this is so trippy in retrospect. way better than i remember it when we produced it. it aged very well

I didn't know this track existed until Jon reposted it today...Awesome journey with soundscapes and outstanding collaboration

Very cool soundscape journey and outstanding collaboration work!

Thanks for checking out my Soundcloud Collaborations. It begin early with Dirty Phillip when we created the music group 'HIVE MIND'. Phil graciously introduced me to ableton live suite 9, and trained my stubborn ass in all the bells and whistles. He is an instrumental influence on my style, no doubt. From there, I created the album ranges, which caught the attention of Rick Shearer, and we continue to work together. I worked with Jubal Thomas briefly, but he ghosted on me! Where are you Jubal? haha. Then I had the pleasure to work with 31-439/Chosokabe, on the Confinement Remix, which helped me get through a troubled time. Thanks to all and I look forward to adding to this list!

Tribute to Phil Dick. RIP Leon

“Empathy, evidently, existed only within the human community, whereas intelligence to some degree could be found throughout every phylum and order including the arachnida. For one thing, the empathic faculty probably required an unimpaired group instinct; a solitary organism, such as a spider, would have no use for it; in fact it would tend to abort a spider’s ability to survive. It would make him conscious of the desire to live on the part of his prey. Hence all predators, even highly developed mammals such as cats, would starve.”

Labyrinth

It was the popular theme for jests; it was the best cure for headache, it infallibly prevented the hair from turning grey, it imparted a peculiar delicacy to the complexion, it was the National Razor which shaved close: who kissed La Guillotine, looked through the little window and sneezed into the sack...It sheared off heads so many, that it, and the ground it most polluted, were a rotten red.

Don't Step On The Trufflulas

GRANULAR SYNTHESIS AND BLACK MIDI ! OH MY! 

SO....this track is an experiment (but very listenable). 

--The first thing you hear is a simple drum beat (it's 4/4 but has a sort of complex math pattern to the repetion.) 

--At 3 seconds, the granular synth starts. It's Travelizer within Reaktor within Cubase. It's a deconstruction of a 60 second BipTunia radio ad. (You can hear the unaltered ad immediately after the very end of the track so you know what I started with.) I play the granular track on a keyboard after assigning ranges from within Travelizer.  

--At 3 minutes, 12 seconds, two things come in together, and continue to the end of the track. One is a whole-tone long tritone bass pedal thing. The other is some continually changing mellow beats in the Reaktor Groovebox called Go Box. I changed parameters in a pleasing way as it played. 

--At 16 minutes and 20 seconds, some black midi piano comes in. Just because. lol. 

--The song proper ends at 25 minutes, 11 seconds. Just after the song is the ad I sampled to granulate in Travelizer. 

NO OTHER SYNTHESIZERS OF ANY KIND WERE USED IN THIS SONG! (RIP Freddie Mercury). 

If you don't know, GRANULAR SYNTHESIS is a fairly new thing in this form. Basically you import audio, and the program chops it up into thousands of tiny samples, called a "cloud." Then rearranges them on the fly from what you play on a keyboard, also dependent on your settings.

Can Grains in a Tornado Go Right Through Ya?

Work in progress. Gonna layer a solo over it at least. Maybe some talking too.

I'm counting this as what looks like 8 and 1/8th "measures" of music, that then starts over. 

It's probably actually just in 2/4 for eight measures, then in 1/16 for one measure. then starts over.

Anyone who can conclusively prove to me what time sig this is, I'll send you some free BipTunia stickers.

Dirty Phillip helped me convert this guitar rift into a digital track. It was left incomplete, and I finally finished the composition. Guest vocals by Ash Morgan.

I fell in love with Rick's melancholy 4 beat-song and contacted him. I knew the track had potential. After a bit of work chopping up the track, it fell into a very natural jam. I hope you enjoy!

Making Chances (Jonny 5ive remix)

Rick Shearer - Making chances (remix by Jonny 5ive)

Original track by https://soundcloud.com/31-439
https://soundcloud.com/31-439/depart-peaks

Lyrics:
I found us some way
what do you mean it´s too cold
ice covered peaks.. this isn't good
for hours on end
hours until we depart

In me i tried over the hill landslide
with you i am
always in here
wondering how i´m always in here

Edit mix 28.7 + remix

Like most of my work, this track is entirely experimental as I explore the depths of ableton suite and its various tools and settings. The production of this track occurred during an extremely hard time in my life, a horrendous tragedy. That is why the track experiences a wide range of tonal change and emotions, especially the heavy and sometimes obnoxious percussion inspired by early works of DJ Shadow. Thanks to 31-439 for allowing me to throw paint at your canvas!

Flume 4 - 2

Borne from a little piano riff. Enjoy! Still in draft form. I may improve later, and add something. This one really resisted my rearrangements. It spoke to me and said it had to be this way. A rarity in my case!

Welcome to the Jonny 5 Project music channel!  This project pays homage to a typical 80's childhood inundated with all kinds of robot-themed science fiction,

This project is a simulated experience. You are listening to the Jonny 5 musical robot Serial# A00785, manufactured as a replacement of juke boxes and human disc jockeys. Jonny 5ive plays his music in a dark, smoky, dystopian, shantytown future bar called "Castella" to ease the strain on the minds of the working class. His traveling shows are quite popular in the Dogtown slums and Mechano district.

Bandcamp: coming soon!

Will trade music for promotion. Currently Open for collaborations. Or to buy a commercial music license visit me on https://www.fiverr.com/share/382XBY
