Late night weirdness... working on some music, stopped to write a few things down, picked up on this very faint shimmering sound in the headphones.  After some tinkering, I realized it was coming from the new synth - ran it into a very hot preamp then filtered out some of the noise to get this.  

The Prologue supposedly has analog VCOs, but maybe there's some sort of crosstalk from a digital tuning routine?  It's in the effects signal chain, but adjusting oscillator output, VCF, LFO, etc doesn't have any effect. Vaguely reminds me of tinkering with my grandfather's shortwave rig trying to find numbers stations, or old phone system background switching noise.

Korg Prologue 16 - fascinating background noises

early Vince Guaraldi work written for a church program combining jazz combo and children's choir (from before the Peanuts days) re-worked to reflect the later Peanuts sound with a little Rhodes electric piano and bossa vibe.  Not really a Christmas tune, but one of my favorite to pull out during the season.

quick Sunday sketch - Theme to Grace

All Funk n' Games - Everybody Wants to Rule the World (Nigel Hall version)

All Funk n' Games - Hang Up Your Hangups (live at Spanish Ballroom)

a cold, emotional run through the wet woods, not sure how it would all turn out.  deep piano, organ drone, woody bass... liking the tones I'm getting.

003 - Lost Dog Home (Oct 2015)

endless guitar effect chains combined with Prophet emulation with a little extra FM arpeggio thrown in... 

004+008 the decider (Oct/Dec 2015)

more emulation on Halloween night... ARP 2600 combined with Yamaha CS80 and Minimoog in odd timing... he's coming for you.

005 - Escape (Oct 2015)

just a quick little feeling... fuzzy out of tune Moog behind a CS80 with some woodwinds... digital emulation of analog shortcomings.

006 - from afar (Nov 2015)

Old Heart (sketch)

the dying old iMac has been resurrected (for now)...

029 (May 2018)

A little Ribbon In the Sky, a little Summertime Madness, a lot of MicroKORG+Nord in early 2003 (...before they were hip)

Boat Fire (Feb 2003)

weird dumping ground for barely-worked out ideas and stuff... some collaboration and solo work underway, but not here.
