A piece blending warm tones and electronica.

Through

This is also a laid back piece, this time mostly using synthesis, with a bit of acoustic guitar.

C2016-15

This is as much as a live take can be.  No mixing, no making things
prettier, no artistic afterthoughts (which are nice on their own).

This is raw from Bitwig, imported into Mixbus32C without further ado. Get your dose of carotene form here.

Enjoy.  Possibly at a good volume.

One year of Soundcloud - thanks to everyone !!

This piece was made using u-he synthesizers that are freely available:  many instances of the TyrellN6, Beatzille, Triplecheese, Podolski and Zebralette synths, with stock sound patches.

Tlucco

This is an improv based on some sound from the Xebra soundset by Corin Neff for the Zebra2 synthesizer.  As I got the update a few days ago, the first sound I played was the bass sound and the riff that I played.  I liked the sound, so I recorded it.  Then I added a few more synth ambient tracks.  I grabbed the guitar and played along.  This was nice but it needed some solo instrument.  I found one in Xebra and then found the other in another Corin Neff soundset, 'Zebra Orchestra'.  Drums and some percussion round up the improvisation. Done in Bitwig then exported and mixed in Harrison Mixbus32C.  Then exported as stereo track and reloaded in Mixbus32C for 'mastering'. All on Linux.

Oneiric : of or relating to dreams.

'Oneiric 1' is like a story out of a dream where logic is distorted although some unconscious thread weaves them in and out as if responding to some kind of continuity.  This is not an abstract piece, though.  It mimicks quite well what is found in reality, drums, basses, leads, but seems to tell a story whose plot will never be known.

This is not a love song.  It's not a soothing song.  Although it's colorful in its own way.

Oneiric-1

This is the 2nd mix for the ongoing project jam112.  This iteration adds a contributed fretless bass part from wjl (Wolfgang)

jam112-fretlessBassMix

Another busy, and somewhat perhaps heavy, track featuring the free Triple Cheese oscillator-free synth, this time with more sound processing.  All sounds by Triple Cheese except the drums, percussions and audio treatments.

A Case of Käse Part Deux : Planet Gorgonzola

First sounds using the Waverazor on Linux.  drums, synth percussion and bass combo are regular production, the rest are several instances of Waverazor.  After a short bit, the combo drops and only Waverazor is heard, including the rhythm synth.  No research for sounds was made, these are really the first sounds made with that synth released for Linux yesterday.

Here's a Summer Theme, another upbeat and bright piece this time built on acoustic bass guitar and acoustic guitars.  With drums, percussions and synth coloring.

Summer Theme

This is a slow somber piece with some voices, oboe, cello and waves of noise.
New version December 6th 2018: rebalanced drums and a more enveloping bass for the slow rhythm.

Fiori

Face Value

This is a slow, relaxed piece in two parts, with a piano solo as the second part. It's based on a slow pulse, like a breathing, that opens the piece. Over this breathing percussion populates some silences while the guitar 'dances' over it, augmenting the base rhythm. It's a bit like three layers of rhythm, in a way. Like a basic pulse giving birth to more details.

Manouri

A synth piece.  Are promises hammering at your door ?

Promises

An acoustic piece, kind of story-telling.

Monogatari 02

A spiced up bass/piano improv basically.  With the voices of Vernon Coleman and Amazing Polly.
