Some great songs from some Fantastic Artist's/Bands and a few of my own.

AB Playlist 037 Part 2

Things I worked on primarily in 2018, usually working with my iPad, plus an el cheapo Casio as main controller keyboard (the speakers are trash, but who uses those anyway - I actually like the light synth/organ action of the board).  Thus, the silly word play on the name of a constellation.

(there were other good ones too, and I deliberately avoided listing tracks here that were similar to my own)

Cat's Dead (originally by Espen Kraft)

I was going to do something else, but then I held down a blues patten on the arpeggiator on the Akai mini, and the background came out, and I was like "Oh yeah, that's it!"

Pigs on the March was totally gonna be something else, and now if I ever finish *that*, I gotta make up another name.  Life is unfair.

Now march, you pigs!

Pigs On The March -  8/25/2018 jam session

Sometimes, clarify take a while to return, or to come at all.

What's In My Tea  - 10/22/2018 jam session

For the ones you love...

No Time For Watching Clocks

Please don't run so fast
Life is long
Don't fall on the broken glass
Our love is a promise
A lifelong souvenir
Once given not forgotten
None shall disappear

You don't need nobody 
To say who you are
You are what you are
You're a shining star

Some people love
And some people judge
And some they are full of it
Others want to hide 
Too scared to decide
Paralyzed they make a fool of it

I'll take my chances on the way
You'll find if you go astray
There is nothing in this world 
You need fear from anyone
Life is long
Life is you

Boomtown
Meltdown
Build you up to let you down 
I can break 
No mistake
Want to be a salad plate?

Get on up 
Buttercup 
Guess you better suck it up
Tough luck
Be the rock
Aint no time for watching clocks

Some people love
And some people judge
And some they are full of it
Others want to hide 
Too scared to decide
Paralyzed they live their life in fear

There is something in this world 
To be for everyone
Life is long 
Life is you

THERE'S SOMEDAY'S IN YOUR LIFE
YOU WANNA RUN AWAY AND HIDE
THE FALLING SKY IS UPON YOU

I'M TRAVELING IN A LONELY RIDE
SOMETHINGS GONNA MAKE ME CRY
I WISH A LITTLE LONGER I HAD YOU

I CAN HEAR A FALLING STAR
IT MAKE'S ME WONDER WHERE YOU ARE
AND THE WISH IS ALL FOR YOU

ALL THE BETTER DAY'S AHEAD
THE CLEARING SKY IT SAYS
EVERY SINGLE DAY IS ALL SO NEW

(chorus)
HAS SOMEONE EVER MADE A WISH FOR YOU
HAS SOMEONE EVER MADE A DAY BRAND NEW
ANYBODY TAKE YOUR HAND
TO A PROMISE LAND
THEN THE WISH IS ALL FOR YOU

EVERYTHING IS MADE FROM LOVE
EVERYONE DESERVES JUST ONCE
THE WISH INSIDE THAT COMES FROM YOU

I CAN HEAR A FALLING STAR
IT MAKE'S ME WONDER WHERE YOU ARE
AND THE WISH IS ALL FOR
(break)

IT'S NEVER TO LATE TO START
SOMETHING THAT YOU'VE NEVER HAD
THE WISH INSIDE THAT COMES FROM YOU

(chorus)
HAS SOMEONE EVER MADE A WISH FOR YOU
HAS SOMEONE EVER MADE A DAY BRAND NEW
ANYBODY TAKE YOUR HAND
TO A PROMISE LAND
THEN THE WISH IS ALL FOR YOU

Please enjoy my latest album. This is a bit of a return to analogue synthesis with the exception of the wonderful Op-Z!

Enjoy, Peace - Reinhard

Und Ewig Dreht Sich Der Kreisel. 

Zum Laufen Gebracht.

Interglacial - a warm time in the middle of an ice age.

Just cuz.

This was a bit I threw together on my iPad and Casio for the local open mic night.  Yeah, the recording was just the mic on my phone, so there's only so much you can do to clean up the sound in this environment.

Interglacial - improv for open mic on Jan 11

Our version of this undying Beatles classic. Thank you for having me Alfonso <3

Krissi Treganna & Alfonso Llorente Sardi -YOU´VE GOT TO HIDE YOUR LOVE AWAY

"Release the Kraken" ft David Hannah on guitar

A train wreck I should have polished more :-)

Anyway, there were some effects on this I liked, but ran out of patience to integrate it better.

80s gear emulations hosted and "mastered" in BeatMaker on my iPad, cuz, why not?

Casio drum patterns -> Ruismaker (808 emulation) -- no MIDI sync in BeatMaker, so timing drifts - bug, or feature???

Akai mini with CC knobs -> Lorentz (Juno or other analog emulation).

Casio keys -> KQ Dixie (DX7 emulation).

Sundry audio effects also hosted in BeatMaker.

Dr Twerkinstein's Monster - jam experiment gone wrong (kill it with fire!), March 2

A hobbyist electronic musician.

I'm trying to do some live jam capture stuff lately, but I mostly do synth editing and mixing - downloaded MIDI files with a little bit of tweaking; little to no "playing".  See links on songs.

Back in the 80s, I hung out in the music department quite a bit, and did a couple terms as a college station DJ, when I wasn't working on my computer degree (the day job which I’m not quitting).

I love the community on SoundCloud.  E.g. - people say horrible things to each other on places like YouTube, but here, people just quietly pass over things they don't like, and tell you about what they do.  Thanks, all!

Finally, FWIW, I usually try to put things I have "liked" through the rotation during my morning walk or commute for a few weeks before deciding to repost them.  I hope any visitors here enjoy the eclectic mix of things I have reposted, as well as (hopefully) some of my tracks.
