Day 435: Source it Out

Playing with rock and electronics and strings and more.

Day 434: elec

Tribal styled percussion mixed with electronic mixed with modern instruments.

I thought it came out pretty neat.

Day 433: Getting Better

This lyrics should be self explanatory (though not wholly true).

Lyrics:
close your eyes, 
close your mouth, 
listen to me.  

close your ears, 
open your hands, 
listen to me.

I got my voice back today.

hold your breath, 
there are moments left, 
listen to me.  

hold your words, 
hold what's said, 
listen to me.

I got my voice back today.

Pay attention, 
to what's said, 
listen to me.  

This could impact you, 
Everything you do, 
listen to me.

I got my voice back today.

Day 432: Don't Dance

Still sick, but getting better.  Finally going back to work today.  Was playing with Malstrom a bit on this one, along with some other sounds I haven't used in awhile.  Felt like it came off all right.  I probably could've added a good 30 second intro and easily had something that was pop song length.  Oh well, this is what we got.

Day 431: Great Sounds

I have several very high quality instruments now.  Sampled at unbelievably high levels, they sound better than the real thing in many cases.  I frequently find myself leaving in mistakes to make sure they sound more "human".  Funny how far we've come.

Today's track features Harmonium from the Abbey Roads Refill, drums from the RDK 2.0 Refill, Bass from the Electric Bass Refill (all by Propellerheads so far), acoustic guitar from the iStrum Refill (which is just awesome), and Dombra from Impact Soundworks.

Day 430: A Little Bit of Noise Goes a Long Way

I promise, when I started this I really meant to make something very minimal.  In my head I was thinking of a Pan Sonic vibe with very little going on, the synth being the center of attention.  Somehow, somewhere it went off the rails and I ended up filling up the entire spectrum with sound.

Don't get me wrong, I like it, it's just hard to focus sometimes.  I guess it's worth mentioning that I did this at about 2 a.m.  I woke up as my meds wore off (I have the flu) and I started coughing uncontrollably.  I went and took my meds, then sat down and started creating this, waiting for them to take effect.  45 minutes later this was almost done.  Finished it this morning.

Day 429: In the Jungle again... the wood jungle... I mean, the real jungle... aww hell

Still exploring those oh so awesome Refills from New Atlantis Audio.

This track started as a goof around, but turned into something that I quite like.
