(5.1.19) Part 2

Nov 8th, 2019 14m 41s

Part two of the near two-hour soundscape I came across recently while archiving old projects. Spooky and rumbly, with some unexpected soloing.

(5.1.19) Part 1

Oct 10th, 2019 17m 26s

Was sorting thru and archiving old Logic projects from the past year, and found a near two hour long soundscape that I have no real recollection of recording.It neatly split into four sections, so here's part one.

(4.24.19) Quiet Drone, full version

Apr 26th, 2019 24m 35s

24 minutes of a lovely drone with lots of random twiddling of knobs between wide oases of nothing much going on. Unexpect the expected.Short video here.

(3.22.19) The Remainder was the Exact Same Size

Mar 28th, 2019 18m 57s

No musical or conceptual thru line here. Just dismantled my old effects pedal board and reworked everything on a new board, and here's around 20 minutes of me ringing out the system with ambient glory.

(2.22.19) The Bigger Question is When it Becomes Rain

Feb 25th, 2019 13m 25s

The idea here was to practice serenity, let things breath. So of course I started by playing everything all at once. I edited out some busyness at the start but it still starts kinda busy. Serenity wanders in around the halfway point. This was

Feb 7th, 2019 10m 32s

Back after some idle time. Coming back slowly. Very slowly. Slow, relaxing, meditative drones. Long reverb tails and long delay trails. Letting things ring out and being deliberate about the next note or phrase.Pardon the clicks and clacks. Ba

Jan 14th, 2019 24m 3s

After some time away for the holidays and work travel, I'm starting the new year a little slowly, creatively. Thought it was a good time to break this one out. This was the test run for this whole ambient podcast concept. Pure Frippertronics. N

Nov 14th, 2018 12m 47s

A few months ago I debuted my baritone strat. This weekend I came across this meditation from the same day. I can understand why I set it aside (and forgot about it) at the time - I was trying for something with a consistent tone throughout, a

Nov 7th, 2018 12m 45s

Rushed thru this before going out on Monday night. Thought I'd left a jangly mess behind, but listening with fresh ears yesterday it turned out to be a hypnotically jangly mess, which is a totally different thing. Some magic in there, amid the

Oct 29th, 2018 9m 47s

Came across this over the weekend. This was my first test run of the Strymon Big Sky reverb, the day I brought it home. I think I had written it off because of some static around 7:10, but with fresh ears, that static gets looped and is part of

Oct 17th, 2018 21m 16s

After several weeks of relaxing, meditative sounds, here's a more frenetic guitar synth experiment from the archives. Recorded last December and forgotten about until last week. Droney and searching at the top, it coalesces into something prett

Returned from Ireland this weekend. Picked up an EHX pog2. Recorded this while jetlagged and fighting a head cold.It's very mellow and relaxing, as I was very sleepy at the time.Signal flow:Fernandes Burny > The Bends > EHX pog2 > Ditto X4 >
