This has some pretty interesting organic composition in it – I actually thought about beat timing and so on a smidge. It’s yet another short (< 2min) demo, which seems to be about all I can crank out these days. Do -not- listen to this on tinny laptop speakers, as you will lose almost everything good about it.
[down through my hands]
This is a very short one, more of a demo than a true song.
I have discovered how to do gates in Reason. And I went kind of nuts with it. You can use the drum machine as a 10-gate patch panel. I don’t know if the program’s designers are insane, or just the people who figure out weird ass workarounds. Either way, it’s pretty sweet. What I have been trying to accomplish in vain with vocoders shall now come to fruition.
This one’s short, but I like it, though it kept me up til 7am. Man, I miss the high-tempo stuff. And now I can do sweet basslines. Walter Flakus beware.
Wow. I should really go to sleep.
[unintentionally morbid mixed metaphor]
The title’s a mixture of a pun and a Wyclef Jean reference. This song is just a technical demo that grew into a song. I know I say that all the time, but in this one it’s really noticible because beyond the 2 semi-neat effects, it’s really, really boring. This isn’t one of my better bits, but its got some complicated-ass vocoder effects, and the neat-o screechy/searing sound on the “cello” towards the end. This is a basic test – testing the sturdyness of a club by whacking it on something. Nothing more. There’s where the pun comes in.
I’m trying to complete the tons of half-completed bits I have lying around my hard drive on trb, and so you can expect a rash of not so great but at least released tracks in the semi-near future. This song has been around since like November, and I’ve finally given up on livening it up and have just put the thing out so I can move on.
[15 separate automated mixer controls you can’t hear]
I started this about 11:30 tonight, and finished about 1.I made this for my best friend, who’s kind of mad at me right now.
i don’t like it when she’s mad at me, and making this made me feel better. hopefully it will do the same for her.
i’ll update the trb page soon, with this and 4 notes of hope.
[seven megabyte daisy]
the first part in a 2-part old-caustic-synth series inspired by and related to Tron. This is still in need of some mixing, and pending some legal investigation, maybe a couple of dialog samples.
Note: this download was updated 10/22/08, for the release of Twilight. The following text refers to the original.
Wow. Did all this super exertion, sat down to talk, and managed to end up with a pretty damn good new TRB track.
It needs some production polish and so on, but it’s a winner.
I’m putting it up pre all that production polish because I’m gonna be gone a couple days.
At least there is creative output happening. That’s encouraging.-out
This one is brand new, as of tonight, and possibly the best trb ever.
In the words of Scott, Reason agrees with me.
That is all.
