Here’s a funky one that’s still brewing. I used the Alesis QS6 for all the sounds on the track and then Matthew Hundley laid down some funky guitar chops over it. This track and Fast Pace are going to be included on the new album I hope to put together by the end of the summer.

A Rube Goldberg machine is a deliberately over engineered machine that performs a very simple task in a very complex fashion, usually including a chain reaction.

Adding to the electronic styles for this month, this one was inspired by the fast pace work environment I’ve  been experiencing lately.  I used my Alesis Q6.1 for all the sounds and mixed it down with the Fostex recorder.  This will be the first of many more mixes to come since recording is coming a little easier these days.  Enjoy.

Continuing our exploration of electronic music this week, check out 95to695. This is my musical equivalent to my often crazy drive home from work, including the junction from I-95 to I-695 during evening rush hour.

Matt Cain lent me a little midi controller device he has called a “Trigger Finger” the other day by M-Audio. Last week I was able to set up the device to work on my Macbook Pro through Garageband to trigger various sounds and effects, much like a percussive keyboard would and put together this song, Strip, with my first experiences with the device. Likely you’ll hear more from the Trigger Finger in the coming weeks as I play around with the device more and learn more about how to do things with it.

Several weeks ago, my friend asked if we could work on a song for an ad campaign he was working on. The campaign was for the rebranding of a special education school and they were looking for a catchy children’s song for the campaign. We were provided with the lyrics and an example of what they came up with already for the campaign so we went to work the following weekend putting together the song in our own way.
My New Story is the result of the weekend.

Neil came up with the bass line to start us off and we did a series of layers to record the piece in a similar manner to studio style recording. Amber Scott did some guest vocals with us on the song as well.

Here’s one I did a while back, probably in ‘06 or ‘07 with my Alesis and the new expansion back I bought for it. It was a hip-hop expansion pack that had some cool beats, plus I could play bass and the synth live, all at the same time.

The last couple of weeks, I’ve been playing around with my iPhone and with some of the applications available through the Apple store. There are quite a few music instrument applications available and, although most of them are quite terrible, some are actually pretty versatile so I wanted to put together some songs using them. Cattail Walk was initially composed using an iPhone app called Euphonics with layering provided by Jeremy using full sized keyboard synths and some effects provided through Garageband.

During our last patio session, Neil disappeared for a couple of minutes while Jeremy and I were playing around with some sounds. He returned with an assortment of various oddities from his nearby shed. He then set these items out in a drum kit-like pattern around him and proceeded to play the collection of flowerpots, lawn chairs and tables. I picked up a large plastic flowerpot and began to play it as I would with a Djembe, integrating snaps and claps throughout. Jeremy carried us through this random assortment of percussion with a melody from the keys.
In post-production, I decided we needed to do something a little different with this one. Rather than just have a relatively clean track, I decided to layer various effects on there to make it sound strangely organic. Jeremy’s keys sound a bit like a guitar with a wah pedal. The percussion mutates in crazy ways throughout the track. It’s really fun to listen to.
