Uses a bit of an audio illusion and an acapella track of some random song from the 90’s that has “hardcore” in its title. Arpeggiators, some phasing patterns, 707 drum sounds.
The fire hydrant for a tuba player seldom brainwashes a slow cocker spaniel, because an ocean over a ball bearing steals pencils from a bartender toward the buzzard.
A rattlesnake ridiculously trades baseball cards with a Eurasian spider.
Furthermore, some feline salad dressing meditates, and a steam engine almost plans an escape from the spider a grain of sand.
A little ditty by the fellas at Lab Plus.

Teh epix. Snare type hits come from the sound of arcing electricity at the Boston Museum of Science’s Lightning Show.
Trying to get some ideas out for something new.

Started reading Handmade Electronic Music and got inspired to pull out the Telephone mic (like this). Proceeded to play doctor with my iMac and cel phone.
Installed some Amplitube plugins to give them a shot, and I’m pretty impressed at how versatile they seem to be. I got inspired and developed the experiment a bit, using Ableton’s arpeggiator and scale plugins, and played the scale knob to make all the chord changes.
This was done back in January but never posted as I couldn’t see a way to make much of a song out of it. I’d just listen to the whole thing looping forever. Here’s an attempt to make it change a little over time. The original inspiration (and some samples) for this one came from “Twilight in Turkey” a piece Raymond Scott composed for the Electronium, which is now owned my Mark Mothersbaugh.
Arranged field recordings made in New York and Boston with a beat. The recordings and this track were made last April; I wasn’t satisfied with the breakdown (or lack thereof) when the kids start making noise in the middle, so I’m finally just now posting it. The splashy sounds are from the fountain in front of the Brooklyn Museum, some sounds are from the Botanic Gardens next to it, and others are from the Museum of Science in Boston. Everything was recorded with a Zoom H-2.
Trying out the new Alesis io|26 interface and Behringer B-5 microphone, I made a few recordings tapping and drumming on a banjo, dobro, and various other things near the desk. Looped some to make the tones, stretched some out, and did a lot of timing correction with Live.
Pewter Dachshund has bad-assedly written a soundtrack to complete this video, which appeared in a similar form here before (with a found soundtrack by Signal). I’ve submitted this for consideration in the Sarasota Film Festival… if accepted, it would play in their music video shorts program in April.
It was fun putting this together– I’m sure it was a challenge to make a soundtrack to an already-existing piece of video, especially when I pretty much didn’t want to make any cuts in the piece, but rather to have it flow along, evolving.

Here’s a recent video… I’ve been making lots using an object that gives me a grid of squares to play with. The music is “Sporett” from Signal’s latest album, Robotron
