Here
are a few short samples taken from within longer pieces. Fidelity has been lowered
to ensure they stream on dialup connections. They often
make more sense within a longer context, but I've selected them to show the range
of tonalities and moods.
Some are played live, others are pieces dropped onto the computer using Acid
Pro (now made way for Ableton Live) And Audition to (re)arrange and (re)treat
the various sounds. Ableton is the most wonderful software for the way I
work; I can just drag things to where I want, add visual gradients for pan, fx
level & so forth. VST plugins are a permenant source of inspiration. There
are mp3 samples of each track from "one" on
it's own page.
Chain Tape Collective
The CT group (see links) set each other projects with tight definitions, but within those limits, musicians can submit whatever they like. There is no pressure to be "commercial and I find their philosophy highly inspiring. Here are my tracks, which can be downloaded free from their site.
