not sure why i upload these.  something to do i suppose :)

practice/works in progress

just messing around with sound integration.
mixed for headphones and/or something with decent bass

utitled 34 intro

i was working on a chord progression and this happened.
this is probably the closest i get to "trance" on purpose.
it's short... i won't likely develop this any further but
i thought it interesting enough to post for posterity :)

eta crinkle (WIP)

trying breakbeat-ish.
the mix doesn't totally suck but i can think of a few more things i'd like to hit it with before calling it finished: some panning headphone candy on one of the perc tracks, some cut-up vox maybe, and a bit more polish on the transitions.


break specie

getting freaky with distortion and drums and violins.  all the while trying like hell to pay attention to song structure instead of getting lost in picking textures and the like.  it's like trying to write a book instead of choosing your background color and font.  as such i had to resist putting even more in here... i'm surprised the mix sounds as balanced as it does.

roamer

monkeying around with envs/filters.  this was generated with 3 tracks each being driven by a separate filter env... each of those was driven by the same midi track repurposed to be a parameter automator.  don't ask why i did that... i was just monkeying around with trying to create a monster parameter driver in ableton w/o having to resort to putting it all into max.

fun with envs

sort of a low/hi c drone with a melody build-up in the middle.  i was using phrase repetition and interpolation with slight modification as a way to help me learn to create interest.  i have more to work with here so a few more sequences to go.
