A Light Slide (Jamuary Day 6)

Cold (Jamuary Day 7)

Had some fun with sound design creating the drum patterns before recording the upright bass and guitar. The song alternates between 4/4 and 10/4. I let the drum pattern play by itself at the end. 

SDJ - Ants

This is another sound design song, the rhythm stutters while the guitar plays a chord progression with each chord sustained. 

SDJ - VHaVT

This is more sound exploration where I created a sound with one of Ableton's instruments, adding various effects and baking in automation to start out with. I then used that sound to craft the individual drums. When the drums were finished, I chose a guitar line I had recorded for Jamuary and added it to Granulator III which sits on top. What I find really cool is I doubt anyone would guess it started out as a guitar and ends up being entirely rhythmic. I decided it sounded just fine as is, it's one of the few songs I've made without adding any melodic or harmonic instruments.

SDJ - One-Two

A half-dozen 30-second takes of my toying with the Make Noise Morphagene reel by Walker, for the "continuing iterative music project", featured in the video "12-String Guitar Drones" on the Make Noise YouTube channel: youtu.be/lnc3ovo6098

Inspired by the composition style of one of my favorite musicians, I focused on instilling movement through varied sections and key changes.

Noise maker, making noise, that sometimes sounds like music!
