Arise

You might recognise this as the theme to Salad Fingers 10 - it is also the intro to my new album, which isn't quite finished and hasn't got a name yet, and neither have you. Downloads are not available yet because I think I might still tweak this a bit before putting it out.

Birthweek

Cut from track from Mo*Te/Xtematic-Grey Landscape split tape 

Interface Pain

mixing field recordings with analog synthsounds and some NI softwaresynthesizers/fx stuff, mostly in raintime...with some older self created rhythm patterns, washed by raindrops...while collecting dead spiders...     

Regenpeitsche

A mixture of dial-up and sea noises was not a good idea.

Ocean

I always find my self unconsciously chanting 4 syllable phrases in the rhythm of Jungle Boogie by Kool and the Gang.  "Caesar Salad" is a common one.  So, I recorded and looped this phrase for that reason.  You can also hear an effected, and phased in the same way, sample of the horns from Jungle Boogie in there.  I just snipped one sample slightly shorter than the other and looped them the way Reich used to do.  Took some experimenting to snip the right amount.  The only other effects I used were reverb, some echo on the horns, compression, EQ, and a little bit of phaser (faded in gradually)on the vox.
