    More Music

    At some point, I guess a couple of months ago, this blog probably stopped being a things-I-like-blog and became a music blog. Maybe because I can create sounds at home, upload them to SoundCloud and then go back to whatever I was doing. Working on music has been more an exercise in problem solving and…

    New Music

    A few weeks ago, I sat through a Slamboree and listened to a miniset of Reuben Ingall and he happened to be selling USBs of his work. I picked up one and it didn’t work. While I waited for a new one to come through the post, another buddy lent me the one he bought.…

    New Music – Void

    At one point, I noticed that it was about nine months that I uploaded anything to my soundcloud account. The above is the last of three new uploads, using new kit that I purchased this year. All of these tracks are made in situ, recording as I make the track. The main reason I do…

    New Gear

    After purchasing the Pocket Piano back in January, I’ve been getting more sound-related gear, including an amp, mixer, a delay pedal. The last piece of kit is a Critter & Guitari Kaleidoloop which I saw a number of years ago, but never picked up until now. So now I guess I have to put something…

    In The Post

    Some holiday purchases I made over the break had finally come in through the post. First is the Pocket Piano by Critter & Guitari. It’s a fun little noisemaker with a few features, making it a neat starting synth. Though at some point, I know I’m going to be dropping money on a Korg analog…

    Best and Worst 2014

    So, I think I need to recap a couple of things that happened through the year, mostly because I didn’t find the time to write about them in the moment. Best Film Frank Frank is about a band, whose front man constantly wears a papier-mâché mask. Given this cartoonish appearance, Frank is also a muse…

    BM Session 3 – Error

    New Buddha Machine Session. There were a few quirks as I attempted to experiment a bit more. There are a few problems in this one which I believe were from the speakers. What was used: Buddha Machine I, II, IV EHX Memory Man w/ Hazarai Vestax Mixer (with some dirty knobs…) Note: The image with…

    Buddha Machine Session 2

    So it’s been a long time since I last did this. I picked up new recording kit. So probably expect more soon. Also since I’m not going to be paying SoundCloud for a pro account, if you want to download the first session, because once another session is recorded, its going to get bounced from…

    Spartak – Selected Recordings from 2010 – 2013 It’s been a while since I heard Spartak play in the Pot Belly, listening to their laptop-fed, guitar drone against abstract drums. I heard they were going to play at YAH, and I was fortunate enough to stumble upon their show and pick up a copy of…
