New server… good times :)

Had a miserable couple of day hosting wise… and I was hacked. Never mind. Here we are and here we go again! ;)

170 – Pno

I cannot play the Piano as such, but I do like to put Ableton into record, add a lot of effects to a piano sound and just see what comes out. I set the white keys to play a harmonic minor scale, but you can still hear the odd bum note. Some octave layering was used to thicken things and little quantisation was used to tidy up any truly stray timings, but this is essentially the output of a live stream of conciousness from v.late last night.

Erik Satie it isn’t, but I like it a little bit nonetheless.

169 – Okno

I’ve recently managed to get hold of a copy of The Conet Project-Recordings of Shortwave Numbers Stations and this little ditty is just something I came up with late before sleep last night. All of the sounds come from samples taken from the CD, manipulated in Simpler and effected within Live.

Over the coming weeks I will listen fully to these CD recordings to see if I can make a whole and proper release, using them as the backbone for the project.

168 – Gnosis

More experiments with number station broadcast recordings. This piece is a little darker in mood than is normal for me. However, it reflects how I feel today. Somehow, I feel I know all that is wrong, when all that is right isn’t close.

FTP problems

Sorry everyone. I can’t update the blog with my latest piece as there is a problem with my hosts FTP. I will try and get the new track up as soon as possible.
