"Secret Skyway" [mp3 removed]
Before garageband there were garage bands.
Trance loop (effected and not) running under "live" MIDI-triggered analog beats (some effected but most not).
"Digital Wrongs Management" [mp3 moved to Bandcamp]
Took "Broomlike (Remix)," subtracted the bass line and added some new percussion parts. A MIDI pattern is triggering a commercial software drum kit as well as an analog rhythm box. In the latter some of the beats are getting live effects treatment using an insert cable to a laptop running Reaktor as a standalone plugin host.
Update: A couple of slight tweaks to remove bad rubs between sounds.
"Broomlike (Remix)" [mp3 removed]
My speakers don't like all the bass on this one (computer speakers will lose some of it). The piece is a little noisy and strange--still thinking about it.
Update: Posted the first remix I did of this tune and took down Version 2; changed the title of this post to reflect the substitution. The first version has more going on--an additional rhythm track. Still thinking about this. Usually this is the point where I add a melody that either overwhelms, pulls the tune together, or both. Am trying to break the pattern.
