"Momentation" by Brad Dunbar

"2008 Restart 2" by Paul Shimmons

Hallowed Leaves is a piece I created for the 2015 iPad Musician halloween Contest. The bed tracks are all from parts I have played into the app "Samplr"...The sound of leaves were tracked to the tempo. Backing vocal tracks are from my own sampled voice, main vocal and guitar tracked with an Apogee Mic and Jam. FX used were Flux, AUFX Dub, Space, and Push...The bass is iFretless, and the drums were also samples from a groove I like to play a lot! The track is obviously a meditation on the nature of being haunted by...what else...dead things...


Hallowed Leaves

Turkey Plucking Xmas

A meditation on Christmas in my Home Town, Trail B.C., which I missed going home to for Christmas for the first time in my life last year. For me, Christmas will always mean my little town, and my family, and being blessed with such a fantastic connection to family, nature, and the elements there. When it snows at Christmas there, it is magic.

This track was recorded entirely on an iPad using only iOS Instruments other than vocals and acoustic guitar, also recorded directly on the device using an Apogee Mic. Sonokinetic bells, Virsyn Poseidon, Korg iM1, apesoft iVCS3, Samplr for recording "Haunted Chamber Quartet" consisting of my vocals, my cheap cello, my Mom's old piano doing the hard tack bits in the weird intro (I call that Piano "the Solheim"...for Nora, my Angel), Blue Mangoo iFretless Bass and Brass, Korg Module (solo bits on the tiny keyboard, Coda Section Oxygen 49), Borderlands Granular for the cold wind/ambient effect, and my Taylor 214e Acoustic Guitar at the end...

Mainly electronic musician based near London, UK. Having worked with PC and hardware set-ups for over 15 years, I've now switched exclusively to iPad for all production. I have released music as sickmoth, i have a box and now The Ordinary Pigs. Collaborative projects over the years have included Project Emotronic, Aural Lab, kh-huh, Futopia, Dysphere and Electrip. In my other guise as a drummer I've played in indie and rock bands for over 20 years. I also noodle on guitar, bass and keyboards and generally play around with anything musical I can get my hands on. My music is never made to genre because I do not like or acknowledge genres. They are stupid, pointlessly restrictive and bad for music. That is all.
