High Tech

June 22nd, 2010 by Kelly G

Another rambling, aimless loop with the Tweak Bench peach synth, and some of the FL studio stuff. I didn’t have any concept in mind when I started. I just gotta do these every once in a while to see what happens.

Also I’m working on a special project that I’ll post here when it’s finished.

Tooth Decay… Yay!

April 20th, 2010 by erf

This isn’t really a proper Hellagem, but I figured I’d offer you a crumb from the Game Boy Advance game I’m working on. I threw this music together very quickly.

The game will involve this marshmallow man jumping around a young boy’s gums and attempting to kill all of the teeth in his mouth. When you kill them all with your marshmallow gun, you win. Tooth decay, yay!

For the full effect, let it loop over and over until you are driven mad.

Better Off Working

Better Off Working

Spent a little more time working on this than the last one, I’ll admit. They say that if you don’t have anything nice to say, you shouldn’t say anything at all. This song’s kinda like that.

This is actually something I’ve (sort of) done before, but have been tempted to do several times. I’ve always loved songs like Sonic Youth’s “In The Kingdom 19″  or the Minutemen’s “Take 5, D” – songs with spoken word over them, or songs with found lyrics that have a weird poetry to them.

So that’s why I have thought occasionally about making songs from tweets.

And that’s what this is: http://twitter.com/vomikronnoxis/status/12068252341

This isn’t really as much a found piece of poetry, because I think Rob intended it to be read that way. But that’s why I liked twitter anyway.

Hopefully I’ll have more stuff up soon.

Koala Song

March 21st, 2010 by ravelite

It’s been a while since things got overwhelming and I haven’t been able to record with any regularity. Still, I’ve found a few occasions. Hope everyone is doing well and please excuse the slightly delayed posts.

This was recorded in November, for my girlfriend’s birthday. Many thanks to my friend Vincent for guitar and whisper vocals.

you climb in the tree eating eucalyptus leaves
you shop for moda on the paseo de gracia

you are an architect
you build koala houses in the trees of Parc Guell

happy birthday to you

Fishy Squares

February 22nd, 2010 by Kelly G

This is down with Triforce again and also Peach. Peach is a little different than triforce because it has a tone bank rather than just the square and triangle, but it’s still trying to be NES sounding. This is a more straight-forward tonal thing with cheep arpeggiated chords. Oh well.

Lumpy Squares

February 7th, 2010 by Kelly G

I’m trying out the tweakbench Triforce plug-in. It does nintendo-y synth sounds with simple wav patterns. Here is a little experiment.
