Description: Tony, Paul, Dan made noise on 4 noise-stations, probably? It's been a while since this session. Finally getting around to uploading. Enjoy.

Synth Band Dot Com (synthband.com) is an improvisational multi-instrumentalist sound collective. We either meet in-person and hastily record direct to stereo on a JamHub or sometimes go remote virtualtime using Jamtaba and NINJAM.  Fun stuff. 

Synth Band Dot Com’s improvisational sounds are predicated upon these premises: We don’t discuss sounds we’re about to make. Performers switch instruments between most tracks/sessions. Sometimes even in the middle of the session. (More recent uploads combine all sessions from an evening, omitting interstitial silence.)

A Synth Band Dot Com track from the 20180816 sessions was featured in SOV anthology film: Zombarella's House of Whorrors.


Enjoy.

20211106 - Tom - Dan - Mike - Todd

An excerpt from the synthband.com jam known as 20211212. I’m attempting to mix this section better for eventual use on a friend’s biking YT channel - but I'm a halfass producer. Let me know if you have any mix feedback. Bass too high? Bass to low? I’m near clueless.

mixing genres apr 8 mix

Tony and Dan were making some noise. Andy stopped by randomly. Recorded direct to stereo on the Jamhub. I.e. no mixing/producing. It is what it is.

Andy on drums first, then Tony, then Dan.
We also took turns on the two noise stations and the Hydrasynth.
Good times. Weird noises.

20230805 - Andy - Tony - Dan

Riffing on some vocal melodies and lyrics for Paul’s excellent instrumental song. ￼…wherein our novice producer vaguely learns compression. Sorta.

I’d like to finish this someday. Alas, it’s not mine. I heard Whiler play this live and was inspired. 

Hear the full instrumental track here:

Working lyrics:

Faded all away
What is all of this covfefe? 
I was a schmaltzy sonovabitch
Into the coasting heart again
If I wasn’t so vain we’d go starts to finish
Universe of idiots
Nothing so on the nose
Nothing so obvious, anyway
Involuntary prisoners of architecture
A posh assemblage from anybody’s eye
Everybody’s guilty of something
Dilettante, whatchyoo want?
Feeling artsy fartsy
So much crap I don’t want to see
Their algorithm doesn’t understand me
Pish and likewise tush
Where for the backwards man?
Looking at me. Looking at me.
This ruffian. Dystopian. Dystopian. 
[insert obtuse lyrics here]
Not just a dream
A time capsule of regret and ignorance

Didn't start trying to live-mix the recording a bit until a way's in, but It still sounds fun at the beginning when you can't hear any drums/bass. ;)

Dan Dreifort's current bands: Synth Band Dot Com and Indelible Beancurd run the gamut from golden crap to things slightly crappier than crap. He uploads noises here for his bandmates to hear. Or not. You? You can hear too. Thanks for listening. Check the links for older, even crappier music from Dan.
