something to wash over you....

not a perfect mix, a spontaneous jam; recorded one morning last weekend.

Soft Ripple

a jam from the previous weekend. fleshed-out into something more complete.

The Fraying Storm & The Siren's Collect Call

Andrew Ashong - Love The Way (My Friend Samuel's Edit)

another spontaneous mix. slower grooves this time around. again, it isn't super-neat (technically), but im happy with it. an unplanned jam that meanders across a bunch of different musical fields.

Downtime

a large portion of this track is made with an elastic band. and another part is from recordings of early 20th-C experimental Russian instruments (as part of the CTM festival in Berlin).

it suspect it still needs some work in terms of getting the mix right... so shout out if you can hear some rogue frequencies!

Elastic Head  (- work in progress -)

this is best consumed with sunshine. 

another string thing... most of this track was originally played on a small acoustic guitar. it's a track i worked on periodically, starting it during the north hemisphere's 2013 spring...  (i found it a hard piece to work on, when i wasn't feeling half as cheery as the sounds it contains). 

it reminds me of a chaotic (and fun) train ride through an unknown land, sitting somewhere between deserts and lush wilderness. in terms of consumption, when i started this, i was listening to dubby Deutsch mnml techno and AfroBeat... and i think it shows. 

Loco Motion

this started as a jam. it quickly turned into a 'bridge' track - a track that leads a set in a new direction, as in; the track drastically changes mood as it progresses… taking the listener in a different direction.  

i always thought there was some kind of brooding aggression - or frustration - within the track... but never had an appropriate title for it.

so now i have a (new) title for it. and now i dedicate it to the idea of shaking things up and making a change. 

who sold our future?

here's an edit from about a year ago. it's been sitting on the HD for a while, but now it's time to liberate it.

it takes the Stanton Warrior's 'out of my head' and then rearranges, extends and adds some bits and pieces.

for shits & giggles, you can hear where they found the main hook;

and the vox;

hooray for recorded music. sample. resample. sample. resample. repeat.

Stanton Warriors - Out Of My Head (My Friend Samuel's Edit)

here's another tune that goes back about a year or so. 

it's dark and hectic. 

Sometimes A Monster

Wah wah wah (sketch)

here's a jam. this goes back a few years. it was a school project. just a jam

(deep in) the thick of it ... (a sketch)

Reflected memories (autumn 2013 sketch) 1.13

a lil jam from yesterday... it's bit muddy in the low-end... was unable to record the bass/kick separately.

lamenting (a sick society) - jam

recently i composed the soundtrack to a short film featuring two dancing peacock spiders (tiny Australian jumping spiders). this is part of that. 

the film is now over here; http://www.kindred-soul.net/vision.html



Music for 16 legs - film composition

for when the air is fresh and the light is warm (or for when it's stuffy and dark, but you'd rather pretend it's not).

a.m. groove

an older project. i'm not working under the name Kindred Sol.

my friend samuel is a project that begain in 2007... the debut was at a close-knit psychedelic gathering in south-east Australia, while more-recent highlights include supporting Apparat and Max Cooper, as well as the rabbit-hole that is Berlin...
