26.06.11 - DAY 177 - Status Update

Listen (and/or buy) now on Bandcamp

Piano piece in 3/4 today. Capturing a mood of reflection and sadness, or resolution fighting with regret, perhaps. You might notice that SADFAY songs on a Sunday are usually a bit melancholy. This week is no different!

Enjoy

Cheers ^_^

20.06.11 - DAY 171 - Sweet Song Don't Fail Me

Listen (and/or buy) now on Bandcamp

A big string pad and big chords, to reflect how I feel. Some sombre over-processed vocals, in reference to the struggle for clear communication. A slow song to soothe, or to reflect the need for a good night's sleep.

Enjoy

Cheers ^_^

Listen (and/or buy) now on Bandcamp

Today's track plays with a variety of percussion samples and some moody strings. I kept this track a slow builder and padded out with some squelchy synth action for added atmosphere. It's something that would hopefully sit well in a computer game or a movie soundtrack, perhaps something set in a jungle, with machines... Or something.

Enjoy

Cheers ^_^

18.04.11 - DAY 108 - Marathon 2930

Listen (and/or buy) now on Bandcamp

Spacey, trippy, moody, synthy, bleepy and other adjectives-y... Just lots of Reason synths put through lots of effects plugins and occasionally resampled and mucked about with in Ableton.

Enjoy

Cheers ^_^

16.04.11 - DAY 106 - Epic Drama Finale

Listen (and/or buy) now on Bandcamp

This is sort of an attempt at making something "film score-y". It's big and epic and there is lots of reverb! It's been constructed entirely out of my voice recordings, except for the huge boomy bass sound at the very start and end (which is a drum loop put through FFT stretching stuff + effects). This is another piece where, when I started, I had no idea what I'd come up with. I am quite pleased with where the creative journey ended.

Enjoy

Cheers ^_^

19.03.11 - DAY 78 - He Done His Best

Listen (and/or buy) now on Bandcamp

A short piece, piano and voice. In terms of length, instrumentation and lyrics, I feel less is more.

Enjoy

Cheers ^_^

14.03.11 - DAY 73 - Chanson de Meh

Listen (and/or buy) now on Bandcamp

Today I'm not particularly feeling it. I wanted to get this done and dusted so I could get on with other things to be frank. I think the general theme and ideas are cool but I don't think I've realised it to it's full potential maybe... Ah well.

Enjoy

Cheers ^_^

06.03.11 - Some Pretty Things

Listen (and/or buy) now on Bandcamp

Today's track is a little bit more structured than recent uploads. And maybe it's even more "musical" in the sense that it has plenty of melodic/harmonic content. It's fairly dramatic too. Quite pleased with this one.

Enjoy

Cheers ^_^

The story of Laika continues...

Space. The final frontier. But is it right to send a man into that unknown void?

Enjoy
