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…

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.

Recorded this micro-cast at a job site along the Willamette River. The following sounds can be heard: a ship’s anchor being raised, someone hitting metal with metal, a few voices chattering, a drill.

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.
