74in74/Day3

Today I set up my guitar and pedals after two and half months of them waiting in their case and boxes, and I came up with this...

74in74/Day6 (Work in Progress)

Today, I had to choose a tempo, so I used my spreadsheet random number generator and ended with 112bpm. So here you go; a song in 112bpm and a whole lot of odd time signatures and polyrhythms.

74in74/Day9 (Work in Progress)

Today, I had to focus on one element of the song and build from there. Naturally, I chose the guitar and the outcome is a indie track in the making.

74in74/Day17 (Work in Progress)

Today I had to approach a genre that I am completely unfamiliar with, so I decided to try my hand at making a hip hop beat using samples from Rammstein, Victor Wooten, Ray Noble, Boswell Sisters and Radiohead. Now it sounds nothing like hip hop, but it's...erm...something.
Let me know what you think it sounds like!
I run through all the sample used here: http://youtu.be/J_Kybq760BI

74in74/Day19

I made a song out of a couple of guitars recordings, a recording of the reverb in the Notre Dame cathedral and some scraps from old projects that never reached fruition,

74in74/Day24

Today I went back to yesterday's track and tried to add depth to it. Some EQing, compression, adjusting sends and returns and panning and now it sounds like this.

74in74/Day25

Today was all about transitions, so I added a bass line and worked with the drums a bit from the track I recorded on Day 10 and here's what it sounds like

74in74/Day 31

New album out: Lucciole, available here on a "pay what you want basis": http://piearesquared.bandcamp.com

My second full length, "Lucciole", is the outcome of my "74 in 74" project (the link is in the header), where I covered all 74 strategies in Dennis DeSantis' "Making Music". It is also the culmination of everything that makes Pie Are Squared what at is. 

Elements of every single EP or LP that I've released thus far can be heard on this along with new facets of my music that hadn't been touched upon before. It's equal parts glitch, ambient, noise, drone and rock and yet is probably my most accessible album to date.
