lukestark (Synth Seeker)

This is all Nord Lead A1 and an ableton simpler for rhythm. Just a quick sketch to test out some M4L software I wrote. ;)

Saturday morning and channeling old "Switched On Bach" a bit with some modern synth noises.

Proof that I can make music in the spaces between "things I need to get done today". This (for example) was done between walking the dog and taking a shower. ;) #4 in the journey to #1000 Comments, feedback and questions to https://www.facebook.com/lukestarkmusic/ Backstory: Every artist has one thousand bad stories inside them hiding the great ones.

Another practice session from today. This is just a quickly recorded bass and melody, which is then manipulated with timing, repeats and effects. A very simple drum track is used. Just making some bad art to get it out of my system. :)

I've started to just record/stream my practice sessions (using the name format P-day.month.year) and try to get one in every day. Some I upload here if they are interesting. Everything is one take and unedited.

My friend George wrote this a couple weeks ago for his upcoming wedding and after being recorded by our mutual friend Greg (these are the guys from the shanty-band) they asked me to add a bassline. So this is us playing again. I put a copy here for my Mom. I don't think George will mind. Happy Mother's Day!

An excerpt from my performance at IDEALAB: Astral Chill...this is a live performance using a couple drone machines, some ambient recordings and about eight synths each used in turn and looped in sixty second intervals.
