Dubstep

I tried to make a Dubstep/Glitch song entirely on my phone in FruityLoops mobile version while I waited for my car to get fixed.  The rhythm is messy, but so are doctors.

Patience Patients

This is a multi-layer improvised song using Korg Radias, and my own voice piped through a guitar pedal in echo mode.  Also filtered in Audacity.

Temperature World

Algorithmic live improvised song in Haskell programming language in Tidal Cycles, that I later ran through audacity and clipped out some parts where I messed up.

Sand Whales

Nulla apparet ratio.
Si causa est, non invenimus.

Translation:
There is no apparent reason.
If there is a reason, we have not found it.

This girl tried to believe in a purpose, but she encountered too much pain and no longer believes in justice.

Non Invenimus

Imagine you are in a cathedral, and then suddenly the chamber choir breaks into dubstep...

Chamber Dub

When you want to zippity zip, but the other person just "wants to cuddle".  My sympathy goes to anyone who didn't sleep right.

Just Want Cuddles

I was going for a dubstep innocent evil that sees through your charade.

Flowers And Bones

Thank you to Avid from Singapore for convincing me to make another version of just the end of this song.

Watch a practice session of the end part of the song: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6HrLpqBfKhI

If you really like the end of the song, the calm part, I made a separate song called "Sad Window" of that with piano, for people that want to just chill out.

And here is the remastered version of the end, by itself:

Lost Window

I don't like you, just your shadow.
Algorithmic generated voice.
Organ of course.

I Like Your Shadow

My cat's name is officially Holstein (which is the name for a type of cow), but we call her Steeny.
She is a mostly white cat with mostly symmetrical black spots.
With my cat, I say "Chimkin" instead of chicken.
I trained my cat to walk and use buttons when she wants things.
I love my cat, but now she hits all the buttons and it wakes me up in the middle of the night.  And for some reason she goes number 2 outside of the litter box for the last 10 years.
Here is a video of her walking on 2 legs: https://www.youtube.com/shorts/VkIGLo6KDUQ

I Wants Treats

It was very difficult for me to combine jazz and dubstep to work together, but I think I got it.  This is all original there are no samples.  The trick was to use some big band jazz style melodies that are more syncopated, which works with the syncopated dubstep, and then occasionally I can launch into a smooth jazz legato solo with some dubstep background.  I also find a latin jazz supporting bass line to be able to carry the song through to the next concept. Tiny flute section at end.

Dub Jazz

The Dubtime Rag

I decided to write this song based on waiting to get my car inspected for 3 hours on a Saturday.  TE OP-1 keyboard, lots of Audacity filters, overall echo, perfect stretch fade out at the end.

Waiting Room

Heavy Metal Dubstep with a calm Acoustic ending.  One interesting instrument used in this was a box of cat treats.  Lots of TE OP-1 Field keyboard and some voice modulation.  Mostly "Mother" filter through vocoder (like for the acoustic part).  I haven't been able to record my cat making any new sounds lately, so I just meowed myself for most of this, and I'm the one making the noise that cats make when they see a fly.  It's also just me hissing... no animals were harmed in the creation of this song.  Oh yeah, Audacity filters.

If you are in the mood for some more cat songs, here is a blues video of me and my cat:

(Some of my unfiltered voice singing in background)

Little Bitty Kitty

Educational song about the Periodic Table Of Elements.  Starts out with some hiphop and dubstep, then transitions into progressive trance.

This is the REAL list of periodic elements, by atomic number (so it goes into the lanthanides and actinides properly).  Also has a list of the families of elements, and a summary of what the human body consists of.

Started this track out on my TE OP-1 Field with a very over-modulated organ noise, then added many more layers and some vox of me growling and laughing.  Lots of post production edits and filters in audacity... more than usual.

Evil Organ Grinder

So this is an avant-garde dubstep song.  I began with TEOP1 and intentionally tried to be slightly offbeat and a bit random and to drag it out, then get it all to come together and pull out a primary melody with an electronic lead ("dimension" instrument on TEOP1) with a few piano sections ("pianistic" instrument on TEOP-1) and add in dub bass.  I went through 2 cycles of adding it to the 4-track on TEOP1, copying it out from COM to laptop, filtering in Audacity, copied it back, added more layers, then back to laptop again.  Normalized to -14dB with -1dB soft limit.  This song represents how I felt in the middle of the night at 3am while soldering random circuits for a supercapacitor experiment I was doing, and likely breathing in too much of the lead solder fumes.

Late Night Garage Experiments

For reasons unknown but time will tell...
Multi-instrumentalist, all types of music, all types of methods.
Occasional collaborations with other artists.
Sometimes I post the sheet music if it's piano.
Lately, my favorite instrument is a TE OP-1 Field keyboard.
