139 – Grass

Whilst refurbishing a PC for my little boy, I decided to install my old Ableton Live 6 onto it so that he can play around with some sounds. To check that it was all working properly, I decided to play around with a ten second sample from Talk Talk’s track New Grass. All I did was create four instances of Simpler and manipulated the playback of each of them using a few of Ableton’s built in effects and a some free VST filters.

It’s melancholic and repetitive, which is just how I like it.

138 – Rain Parade

Just a simple little piece I made in the early hours of this morning. Harry Patch’s funeral has just taken place up the road in Wells Cathedral and I wanted to make a little track dedicated to him. War is a waste. His words of warning should be heeded.

Thank you Harry. x

Theta (Pure Tone Remaster)

Once more, something a little special, @pure_tone has taken my latest ambient work, Theta and his talented ears has made my little piece sparkle.

Consider following him on Twitter (@pure_tone) if you care about purist audio. I say, follow him anyhow, even if you just love music in general.

137 – Theta

This piece is made up of a couple of Reaktor 3 ensembles that have been rendered out as a stereo sample and then had effects added a layer at a time, eight times in all. This was one way of keeping the Samsung from spitting chips! ;)

This track is designed to help you with your lucid dreaming.

136 – Panglossian

Trying to creative something sonically rich is the most difficult thing to do with the netbook. This track was made with four tracks layered up and each one frozen once it was time to do the work on the next track. This is quite a good track to chill to, it has a hypnotic nature to it. However, it may have been a little panglossian of me to think I could make finished pieces with the N110.

Time to install apps to my desktop I think and use the netbook as a stepping stone to better things.

135 – Droplets

Whilst recovering the data from my broken laptop I found this unreleased track. It’s a rather simple little piece that is meant to reflect our damp summer days in the South West UK.
