Noggin – Pictures of Clouds (an homage)

Title: Pictures of Clouds
Artist: Noggin
Album: Side B
Date: 2009

This is an homage track to the Pictures of Clouds releases, technically by Noggin. Shortly after the POC sessions, I still had the studio set up very POC-ish and so I got to work making some new tracks. This one came out of running the mpc into the mixer with a feedback channel set to my secret weapon.
This song has even been played live a couple times, once at the very mellow, very rainy DOS proto-ambient show, and once more shortly thereafter at Ike’s in Wimberley.
Shout out to Robby Neighbor.

Unofficial Pictures of Clouds release…recorded to cassette one morning in the RedHouse studio in Anacortes with only half the band (that’d be me). I do believe it’s pretty much straight off the MS2000. I love the boing effect of the notes gliding from hi to low. I’m back in Anacortes for a couple of days so loading yall up with the Anacortes sessions seems appropriate.
This one is dedicated to those who departed in 2010.

Title: Smile Song
Artist: Noggin + Blau
Album: Buzz Exports
Date: 2011

Here’s one I played a lot with my homey Karl. We would generally open with this one, the lyrics being nothing but a well timed, big smile from both of us. Worked as a pretty good dirty jam to just get the crowd funked up enough to know where things were heading. This is an early demo I made of this running through a bit of rack fx courtesy the studio quad. This one is labeled Pictures of Clouds cause that’s the tape it came from.
I walked outside yesterday and Mr. Blau was right there. Good times!

Here’s some house jam I recorded to cassette tape one night in Anacortes with the MS-2000 hooked up. That is pretty neat little synth. The one I got for dirt cheap from the pawn shop has been mounted into what looks like was once a amp head. So it’s a self contained unit with a carrying handle now, instead of a rackless-rack synth. Fits the amp head perfectly, props to the person who did the modification.

Pizza Party Demos Side B

Pizza Party – Another pause for Herb

Title: Another Pause for Herb
Artist: Pizza Party ft. DJ Noggin
Album: Side B
Release Date: 2010

From the Pizza Party sessions.
This is an impromptu beat juggle that happened during a Pizza Party recording session. I dedicated an entire wall to Herb Alpert in my last house, and so we had tons of these records floating around, and doubles of many of them. This track is appropriate because I just reinstated the Herb Alpert wall at my new house.
For those that don’t know, beat juggling is where you have two copies of the same record on both of your turntables. You cue them both up at the same point, start one, then at the end of your ‘loop’, start the other. While that is happening, you silence the other one, and rewind it. Do this back and forth and you can keep this loop going for infinity. It gets tricky, especially if your records are old and beat up and prone to skip (guess what, my Herb Alpert records, culled from trashbins and garage sale barrel-bottoms, are not in the best shape).
