March 1st, 2010Another fine example of the glammy nonsense I wrote in the 90s. Hey, if Marc Bolan didn’t have to make sense, why should I? This one was recorded February 26-28, 2010.

The Fall
March 1st, 2010This song was written in the late 80s. A rather rambling version of it was my first ever digital recording in 1999, but this one was all done from scratch on my new MacBook rig, over the course of February 2010.

New stuff!
December 23rd, 2009
Stuff-stuff, that is. I got myself a brand new MacBook, loaded with Logic Express and Superior Drummer. It’s the bomb. VST drums are the future. Now I no longer have any excuse for not recording more songs more often.
Aegis Sonix: An Early Software Synth

Hours and hours of fun. Late eighties, early nineties. Pretyy good sounding stuff for what it was.
Wurlitzer Sideman
October 27th, 2009The Wurlitzer Sideman was the first electronic drum machine ever produced (if you don’t count tape loops), sold as a Wurlitzer organ accessory beginning in 1959. It’s got some fantastically great sounds and the ’sequencer’ is actually a wheel covered in electronic contact points, with each point being a trigger.

Here is the “punked” version of Matthew Rose‘s “I Have A Car”. You may be familiar with the original recording I did back in 1999. I recorded this version back in November 2008 as a test of my (then) brand-new Roland TD-3 drums — long since upgraded to a TD-4. I actually rather like the sound of this snare drum on the TD-3. I haven’t been able to find anything that punchy on the TD-4.
Other instruments: Gretsch Electromatic, Fender Jazz. Recorded on the Zoom H4, mixed in Garageband.
