Had trouble getting off the launch pad this afto' & accidentaly deleted some bits of this, but eventually navigated to the outer fenlands of the inner cosmos again! (no time to go back!) Cherry McSpadden Mountain Dulcimer (needs mics really - but house too noisy), so off the Shatten Dualie piezo via LRBaggs Gig pro. All into ipad via Sonic Port. Drones knocked up in Ondes and TubeSynth. Bass n Flute played in Seline Redux Pro with stylus & some space swirley reverbs flave via AuFx. Happy Christmas Soundclouders & ATB for 2016 :-)

Gaud Bless ye fellow Cosmonauts

Karadji of the World Unite! - Bit of ipad electronica rabble rousing using Fugue Machine app driving Galileo Organ app and Animoog Synth. My own chants into the Headphone clicker mic! through TC Helicon Voice rack app.  Drones & Crystal Bowls with Phase Rings app. Extra reverb flave with AuFX Space & Crystalline. Recorded & Noodled in Multitrack DAW via Audiobus. Bit of delay wind up phasing on Animoog at the start, oh well, next time ;-)

Karadji Fugue

Had a chance to noodle, got some midi flowing round the rig and a first chance to use Logic Pro X. A two track jam unmastered as yet! Track one: Navichord app with a C Minor progression controlling an old Yamaha AN200 for voices and old Emu Orbit 9090 for Beats. Track Two: Gordon Smith GS2 Electric running front n rear Humbuckers through Kingsley Juggler preamp, straight into deck! Spot the bum note, but was first take ;-)

Squandered Illusion

I wired up a few old synths to accompany my guitar! Hopefully Fused some compatible patches! There's an Emu Orbit on Beats, Yam AN200 on Groove,  Alesis Nano on Organ, Emu Protus World on Waves. The chords used were C7, FMaj, GMaj and Adim section ...all scales n chord prog just random flow. An attempt at something Psychedelic! Even the Dog managed to get in on it! Possibly starts to gel towards the end !

Thought we'd give Mother Earth a boost for Christmas as there appears to be a lot of Fake News about!

Mother Earth

Chorus
Our  [Cm] Mother , You give us  [Fm] life

all  [Ab] hallowed, be thy  [Gm] name

Your Earthdom  [Cm] come, your will, be  

[Ab] done, we[Eb] believe in this [Bb] heaven.

Verse 1
Stealing  [Ab] bread, we  [Eb] poison,

the  [Bb] land & the  [Cm] sea.

Verse 2
 [Ab] Teach us all to  [Eb] live as one

with the [Bb] animals and the  [Cm] trees.

Verse 1 & 2 end

(yes) [Ab] lead us not  [Gm] to exploit you 

[Fm] deliver us from (our)  [Eb] greed.




(Spoken Words)

For thou art Our Mother, the power and only glory

now and forever Mother Earth.

Mother Earth feat Jah LIV (fake News Remix)

Straight from the Hal Leonard Book of Irish Favorites for Clarinet! Except I used a EWI4000s wind controller (controlling Magellan App)for a crazy trumpet/trombone thang! Added some Mountain Dulcimer, Acoustic and Electric Guitar lead n backing. Navichord App handled the outboard synths and Patterning App proved helpful in creating a gentle Waltz beat. As usual it all came out rather cosmic, crazy, experimental and strange. Its all leading somewhere...just not sure where yet !  Recorded in Logic and learnt to use some vol automation and binaural panning! Used Nord Beats app to create a didj rhythm using the Emu Orbit! Bagpipes off the Emu Proteus3 World!

Believe Me if all those Endearing Young Charms

I think this one may need returning too , I accidentally left an fx on stereo panning, maybe a bit swirley & annoying, esp in headphones !?...but I'll post it for now! Navichord App handling the chord Prog to outboard Synths; Yam AN200, EMU Orbit & Proteus. Me on EWI (midi wind instrument)into ifretlessSax app , Acoustic and Lead Guitars! Bit of a cosmic drifter....good learning curve for the lead guitar playing! Maybe ambitious at this stage and needs more variety! Was fun noodling in Dorian !

Sanctuary Ostinato

Ambient Guitar track for Chords of Orion Competition - link to Youtube Vid: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9zn4J0wUZkM

Me on my Gordon Smith Electric . Acoustic backing is Acoustic Session Band App on iPad! Big thanks to Gordon Midgley who gave me Whale sound inspiration and Jerry Rockwell who tipped me off about Chords of Orion! All Dissonance and aural beating is intentionally caused by phasing the stereo channels, hopefully to create emotional release! . Swell is controlled by Sonuus Voluum whilst also outputting midi to control the phasing. Pre amp only to deck, is Kingsley Juggler. Delay is Electrix Mo Fx. Reverb is Roland SRV3030 . Stereo laid down in recording...left it raw as seemed OK. Roland was cross blending two channels! The midi phasing is done with a Sonuus Wahoo and careful patch editing to get close to a Humpback Sound ! Thanks for Listening!

Cetus

Bit of a CryoPod Drifter, prob too long...some folk might wanna go deep Space on it! I put the chords on Yamaha Mobile studio for fast build, and to play along to, but when came to record my outboards..no MMC to sync recording track starts into Logic. So for ease I exported the midi into Logic and used the VSi's in Logic. The Vox & Guitar is audio/me. It started as a guitar learning exercise in changing modes whilst holding position. Good for Brain Exercise! Lost in Spaaaace!

BrainDamage (Pink Floyd Cover)CryoPod EP

Bot spoken merge of words by Marylin Whirlwind, from Northern Exposure, with The Zen koan about the Hundred Foot Pole, along the observation that if birds could speak, they in fact, wouldn't be able to fly! Mainly because, words are like boulders, they weigh us down! A chord progression I really like Dm Am Dm BbMaj7 C Dm7 G7 here as a backing for hopefully improving guitar solos, which are the true basis of my endevours! To soar like Gilmour ;-)

Failing Upwards

Noodling about with Graphics and Vibes!
