New collab track, sort of ambient dancehall: https://hushhushrecords.bandcamp.com/track/chants-x-korma-sleepless-rhythm
This was fun because the other producer wrote the main loop as a demo, so I just got to arrange it into a full track and only think about sounds & layers. I wish I could work like that all the time (also had only one day to get it in, which helped with committing to decisions).

Spacey, and I like the bell sounds!
I made a track this week. Kind of prog/deep house with lots of choppy pads and reverb: https://soundcloud.com/djisbister/chop

I love everyone's new stuff! Such a wide array of sounds.
Here's a revision of a semi-recent thing. I've created my jangle pop masterpiece!

Thank you! That's what I try to do. There's enough ugly in the world already, how about something nice?

oh lol my kick drum pedal fell apart three songs in and wouldn't stay together after i fixed it but otherwise it was p solid. played in the hot basement of a bar i think we've all vowed to never play again
― princess of hell (BradNelson), Monday, 10 September 2018 18:26 (six years ago) link
a song i've been mucking baout with. i get a bit camera shy and i messed it up halfway through, but still it's a bit of sureealist quasi-jazz fluff

one of the songs we recorded with albini back in the spring. the video isn't great but this is the first of those songs to be officially released

Can't play it?
― change display name (Jordan), Tuesday, 4 December 2018 15:47 (five years ago) link
ugh you can try getting to it through this but don't read the dumb article
― na (NA), Tuesday, 4 December 2018 15:49 (five years ago) link
if you do read it and wonder why we're apparently releasing a "split EP," the dude from the band wanted to buy promo, but he wanted to promote both albums we have coming out this year (one without me, one with me), but he didn't want to PAY to promote two albums, so he apparently told them it's a "split EP" so he could give them tracks from both albums and get them both promoted for the price of one??? i don't know
― na (NA), Tuesday, 4 December 2018 15:52 (five years ago) link
That's pretty cool, NA. I like the guitar sounds. I bet the record sounds great, based on what the Youtube stream sounds like.

Been working on this on and off in my bedroom. Might wanna re sing a couple of parts but it's more or less there. Any feedback appreciated https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MC9tKNZWm9Q

I liked it, especially the breakdown at the end. The vocals were a little odd at first but they grew on me by the end of the song. Cool stuff!
― DJI, Friday, 7 December 2018 18:07 (five years ago) link
thank you. yeah I don't like doing 'normal' vocals.

You and austin should get together to make the spaciest all-guitar jams of all time.

lovely playing Evan

Thank you! I was really enjoying your "old" link up there just now (but haven't clicked the new one yet)
― Evan, Friday, 7 December 2018 18:41 (five years ago) link
proud of that one. did it a few years ago all in my bedroom with my mates using Reason and various instruments. thank you
― Scritti Vanilli - The Word Girl You Know It's True (dog latin), Friday, 7 December 2018 20:19 (five years ago) link
Evan, that's rad. Very Vini Reilly.
dog latin, is this all you? Just in terms of production quality, it has a really nice, warm sound. The song is really good, too. I love how it feels kind of formless. I'm expecting a chord change or a refrain at certain points and it doesn't come right away.
― Totally different head. Totally. (Austin), Friday, 7 December 2018 21:51 (five years ago) link
yeah just using Reason and my guitar/bass and programmed drums. Thanks man.
I worked out a neat trick where I sped the tempo of the whole instrumental track up to double speed (without changing the pitch, then slowed it down back to the original speed (this time with the pitch changing).
then I did it again, slowed the original track right down to half tempo, then sped it up so it was the same original tempo but pitched up
then I overplayed these two tracks on the original sound and it gives it this weird harmonic fullness
― Scritti Vanilli - The Word Girl You Know It's True (dog latin), Friday, 7 December 2018 22:16 (five years ago) link
what I'm saying is you essentially have a pitched down track and a pitched up track layer over the top of the original and it gives it this sort of thrombing sound
― Scritti Vanilli - The Word Girl You Know It's True (dog latin), Friday, 7 December 2018 22:18 (five years ago) link
Well, it sounds really unique either way.
― Totally different head. Totally. (Austin), Friday, 7 December 2018 22:42 (five years ago) link
Sounds really good dl! Although I want to hear those handclaps much louder and heavily compressed ;)
― change display name (Jordan), Friday, 7 December 2018 23:15 (five years ago) link
those have been bugging me. I'll try some compression. cheers

i am feeling bold so i am going to share this recently recorded improvised noodle for drumset and contact mic -- it's noisy and weird but it's what i sound like i guess? :) https://soundcloud.com/marshmallowy/12-7-2018-improvisation-with-contact-mic-and-drums
― weird woman in a bar (La Lechera), Monday, 10 December 2018 18:44 (five years ago) link
on a different note, here is one of my experiments with the looper. it's just voice and drums. it's also very slow but steady i hope https://soundcloud.com/marshmallowy/week-16

I must check these once I'm near a player
― frame casual (dog latin), Thursday, 13 December 2018 23:41 (five years ago) link
the first one is hella noisy and the second one is way different -- not noisy? both are basement Zoom recordings so don't expect much in that department :)
