Eyes Flutter Beneath – Inside The Dream Laboratory
I’ve been meaning to mention a top quality ambient release from the artist formerly known as Audio Gourmet. If you like organic ambient then you need to get this disk. Since it’s free for download you don’t have an excuse! Harry Towell sets the bar high with the first track Six Years Dreaming and takes [...]
Halloween in Pakistan
It’s amazing what gets you hits these days. Take Better Homes and Garden’s (US) tutorial on how to make a Halloween wreath. It’s a full page article that can be summed up in a single sentence. To make a pumpkin wreath, glue pumpkins to a wreath! Good advice. But not enough for poor She256: “I [...]
armin van buuren – a state of trance
Trance as Armin Van Buuren has it has raised it’s game recently. I forgot how much I’d missed the old four four and the golden hooks. The Dutch superstar DJ has an electric series of sets that run on Digitally Imported, but if you’ve missed the stream you can grab some episodes in torrent format [...]
music you want: new audio gourmet
When I downloaded copy of Audio Gourmet’s Earth’s Exit Door, it immediately rose to one of my all-time favourite ambient releases. There’s something about all AG stuff that seems so connected to nature, despite its electronic nature (one of my favourite paradoxes of the genre). Now, with Subconscious Substance, Audio Gourmet brings us closer to [...]
CASE’s One laptop per child open day – brief review
Just back from CASE‘s One Laptop per Child Open Day, held this afternoon in Belconnen. We had a good time with a dozen or so people showing up. Visitors were introduced to the laptop and then had the opportunity to play with them and experience the feel of one. This stimulated a good amount of [...]
Two Jams!
So due to some mixups and complications here in the bedroom studio I’ve ended up with two incomplete tracks, but I like enough to want to release them. Somehow I’ve lost the master file for the first track, and the settings for the second are entirely screwed up for no good reason. Both contain what [...]
Awesome Solenoid Symphony
The very definition of Industrial music?
Pop Montage
RnB meets Garritan Personal Orchestra (because I’ve got it running again) but doesn’t quite make it to the finish line…so, for posterity; BuzzMoo – Pop Montage 1.8mb MP3 @ 128kpbs
audio samples for the XO
There are over 10 gig of free audio samples available for XO users and OLPC enthusiasts on the OLPC Wiki. That’s a lot of audio. According to the top of the page, just added are “Loops, Grooves, Licks, Stings, Hits, Pads, Melodic Motives/Themes/Phrases, Sound-Effects, City and Country Soundscapes, Motors, Machines, Toys, Guns, Explosions, Swords, Armor, Cars, [...]
Audio @ BuzzMoo.com
I finally got around to uploading my music back catalogue (as they say in the game). Mostly for posterity’s sake, but if you’re interested in a musical journey of sorts you can easily track my progress here on the audio page. A few fresh beats are on the way.
Danny Elfman Scoring Benicio Del Toro’s The Wolf Man
Elfman has been on a bit of a rampage lately. What with The Kingdom, Wanted and Hellboy II.. I guess he’s not letting the (hundreds?) of millions of dollars stop him from writing captivating music. Tim Burton has been keeping a low profile, and Elfman has used the time to make friends. Today it’s been [...]
Lost In The Mixer (remastered)
This is essentially a collection of bits and pieces that never quite made it.
Musical Inspiration
Logic has been getting a bit of a workout down here in the Bedroom Studio lately. Here’s the latest with some release artwork from Frez. I used NI’s Massive and FM8 for the lead synths in this one, and I’ve really taken to “Delay Designer”…as far as inspiration goes, Ronald Jenkees triggered this one i”m [...]
TOOL Live
You get rock bands that are just there to make noise and have fun and then you have bands like Tool who take what they are doing seriously (Hi…we’re NSYNC). We arrived at the Royal Theatre early enough to be one of the first few into the place – and saw both support acts, a [...]
