
One of the better songs I have lined up for my first album (which is still in its early stages). Heavy drums, synth, happiness. Also, this is my first post to MeFi Music.
Montage
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.
The Reddish Egret
Egret's (of the Reddish variety) are musically inspiring. This track is divided by two tempo changes (see if you can spot them!) and is thus in three parts. I figure a bird as cool as the Reddish Egret deserves a musical trilogy. Also, the high-pitched vocal sample is actually a rendering of the last note Thom Yorke sings on the opening track of The Eraser.
Before It Dies
Here is a "Mahayana Jazz" track with some tasty drums. I hope you find this delicious and remember to get away from that tree before it dies.
Until You Kiss Me
"i blew across the great plains like a plastic bag / from the broken heart of town to the dock of the bay / there ain't that much to say about the wide wide world / people everywhere just sleepwalk in their own little way / and ain't no hope of waking up / until you kiss me babe"
