Liable Mutt

OK, I have named the mini album "Liable mutt".
Why?......
It's an anagram for "Album Title".
All the track names are anagrams too.
Here's the track list:

1. Cake Torn [anagram for "Track one"]
2. Watt Cork [anagram for "Track two"]
3. Kart Etcher [anagram for "Track three"]
4. Croak Turf [anagram for "Track four"]
5. If Rack Vet [anagram for "Track five"]
6. Sax Trick [anagram for "Track six"]
7. Canker vest [anagram for "Track seven"]
......You get the picture.....

Dave is doing me some artwork for the album and should be ready soon so when I have it the tracks will be availible for free download on this blog.




The only instruments used were the Roland MC-303, F.A.T FB383 and Korg microkorg.
I also used Boss MD-2 and DS2 distortion pedals and a Korg Mini-KP for reverb.

Minimal album / other news

OK, today I layed down the second minimal track that will be on the forth coming minimal album.
I have yet to think up names for all the tracks or the album itself but I'm looking for something unusual.
I am only using sounds from the FB383, MC303 and Korg microkorg. So far the effects I have used are the Korg Mini KP and the Boss MD2 and I am using my Fostex D-80 to record everything.
There will be no mastering and no over mixing on this album as I want the sounds to be raw and the feel of the album to be quite rough.
My influences for this album include early 808 state, plasikman, aphex twin and venetian snares [among others]
When the tracks are done they will be uploaded to soundcloud and will be freely available to download.

In other news, I've just have my 5th tattoo done. Its on the lower part of my right leg and its a group of musical notes. Here's A picture.

The New track is called "ThRREeOh!32154865321=]" (I don't really know why). And it is available to download for free from Soundcloud (bellow) or HERE

Instrumentation/Gear used.

Drums/percussion - Roland Mc-303
Piano - Roland Mc-303
303 Bass - FAT Freebass FB383 (TB-303 clone)
Simple raw pad - Korg Microkorg
Extra synth hit - Reason NN-XT (Juno 60 multisample)
Synth drone patch - Reason NN-XT(Juno 60 multisample)
Vocal stutters - Alphebet samples!!?!?






The Mc-303, FB383 and Microkorg were originally recorded using a Zoom MRS-4b Multitrack and then imported into Propellerheads Reason using the NN-XT sampler. Then I added the extra parts to the track (Juno 60 parts & the vocal stutters).

The FB383 part Is run through the Scream distortion and the piano part is run through the DDL-1 delay (both in reason)



When I was happy with the track I did a bit of mixing and exported it.

Waldorf PPG wave and Arturia Moog modular

In the last post I posted some audio from the Arturia Moog Modular. The audio clip was mostly drones and scifi noises so I thought that I would upload something a little more musical.

Along with the Moog I used a Pad sound from Waldorfs softwear version of the classic PPG wave digital synth.









The 909 kick drum is coming from a freeware rompler from DSK called mini DRUMZ 2.
Other than that there is no other plug-ins/instruments/effects used.
Everything is sequenced using Samplitude 10 LE.

The audio track is free to download from soundcloud

Arturia Moog Modular [mess around]

I was messing around with the Moog Modular software synth by Arturia and thought i might as well post some audio from it.






The audio file is free to download from Soundcloud.

Moog Modular by synthersizer-sounds

This is just me messing around with the synth,
As you can probably tell I'm not that familiar with modular synths, as the demo is just mainly noisy, bleeping, messy sci-fi sounds.

The recording quality isn't brilliant as some points in the track go suddenly loud and sometimes clip/distort [The worst is at 3:56 and 5:12].
The synth its self has an amazing sound to it, just wish i could own the real thing.

Once i get used to using the modular I hope to upload more stuff using it, something more musical and easyer to listen to.
