So here's a song which was conceived, birthed and shared with the world today under my new pseudonym, Rose-Ivy. Take a listen, and Happy New Year.

Do It For The Fight

New track by Rose-Ivy. This is the first track to use a more electronic beat. Samples were taken of random household objects and warped to create the beats, and all guitar is from my telecaster.

SimCity

I made myself a microphone out of an old ceiling speaker to teach my students how it works. It's designed to be a subkick on drums, but it's kinda got a nice vintage mic sound too. 

John The Revelator

For one of my Diploma classes I needed to give an example of creative sound design. I felt like my previous students had the skills, but not the creative variety. 
I wanted to give them some ideas, so to start, I listened through to a vocal audio recording of a man talking about the human ear. 
I noticed he said the word ear in an interesting way so I tried to see what effects I could create out of this simple word.
Through time stretching, EQ, compression, reverb, delays, flangers and distortion. I was able to create the following effects  (well... sort of) which you can hear (in order) in the clip attached.

- Haunting SFX
- Bang 

- Motor

- Piano

- Kick drum

- Hi hat

- Beat comprised of kick, hi hat and piano samples

and finally

- The original word ear.

Ear Sample

After just setting up a new studio space in my shed, before sound proofing or any treatment, this is is what Hospital Beds by Cold War Kids sounds like*. Ridiculously rough, but I just had to record something...

*Mind the tree branches scraping on the roof throughout.

Santa Baby (Eartha Kit Cover)

I was bored, so I made an acoustic cover of Nicki Minaj's song Starships. I heard it for the first time the other day and was... shocked to say the least, so here's my version.
