press record

Advice from a long time ago: No matter what, always press ‘record’.

. . .

Quick improv with a guitar and updated SC3 code. Trying to get back into the habit again, as they say. All sounds were created live, one instrument, no edits, no bullshit. (hint: headphones…?)

the dropkick choreography

This is meant to be a hero’s welcome. Guitar+Echoes=Fanfare!

. . .

In honor of a friend’s recent achievement, here’s an old piece we made. There are bits of raw audio created with guitar, edited with SC3, and some live guitars I mixed WAY down deep for our amusement. This piece made it onto some mix cassettes that were sold at a few 1st Thurdsay’s a year or so ago.
Another of these historical pieces to be made available soon…

Portland, OR: Portland Art Museum, China Design Now exhibit

In the graphic design section of the China Design Now exhibit at PAM. Listen for: floor creakiness, minimal tones played from animation pieces, random voices.

Portland, OR: Trimet #15

I recorded this during a bus ride home after work. It was a particularly chatter-y ride. Small family seated in front of me, young couple behind me… lots going on.

a good reason for sleeping

I don’t particularly mean the snow outside, but that is also true.

. . .

I kind of went all out with this one: three separate loops built from basic guitar chords/notes, some live electric piano (broken) melodies, and a sample that I mildly mangled up into a CoH-style back-beat. Hold onto yr socks, I know.

I created/processed everything with SC3 and mixed it all live with the same toy.
