Concept:
I added vocals to the Space Ballad song that I had made a couple posts ago. I was actually worried I wouldn’t be able to come up with any lyrics because I was having major writer’s block, but somehow I pieced it together. When I started I wanted to sing a shangri-las style song and [...]

So thanks to Paulie for lending me his bass. It is astonishing the degree to which my setup relies almost completely upon his and Rob’s generosity.
And I haven’t even used the condenser mic yet.
Anyway.

This song started with the line “Hold to the line” and progressed from there. And then I spent a week screwing around [...]

Da Mystery Of Cheeseboxin’
This is just a quick sketch that I did over a couple of days. I was experimenting with the slice to MIDI function of Ableton 8. It takes a selection of audio, cuts it up based on some parameters you select, and then puts those slices into a MIDI instrument of your [...]

This is my fucking fucking danger idea. I am going for a sort of sexy dismay. lots of arpeggiators.  efing-d

For this song I busted out my old groove box, and after playing with it for a while I was able to get some really cool sounds out of it. The drums are the only digital instrument in the song, everything else is either the groove box or the micro korg + some effects. [...]

Ok, sorry for the late post!
This is the first successful test of ChucK -> MIDI -> my new keyboard, a Roland VA-3 that I bought from a coworker.
Everything seems to work rather smoothly. This proves that the problem in the earlier setup was not caused by ChucK or the MIDI system of my computer, but [...]

I have a few things coming together all at once, unfortunately none of them are in a really finished state, so I cobbled this together from something I threw together in Live 8 a few days ago. I was consciously trying to come up with an interesting bass sound* and a ridiculous sounding [...]

I generally like Kanye West’s music. I think he has done some really great songs. His production is often both catchy and interesting, and his raps can be very clever and enjoyable. That said, when I listened to his most recent album, “808s and Heartbreak,” I was highly disappointed. I had been wanting for a [...]
