Day 493: outlast

less than a week to go!

Patches by FGL (except the bass and some effects).

Day 481: Skip to my Droop

A quick experiment using FGL's loops and SugarBytes Loop Slicer.

Day 454: Had to take it easy

Am still sick and I just don't have the energy to focus on something as hard as I did with yesterday's project.  I did something fun, less musical, but still exciting for me.  I hope you like it also.  If not, tomorrow is a new day.

Day 423: In the blood

Maybe something original.  We  don't know what our story is.

Lyrics:
You've got drive, but you spend it all the time.  
Why don't you just give up?
You've got love in your heart, 
but there's a chance you're just full of shit.
Wipe the blood off your mouth.
Clean your teeth. 
We're going out now.
And you're not who you think you are.

Day 422: sdkfjghsldkjfghsdrrdd

Celluloid Beats, Chronologists, FGL's patches, noise.  Fuck it.

Day 412: C-Celebrate G-good times

FGL uploaded his refill to Audiobombs.com so I'm celebrating with a piece using several of his sounds
and loops.

Day 405: Continued Exploration

Used Forester on this piece, then imported that wave and chopped it up, added instruments, played with panning.  Instead of just recycling the pieces of previous tracks it was a lot more fun to add new instruments to the chopped pieces.

Some sounds by FGL.

My son helped in places by banging on the keyboard.

Day 371: Christmas Knock-Off

A strange one that combines Indian female vocals with German quasi-industrial beats.

Day 318: Short Ambience

For a long time I liked to record really long songs.  The average song would be about six minutes.  Now, compared to some artists, six minutes isn't incredibly long, but as time has gone on I've come to value brevity more and more.  Now I'm on the other side of that.  I like a nice pop song length.  3 minutes, give or take 20 seconds.

Here's a brief ambient tune.  To me, long enough to be interesting without getting annoying.  I suggest listening with headphones.

Cheers.

Day 283:Ranrdomean

Random patches by FGL.

Day 282: Short

Didn't see Sigur Ros.  I'm not happy.  Not happy at all.

Day 245: More Music for the Days

A kind of mixed bag piece today.  There's some experimentation with Bitspeek, some with the Konstruct Refill, some with delay.  Overall it came together all right, I suppose.

Lyrics:
You may not come back from this, this time.

No one asked you to speak.  
Why don't you take the time?
Think for yourself, don't bother me.
I don't have the time.

You acted like a fool, 
you thought you were so cool,
Now you have to deal with all the consequences of your actions.

No one asked you to speak.  
Why don't you take the time?
Think for yourself, don't bother me.
I don't have the time.

Day 234: Getting Up There

An ambient work that's just begging to be in a film.  Now to find the film....

Day 225: Electromusics

Just over here fakin' the funk.

Day 209: Don't be afraid

Sounds by Frank Lucas and Simon Janvier.  Dark synths awash in reverb.

Lyrics:
You said "This party's about to start," 
As you loaded your gun "who wants to take part?"
"Put your hands up in the air if you do."
"Why don't you come along?" 
From me to you.

You said you haven't done this before,
I said "Here, let me show you the door."
"Why don't you come along?"
From me to you.
You said "Which way is out?"
I said "You don't have to shout."
"Come on," 
From me to you.

This is not a gift at all, 
This is a way to fall.

Day 198: Instrumentalentation

I'm very excited to be approaching the end of 200 days, but now I know that I can't really quit yet.  There will be a day when it's not going to happen.  It may be for family reasons, illness, aliens landing, or a computer crash, but while I'm able to keep it going I have decided I must continue pursuing this project.

Today's piece comes courtesy of patches by FGL.

Day 175: Exploring Germany

In continued experimentation of patches made by Frank Georg Lucas I give you today's work.

Lyrics:
We left the house about an hour ago, tell me when we will get there.
i'm not your plaything, 
i'm not your toy, 
i have free will, 
Let me, never. 

Where do we go? 
Where do you go?  

I'm not your pet, 
I'm not your slave.

Where do we go from here?
