(beat of the week no.-23. vol. minus one) Lil’ Wiggler’s Temple
This is a lil stop to lil wiggler’s temple. It starts nice, but in front of the altar it gets intense. Wasn’t trying for anything special here, just had an idea I wanted to get out.
You can download the .wav file if you want.
(beat of the week no.-22, vol. minus one)Titan Wades Through the Tsunami
I believe I had intentions for what to do with this beat at another point in time but they've since evaded my mind. I could be wrong, but I think the "bass" sound on here was done with the free FM synthesizer called Lizard. I find Operator, the one in Ableton Live difficult to use, but mainly because I'm not the best with making FM synth patches by hand.
(beat of the week no.-21, vol. minus one) Bunny Lost in Chill Zones
During this time (2010), I was going through a think of taking real-sounding drum parts, compressing them really hard and then gating the results. This was one of the better examples that I've done. It also is closer to a real song's structure.
(beat of the week no.-20, vol. minus one) Montage Mastering the Plasma Power
This is another of the "radiohead-y" guitar tracks. I can't remember if I liked how the drums sounded, but they are alright. I believe I was also playing with different "baritone"-esque guitar tunings at the time.
You can download the .wav here, as always.
(beat of the week no.-19, vol. minus one) oiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii
This beat was when I started making my beats more song like. The new beats I'm making will be loner mixes like this one.
As always you can download the .wav.
(beat of the week no.-18, vol. minus one) Burgundy Forest
This beat is from when I was trying to go for more guitar oriented, "radiohead"-sounding material. Not much else to say here.
You can download the original .wav file.
(beat of the week no.-17, vol. minus one) What is Dead May Never Bertate
This is another one from 2010, before I was trying to make beats regularly. I think around this time I got a new audio interface, a Presonus Audiobox USB. I was still, however having issues with getting it to record audio properly or stably and I used a guitar chord as a sample here. During this time I was into the idea of making fake drums sound more real, there is a good deal of velocity sensitivity in the drums here eventhough it is looping.
The title of this beat is based on Game of Thrones (what the Ironborn say when they "baptize" someone) and "bertate" which is a somewhat fake word that news caster said when she had a very mild stroke on-air (she actually says "heavy bertation") : www.youtube.com/watch?v=IBcwG3zw4vg
You can download this track as a .wav if you want.
(beat of the week no.-17, vol. minus one) Boiler Plate
This is the first of the older stuff from around 2010, I did this on a whim not knowing that I was going to do with it afterwards and then started working on some beats by myself. This sounds a bit "antiquated" but I am happy with the sensitivity I gave to the drum sounds.
As always you can download the .wav
(beat of the week no.-15, vol. minus one) The Tickler Massaler
This beat was when I had access to some really good piano VST, I believe it was The Grand, I could be wrong though. This was mainly born out of wanting to test that VST and trying to find a way to extend beats, which I probably got from listening to Peaches en Regalia (by Frank Zappa), many of the parts of that song are repeated but on different instruments.
The beat you can download is a .wav
(beat of the week no.-14, vol. minus one) Up Out the Ooze
This is another beat that I made I made in Reason. Not much else to say beyond that. I really like the "shaker" sound in whatever drum synth/sampler I used. I believe the vocal portion was done in Ableton live and the two tracks were combined via ReWire.
The track can be downloaded as a .wav
(beat of the week no.-13, vol. minus one) Double Drummers
This was a beat, from Spring of 2009, where I warped two beats together. The rest of the beat is not much to write home about but I'm happy with how it came out.
You can download the .wav file
(beat of the week no.-12, vol. minus one) Mysterious Steampunk Clock Vendor
This is another one of the "warp" experiments in Ableton Live, one of the better ones. Not much else going on there.
The file available for download is a .wav
This is a track where I was using Propellerhead Reason. If you're not familiar, Reason has an interface that resembles a rack of synths which can be connected with virtual wires. It also has an area that has regular "tracks" like most DAW's but I wanted to "play" Reason like an old synth rack. In this beat, there are several parts hooked up to different step sequencers. I activated the different parts by connecting the step sequencers to different instruments.
As always, you can download the original .wav file.
(beat of the week no.-10, vol. minus one) Porkus Parade
This is a fun little beat that I made playing with some recordings and Ableton Live's warp feature. This is about when I feel like my playing with the warp feature started to become more productive
As always, the file you download is a .wav
(beat of the week no.-09, vol. minus one) Schwiben Enters
This track was made with Reason when I was trying to expand my knowledge into different programs. Schwiben is my nonsensical nickname for one of my cats.
As always, you can download the original .wav file.
(beat of the week no.-08, vol. minus one) Possessed by an Old TV
This is a beat I did when I was experimenting with warping, but with beats. I really like the dark mood in this one and the metallic quality of the rhythm part.
You can, as always, download the original .wav file.
(beat of the week no.-07, vol. minus one) Demoaner
This was a beat I made, probably in 2008 and didn't share for a while. It was made in Logic Audio (the windows version) and was originally intended for some kind of performance piece that never came to fruition.
The guitar part is raw, without any kind of amp simulation and sounds it and the mix is bad, but for some reason I like the way it loops and the way I incorporated chromatic notes in there.
