Hardware/Software Combos

Where's the Princess of Mars?

Different strange experiments done in the search for spacerock as a goal, but which richochets off at a weird tangent into another dimension... Wild.

Rock surveys. Space geology trials

I was trying for straightforward rock when the Martian King ordered me to send clones to perform    
at a gathering in his Palace. I accidently sent a couple or more of disturbed clones, containing largely the part of my mind I had tried to contain, the mad joker of serious strangeness. Luckily he or it behaved rather properly, only adding some strangeness to the mix. I(t')s all a big joke?

*"New" version. Missing stem restored and levels adjusted some

I dug out my Access Virus kB from a time capsule, underneath a lot of debris. I was reinfekted momentarily. So I made this. A symbiosis of hardware, guitar and synth, and a lot of software effects and a virtual drumbox.

It was a challenge to temper(mix) this wild thing, but the metal virus induced a strange kind of trance for over 7 minutes. The vistas was mind staggering.

New mix up 20.09.2013

Hope you enjoy, I did making it at least.

Recorded the sound of a strange percolator I stumbled upon in the Martian Palace, when looking for a secret exit route. It's a labyrinthine building. Grown like a plant, but a plant with a plan.
It's corridors shifting in time.

This perculator got it's power from piezoelectric cells placed under the dancefloors. Brilliant. 
The coffee it produced was strong enough to break on through the veil of drowsiness brought on by the fumes inside the palace. 

I must away...

This was made with a Korg SAS-20 and a whole lot of effects.

All the things the Martian Sorceress had heard as she had been following my strange journey on Mars, through her looking glass, made her mind overload and as she lay in a feverish dream it all coalesced into something new. There's some intent staring back from the chaos. Her mind became a portal from beyond, reflecting some twisted and contorted mix of music from Earth's twin in it's shadow dimension. The rippling mirror only warps what is reflected. 
This almost overloaded my biological central processing unit as well. Time to sleep. Will I dream or wake screaming for a more efficient thought-to-music device? It is so bizarre what it can pick up.

Stay tuned for more reports from my aural journeys.

One of the VST synths used here's from Dr.Speaker Blower, who have a lot of superb fx and synths for sale. Cheap compared to most commercial developers. Great stuff.

Meditation is too restricted for Farhowl. Maxitation is so much more potent in unlocking new parts of the mind and silencing unwanted processes of the brain. This took off with a rush and a swoosh.

Landed in Øydegard during some heavy rainfall to watch the rainclouds as the sun set. Very nice.

Picture from the following day when the clouds were thinner.
I have found some of my tracks on youtube on different videos and I'm honoured by that, but please let me know if you use my tracks, because I like to see and hear the result. Makes it feel more than a hobby just for my own enjoyment. (You know, to compensate for the GAS:-)
And remember, it's free to use for sampling, edit/remix, fixing, tweaking and I can send stems and such if anyone is interested. Attribution in my case means I want to hear the result :-)

Regarding the new mix, I forgot to compare the two mixes. Does it rumble a bit or is that a good thing? I mixed half asleep. Now to sleep...

A Visit To Øydegard One Rainy Night (New mix 21082014)

https://soundcloud.com/robatthepub joined in on the dance through the forests of Orduhr, wherever that may be, but meet we did somehow.
I'm not sure if it's the forest, it's inhabitants that is nanorobotic constructs or both, but that is but a technicality. They sure can dance.

Searched for a garage in time and I think I found one around the seventies. A sealed cold war underground fortress. I managed to jump my spaceship inside and went dancing while exploring this strange garage for my spaceship.

A Garage For My Spaceship

Dry surfing on a Lunar dust bed dragged by my spaceship on autopilot.
An attempt on surf rock. 

Feedback appreciated, as I lack that when using amp simulator ;-)

DR: 13

Surf Is High On The Mare Vaporum

After surfing on the Mare Vaporum I went cruising with the Screamboat Queen. She always has some strange music going in her starboat.

Layered improvisation with bass guitar and several virtual synths.

Cruising With The Screamboat Queen

First attempt to use my Digitech GNX3000 with my microKorg. . A VST of a regular drum/rhythmbox supply the perc. 

Title influenced by Peter F Hamilton's Pandora's star from the Commonwealth saga. A must-read for any science fiction fan.

Investigating Dark Fortress generator (2013 mix)

First recorded flight with the Korg SAS-20. Heavily laden with effects. 

The Korg is a gift from http://soundcloud.com/kev7bx

Korg SAS-20 was the first Korg keyboard with a chord recognition computer onboard. It dates from 1983 and weighs 11kg. Solid piece of equipment.

Tumbling through the escalator tubes of the Martian Palace one hear a cacophony of sounds from differents floors. Confusing.

Casio and a whole lotta fx.

The Hypnotic Gravity Stair of the Martian Palace

Solitary manipulator of soundproducing stuff. Mostly improvising in some way or many. 

You're free to download and use this music as you please. Sample,mix, fix or mangle it into unrecognisableness, but I want to hear the result. That's the only catch.
Can send you stems etc if wanted... 

Interested in collaborations/remixing/stuff.
Give feedback and hints as you see fit. Peer review is important in this kind of endeavour. I have no charts for these territories, no boundaries are in view, no limits.

Mixed with and mostly for headphones, not sure how it'll sound on sound systems. For some tracks it's advisable to turn the sound up, but some tracks are quite loud. I don't know what I'm doing half(or more of) the time.
Time is elusive and opportunities for spending time on my music comes and goes fast. An hour here and two hours there...I need coffee...
