Love the atmospheric guitar sound fitting the artwork! The vocal is also cool!

Cloud Occlusion-17

Recorded in February 2024 as part of the RPM Challenge.

A mix of very slowed-down field recordings I've made
of birds in my neighborhood recently. 
The roaring sound is Steller's jays, and the plaintive
sound heard twice is flicker.

Experiments with a recursive composition idea: each sound
event triggers more sound events.  Made with Csound.

Recurse 2

Recorded in February 2024 as part of the RPM Challenge.

This uses the same technique as track 1 (Pianno).
The source sound is harmonics played on my acoustic guitar
tuned to E flat/A/E flat/G/B/E flat.

Guittar

Recurse 4

Recorded in February 2024 as part of the RPM Challenge.

This started with a bit of code I wrote to generate quasi-chaotic
sounds, very noisy.  I then mixed the results "by hand", 
changing speed of playback, and doing other pretty standard
things to try to give the track as much variety as possible
(for a noise track).

Desperate

Recorded in February 2024 as part of the RPM Challenge.

Source sound was recorded inside a spinet piano I had access
to briefly in Gig Harbor, Washington.  

I cut the recording into chunks, then assigned two 
measures to each chunk (proxies for "pitch" and "loudness"),
thus mapping each chunk to a point in 2D space.
I then created a path connecting all of these points using
a greedy, nearest neighbor method.
The path then determined the sequence of the chunks in 
the output.
This was done with different chunk length, and possibly
different starting points, and the layers mixed together.

Pianno

Recorded in February 2024 as part of the RPM Challenge.

I wanted to see what repeated bits with changing envelopes
would sound like.  Lots of layers, a bunch of 
pitches all at a ratio of 4/3.

When it was done, I hacked it quite a bit to shorten it and
reduce monotony and then added reverb by convolving it with
a recording I made in a stairwell I know that has 4+ seconds
of reverberation.  I used my umbrella, and recorded the reverb
when I hit the floor with it.   You can hear the umbrella
hit a number of times in the track: I'm not sure why.

Enveloppe

Heavy wind, rain and thunder in Provence, South Of France. Recorded from under a canopy with two large plane trees on either sides of the microphones.

Gear: 2x Schoeps CCM4 L in ORTF

Recording Location: 43°56'19.3"N 5°23'22.9"E

Thunder and rain in Provence during summer.

Ethereal thought provoking piece about our origins. Begins with acoustic finger picking.

Death Is A Disease

Voyage To Lyra

Fast and loud modern rock tune with great catchy riff. Anger filled piece evoking images of an angry mob.

Pick Your Poison

I've re-set a set of my lyrics from the early 90s and created new music to make the mood a little more sinister.

These recordings are all demos.

Interested in the dark side, the quirky side, but mainly in that buttery biscuit bass.

Bassist and composer from Belfast.

Fancy a collaboration? Drop me a line.

A full time, freelance children's book illustrator, introduced to Magix music making software in January 2014.  Haven't been near music production since school about a hundred years ago.  Can't play a note, and sing like a drain unblocking - Hence any music I may eventually have the nerve to upload is all created using midi/vst instruments playing compositions created in the piano roll editor.   The Magix forum dedicated to music production is the only place to suffer my creations so far.  Didn't realise it could be so much fun though.  Woohoo.

Join me and a lot of other artists at www.atomcollectorrecords.com.
Get more plays for your tracks and meet a lot of awesome people!
Cheers!
