This Summer's Day

I wrote this song over twenty years ago with David Hodgkins.  I composed the music.  David did the arrangement and lyrics. This is only one rendition of the instrumental recording. Vocals are pending.

Feed The Children

Recorded entirely on my iPad. This is an experimental piece featuring Brian Eno's "Scape" and embellished with drones from Samvada and spacial bell highlights from Grain Science.  Since Scape is not compatible with AudioBus, I output the recording to a portable digital recorder and imported the sound into Beatmaker 2.  AudioBus was used to record directly from Grain Science and Samvada and layered into the final tracks.  When I normalized the Scape sample, there was quite a bit of hiss, so I rand the final mix through Level.24 EQ.  I just listened to it in the car and it sounds a bit muddled.  I will boost the output and try re-recording Scape to get a better original signal to avoid normalizing.  My guess is it introduced audible artifacts that are unwanted in the final output.

Final Output: AudioBus Input: BeatMaker 2 FX: Level.24, Output Loopy. All samples edited in Beatmaker 2.

Wonderment

Recorded entirely on my iPad. I remastered this recording using Beatmaker 2.  The original was done on Garageband and final output was too muddy.  This is a cleaner recording and awaiting live guitar solo recording to be added in at a later date. This is an experimental piece featuring uPhase+ which is a minimalist instrument that lets you play sequences of different lengths against each other, creating complex patterns. Instruments: uPhase Piano, GarageBand Smart Strings, ThumbJam Tenor Sax, Beatmaker 2, Ludwig Dry Drum Samples, Final Output: Beatmaker 2 WAV. Final fades edited in Hokusai.
