It's been a bit. Kids birthdays. Family vacations. Had to say goodbye to my cat of 18 years. Blew up some audio gear on Friday, but I got set back up enough to make this track on Sunday. It's most Dreadbox gear, and my wonky vocal chain sequenced/recorded by a Push 3. 2026 CC Attribution Noncommercial (BY-NC)

I think about 30 seconds of this will probably tip anyone off that I've been playing the (really scary) new Silent Hill. I loved SH f and this new one is set in Scotland, with so many cute environmental touches.. anyway.. music.. I had also planned to do something a bit simpler as I've had a manic week at work, and this came together, well, half of it, the first few notes were just mashe...

rhythms of life . . . . . my wife and i had a special appointment this past friday and i got to record our baby's(!) heartbeat :heart: so this week i used that as the base for nearly everything. natural 156bpm. sent the audio to some other tracks to trigger audio effects, used a max4live audio-to-midi devic to trigger some midi instruments, and sampled the heartbeat to make a kick and click,...

is there somewhere quiet i can rest? somewhere quiet? in my dreams › do you dream in sound?‹ do you dream in sound? i had the realization when working on this track that i generally dream in silence i have had memorable dreams like being on stage with steven tyler singing "dream on" to me etc. but my dreams are mostly non verbal but very visual - how do all of you dream WB fr...

Ugh... this was WAY too ambitious for the time I allowed... I'm a bit underwhelmed with how this one turned out, partly from running out of time, partly from hearing ideas in my head that I didn't really know how to create the sound/effect for, but at least it's generally in a 'can work on later' state. Sometimes I feel like I've improved with recordings, but then I&#...

An atmospheric synth jam this week. I ran out of time on my original idea. So instead, I plucked some of my low hanging fruits, and did a quick and simple jam. There are a bunch of little crackles here and there. And there are some things I wish I had done differently with the patterns I quickly programmed. Especially in the second half I can hear another lead line over it in my head... But that&#...

So I bought a Turkish Saz-Baglama about a week ago so why not record the first thing Ive ever played on it and foist it on WB? The Saz is microtonal in part and really seems to like phrygian or other lowered 2nd tone scales. This one has a built in piezo pickup so I plugged it into an amp. THen it went nuts. Lots of the noises in this are from me hitting the body and scraping the strings (7 string...

› notes‹ notes Goodness has the first week of year FORTY EIGHT been “fun” for the body. The afibs have been on and off a few times this week which isn’t new.  But somehow I managed to mess up my back after a grocery run Friday morning.  Apparently I don’t know how to bend like a normal person.  Never mind was it heavy or not I can’t even get the bending part down correct...

Whoa, 39 songs. That is much further than I expected. I figured I be out by like week 5. Also a speed trash run, I kinda like the quick decision process. Have an idea and try to get it done.

Produced on the DirtyWave M8 model:02 ___ (Torch XIII) - Ouroboros of the Spirit 2026 CC Attribution Noncommercial No Derivative Works (BY-NC-ND)

I've been sick all week and deep in a brain fog from meds. Only thing I was able to produce this week was misery and this, lets call it an M8 study. It's a single instrument playing one note. I wanted to see how much randomness I could get out of a single FM instrument and it's pretty neat! This is all four operators functioning as a carrier and tables and LFO's modulating them...

Inspired by a silly skit, I wanted to make some cheesy Euro Disco Track, initially... Had most of the required parts, no proper hook though. Then failed with arrangement. As always, no singing (I generally don't, but if the track were where I intended it to be, I might have, just for fun. Given enough time left, that is). Failing with arrangement also means it's shorter than desired and...

More acid music recorded straight to cassette. I turned the tape over to side B this week for recording the two tracks and managed to inadvertently overdub a backwards section from last week's track into the live recording. Fun surprise, eventually realised what was going on and pulled down the offending fader. Embrace the accidents and go with the flow! - Behringer TD-3 -> Danelectro Spri...

Cinematic drum and bass vignette. Not what I originally intended for this week, but it had a mind of it's own. May not be very well mixed! 2026 Copyright All rights reserved

I spent some time today visiting some of my favourite paintings in the National Gallery of Victoria. I had just finished at a very wholesome and meditative hands on sewing workshop, and in a state of awe I found the sense of space and the sound in the gallery to be mesmerising. I took a quick recording to try and capture it. 2026 CC Attribution Noncommercial No Derivative Works (BY-NC-ND)

This week experience overcame creativity. I’m still on a creative dry spell (hence the title), but trudged forward and might have put together one of my favourite creations this year. Spent the whole week trying to find an angle to crack this week’s beat. I started at 120bpm I believe with something really not similar, slowly crept to 110, then 100 and settled around 90bpm for Treacherous weather....

So this is another track with some DadBoy-inspired techniques. For this one, I recorded a few tracks (I think the first arp, the bass and the first lead) double speed and with some added brightness. I then slowed back down the samples to the original speed, did some downsampling, and so on. The first arp and the first lead are from the MicroMonsta 2. I think the bass was just the m8 FM synth, as w...

Between the Sonic Walk event last weekend and the preparation for the release of my new album (and the fact that I have a full time job), I couldn't spend much time this week making new music. But several weeks ago, I started compiling a series of patterns featuring all those samples I got from the free packs offered regularly by Polyend (the so-called Palettes) and I thought I could try to m...
