Howlr

This is a warmup loopy jam recorded at Bird & Egg Studio with my friend Cody Rhodes on drums. I was playing a Fender Bass VI. Cole Williams engineered.

Bird & Egg Jam

This tune was a super fun exercise in DAW-less looping. Cole had been wanting to make a tape loop by physically cutting and splicing together 2 bars of a drumbeat I performed. After he made the loop, I added guitars, bass, and synths. Cole even synced up a drum machine with the loop, which took a few attempts to get locked in due to time phasing.

After we filled up 8 tracks, Cole did a console mix by adjusting the faders in real time and doing delay throws to the SpaceEcho. He also changed the tape speed midway thru.  Pretty cool analog nerd stuff :)

The only time it touched the computer was for mastering.

DAW-less Tape Loop

This started as a "production study" in which Cole and I tried to match the drums, congas, guitars and bass to the original song as best we could. Then it ended up turning into a Toro y Moi inspired dreamy textured synth landscape. I really like how the piano turned out. Cole used Ableton's stretch tool to make the tails all glitched out. Note the well-timed Juul hit at 1:01 that serves as a nice wash of white noise ;)

Running Away -  Roy Ayers

This one's hot off the presses. I'm out of town with a mini setup right now (laptop, Akai MPK mini, and a SSD with my audio library). This one was a fun challenge because I couldn't track any actual instruments and I was working against a self-imposed deadline. The only elements that aren't my own homemade samples are the Kick and Snare one-shots and a couple instances of the TAL-U-No-LX soft synth.

Gas Boss

I like that the progression modulates with each repeat. The steel-drum sounding thing is a sample synth I made out of a pianet. The voice at the end is my girlfriend's colleague from her linguistics PhD program. She was demonstrating some wasei-eigo terms (Japanese words that are borrowed from English).
