Bad boys - nana (Demo)

First there was a common funky beat for 2 minutes or so. Then there was a bass played during those 2 minutes in a complete improv mood. Then a nylon guitar came breaking time. Then a steel guitar came bending time. Then some djembes, shakers and seeds came defying the beat and eliminating it.

In the spirit of mixing traditional instruments with free jazz approach, a simple though "we are lost in time" emerges.



Lost in time

A piece from the last year archive reworked in these days

Metropolis (everyday life of common people)

My submission for this week's Naviar Haiku challenge. 
"The vast kelp forests / create spooky habitats / blocking out the sun" by Meg / Haiku Lizard.

The track uses three gradually shifting melodies with a lot of reverb (and no dry signal) as well as some echoes to give an underwater feel. The top end has been rolled off quite a bit to remove some of the 'light' , and the tone control on the reverb (Strymon Big Sky) has been severely cut to avoid the high frequencies.  The burbling noises are pink noise put through a resonant Wasp filter, which has the frequency swept by a random output, and is also occasionally pinged by a randomly triggered and very short envelope. This is panned randomy, and also each side of the stereo field is treated with different EQ and levels of reverb / echo.

I make electronic ambient and drone music using modular synthesis to explore themes of nature, space, isolation, man/machine interaction, and the borders of the sleep/wake cycle.
