Boomer Loops

Travel music. I am on a mission to create music tracks as I travel throughout the world. I take a look in the music "refrigerator" to see what ingredients I have an impulsively begin "cooking" making it up as I go with no room for mistakes and in a limited time of several hours.

Alchemy

After being on a rickety old bus careering through Java I just needed to create something that was light, happy and carefree.

Funkin' Good Time in Java

I've tried to capture the frenetic trip we just did through eastern Java on a battered old bus.


Hurtling Through The Javanese Jungle in an Antiquainted Bus

This track was inspired by out train trip from Surabaya to Jogjakarta in July 2024. I made it with Logic on the train while it clattered through the Javanese landscape.

Journey Back To Jogja

I made this track on the flight from Melbourne to Bali at the beginning of my 4 month sojourn in Indonesia from June to the end of October. It's supposed to have the vibe of being on a plane across the ocean on the way to the equator.

Cruising Altitude

We drove from Borododur on a road through verdant fields as the sun set in Java while I was making this track, I finished it at Jogjakarta Airport.

Leaving Jogja

I woke up this morning in Bali, the sun was coming up, I felt great and this track is what came of it.

Morning Glory

The Subterraneans

Smoozin'

Storm's Epiphany

I Wonder .........

Sound Sketches

Brain Fog

Reach For The Stars

A Moment Of Sublime Clarity

I visited my daughter and her partner's new apartment a few nights ago and put this track together when I got home.

Cambridge St

So far this is a backing track for something I'm going to add guitar to. The name was inspired by the almost 44 Degree (Celsius) day.

It's So Hot Outside I'm Gonna Melt

Funkin' Russians

Today I had the most wonderful discussion with my 19 year old son, Finn.
The subject was responsibility versus blame. We got into all aspects of the repercussions of cause/effect and the difference between blaming others for our misfortune and condition as opposed to taking whatever responsibility that we can ourselves. This discussion inspired this 
"sound sketch" which took about 2 hours max but for me it epitomizes what we spoke about. So now whenever I listen to this piece of music I will remember the magic moment that we shared.

The Responsibility Blame Game

Stuck On The Track

I Just Wanna Drive My Tractor

My name is Gary Collier. I was born in
1952. I play guitar but recently I've started creating music using Logic Pro loops which I'm really enjoying. I had to get over the initial guilt that I was cheating but I've resolved this now.
