Just Messing About

This song is part of the Ferry Sessions; short tracks composed in the front seat of my car, or the passenger lounge on the Skeena Queen during my weekly ferry ride into town.  The trip is 35 minutes each way, so, the bulk of the tracks' main themes, phrases, loops, and arrangements are laid down in about an hour, with a wee bit of tinkering when I get back home. 

Contrary to my regular M.O. there are no vintage synths here, just an old MacBook with Garageband, a Microkorg, and a no-name MIDI controller.

Listen. Share. Enjoy!

A Cobalt sky…
A Cobalt drive
And Cobalt waves beyond the horizon.
Cobalt Dreams,
Cobalt gleams.
These are all beautiful things, yeah.

Can you just Imagine
A World filled plenty, woah,
Of all the Goodness for you and me, ah…

This one was a joy to make. Lots of analog goodies for your earbuds.

Hope you enjoy it as much as I do.

Happy holidays and happy new year!

Many thanks to the bot that came up with the art.

SN7 Shenanigans (SN76489) - Week 46

Just messing about while I had my coffee. This is a live analogue jam. No computer, no MIDI, just pure trigger-sync'd goodness. 

For anyone interested:
Roland TR-707 triggering JUNO=6 arpeggiator, Korg Volca Bass sequence, & Pearl DRX-1 drums. I noodled over top (badly) on a Technics SX-K200. Bit-crunch distortion on the Juno courtesy of a BOSS VF-1.

This is obviously NOT a fully realized musical idea, just a bit of fun making noise. ENJOY!

TOAST-N-JAM   ( Live Analogue Synth Jam)

Procrastination is a wonderful thing! I'm supposed to be working on an illustration project but decided to take 10 minutes and have a little live jam session with my Juno-6, 106, TR-707, and a Volca Bass. Now, back to the drawing board...



Procrastination (Juno-6, Juno-106, Volca Bass, TR-707 Live Jam)

A very, very short snippet of this morning's analog synth jam. No big ideas just some blips-n-beats while I drank my coffee. Enjoy!

Acidic Coffee

Just messing things up a bit while I drink my morning coffee. 

This is a "live" jam recorded in one take using a Volca Bass passed through an EH Bass Micro Synthesizer and a $10 analogue delay pedal as the lead. Baseline courtesy of the Juno-6 sync'd to a TR-707. I threw in a couple random samples to spice things up a bit. MIDI be damned! 

Listen LOUD to amuse your neighbours...
(and scare their cats)

Enjoy!

Just a little Minimal Synth with a dash of Acid House composed while my kids were taking a nap. Road music for an afternoon in Dad's space-cruiser. Enjoy!

Just a quick electronic jam recorded to tape and digitized for your listening pleasure. Enjoy!

(Yup, that's a picture of the tape deck used to make this recording.)

A good segment of time crafting this one, yo
Unique synths and unique drum n bass for you, with love...

Happy early Christmas~

When I was Mastering this, somehow the VST plugin I was using to create the Bass got boosted and stuck all the way on maximum power and was unchangeable for some reason. So, I just kept it that way~
