I composed this piece while observing my son's kindergarden class. I recorded all the music but felt something was missing, Miles came in my studio and started singing, we started playing around with plug-ins, found a vocoder setting that sounded fun, voila. :)

 

the composition is very angular and weird, I'm still not sure I even 'like' it...but well, it's music I guess :D

 

most of the tune was recorded using my brand new recording computer (Sweetwater CS Cube) with Cubase SX3...still learning SX3, so far I love it.

btw, though the Lm-7 drums don't sound too bad, I probably will try to add real drums to this at some point, worth the effort I think

still needs some work of course (painted walls, mixer needs new location, etc.)

For those of you who are old enough to remember the progressive music of the 70's(but with just a tad more pop), check out these two songs from a 'CD-in-the-works' by my band "Sonic Music".

 

The first one was dedicated to Gentle Giant. Most of the lead lines are minimoogs with no midi;)

(The solo towards the end is a keyboard)

Poly, it seems that your songs belong to the stuff that I like very much... I am a well-known sucker for all things proggy! :D

I would say... quite Genesis influenced, but also with a fair amount of fusion sensibilities.

Great stuff. In the vein of best from the 70's indeed! Btw, your singer's voice (or was it you singing?) reminded me of Phil Collins, and that's a compliment. :)

I am back.

I thought it sounded more like older Kansas actually, with Gentle Giant overtones.

Well, I listened again and you are probably right about "Falling Down"... But "Closer"... I still think it's closer to Genesis (especially if considering A Trick Of The Tail era) and jazz-rock overall.

And I would repeat again - great stuff. :thu:

I am back.

Thanks Gulliver!

That's me on the vox. I get the Phil Collins thing all the time! Hey, he's got more $$$ than I do so that's OK with me ;)

Thanks again for the kind words....

'preciate it!

Thanks Dave! I take that as a compliment....

Funny, I have no Kansas albums and maybe two Genesis albums.

Cheers

Hmmm...

I'll have to take another Progger's advice and go back and check 'em out again.

I haven't heard those two albums in YEARS...

I might listen with a new attitude.

I was more from the 'jazz/fusion/canterbury crowd...Mahavishnu,Egg,Bruford,National Health (Dave Stewart was always my favorite-after Hendrix ;) )!

 

Thanks Dave!

I liked the second one. I was unable to hear the first one as I got a broken quicktime icon when I clicked on the link.

Thanks Steve!

 

Hmmm.. yes there seems to be a problem on that first link(it's been working for months-don't know what happened).

Try copying the link and paste it in your players browser-I used winamp and it worked fine.

But for some reason the first one comes up with a "The dada that the plug-in requested did not download successfully"

I'm workin on

All of the music I have done has been strictly for my own amusement made with bare bones out of date equipment and mixed either through headphones or on home stereo speakers that were purchased in the late 70's so please be gentle with your criticism. :D

 

First up, a short piece that I came up with after I bought a Korg N5. I wanted to do something with the cheesier sounds it had such as electric cowbell and "beat boxing", so I sequenced a beat and played the rest of the parts over that and recorded them to an 8 track HD recorder.

 

Funky Korg

 

I bought a Roland S-10 sampling keyboard at a pawn shop and used it to add some samples to a beat to crack one of my friends up. I sampled dialog from the movie Sling Blade to come up with...

W A R N I N G! Contains STRONG language.

 

I've used Acid Music and Fruity Loops to do a few remixes of Beastie Boys songs. I got the vocal samples for the first one from the Sonic Foundry website when they did a remix the Beastie Boys contest. The second one (Pass The Mic) features a synth riff that I came up with and played on the Korg.

p.s. Some of these use copyrighted material but I just did them for fun, not to make money or to advertise anything. I don't think I've violated any laws or broken any rules but I will remove the links if neccesary.
