Title: Slowest
Artist: Noggin
Album: Classic Trash
Date: 2001
Here’s another slow and somber one for yall. This was another experiment to get really clean sounds out of buzz…but of course a damn amen break had to make its way back in there to dirty things up a bit.
All buzz.

Title: That Old Orange Guitar
Artist: Noggin
Album: Sober October (demo)
Date: 2010
This a track I produced using nothing but a recently (and very diy) rigged-up-with-a-pickup parlor guitar (thanks Chuck). This is actually the first guitar I ever had, and I have since come to like it’s particular sound, so I decided to put to use a piezo I had lying around. Thanks Tom for helping out in the shed as we rigged this thing up. There might be some grounding issues and I might have to sometimes run a bare wire from the sleeve of the plug to the metal part of the guitar, but it works.
Anyway, here’s one to think on on this reflective day.

Title: The World As You Know It (demo 03)
Artist: Freddy Sanchez
Album: Acoustic Translations
Date: 2008
When I moved back to Texas from California, Freddy and I went on a musical madness fest. We played every open mic, we jammed the far corners of BCS, we moved magnets and turned them into binary data. He really wanted to record a set of demos to hand out, and I wanted to help out. With the help of his acoustically beautiful (though not sound proof) jam room, and some nice matched mics, we recorded a good few hours worth of material he had just been wanting to get out for a while. This is one of my favorites. More to come, for sure.
Freddy if you can, leave the name of this piece in the comments.
