Title: Arabesque (nogmix)
Artist: Ethan Master of the Hawaiian Ukulele
Album: As Yet Unknown
Date: 2009
From Dwight to a Dude.
More material from the sessions with EMHU out in Palo Alto. I really like this track but never got the name for it. I can’t tell you where this extrapolation and modulation came from, but I dig and I hope you do. This is one for the headphone heads.

Small glitch in the matrix, but we’re back now.
Dwight Yoakam and wobble bass. You could call it a dabble in wobble.

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.

Title: mawL (Live from Stafford)
Artist: Noggin
Album: Sober October
Date: 2009
Once again, giving yall two tracks today so nobody can blame for taking an ‘out’ on a technicality. I posted the demo version of this track earlier this year, and here is the first recorded version. I played this song at Stafford in December as part of the Skull-you-know-what-er show that I also had participated in the year before. Basically, every musician still in town took over this empty bar in a time when the crowds are gone and so we can dominate and do what we do how we do.
The base chords out of this track came from Buzz samples, the drums all MPC, and this version even includes some An1x for fun.
MPC via a Yamaha DMP-7 (LOVE that sound) mixer to the cd recorder at Stafford.
Chuck originally called this one “Walking home”.

Title: Vantonder
Artist: Noggin
Album: As Yet Unknown
Date: 2009
Yea that’s an ESQ-1 tone. Not really effected either, minus of course the insanely compressed reverb.
Originally did this to give to a friend, who never did it anything with it, so it gets named after her. ;] One of my favorites.

Title: Buttjazz Theme
Artist: Jon + Noggin
Album: Beast Mountain Buttjazz Halloween Tape
Date: 2009
Jon and I laid this down in his apartment using two mics. It’s all improv, and actually the first time we had hung out together in a while when we recorded this. What can I say the air was alive. This is to be included on the yet forthcoming Halloween tape.

Title: Under the Mountain, Over the Ocean (live at Stafford)
Artist: Noggin
Album: Live at Stafford
Date: 2009
Another track from the well received Noggin set at the 2nd Stafford Skullf*cker extravaganza. I had just written this song a short while before this, debuted it at the Department of Safety on 30 October, then redid it with a bit of sync lead for the Stafford show.
Notice the crunchiness – this entire set was mixed and processed through a Yamaha DMP-7. It’s one of the first digital mixers, and it’s got a really unique sound as it takes analog input, converts it all to digital, does all processing digitally inside the machine, then does another DA conversion on output to provide regular old analog outs.
This song to me is the sound of all the house music that wants to exist on a rainy Washington island finding refuge in one, strangely slanted room.

Title: Beat Friends (Live from Stafford)
Artist: Noggin
Album: Live at Stafford
Date: 2009
Major props to all those who came out to Birds and the Beats vol. 3 episode 1.
And double props to those who came out to Murphys the following night.
Here’s a live version of a track I recorded at the Stafford Main Street for a semi-regular Holiday show in 2009. Thanks to Houston for making sure it sounded good, and for recording this performance.
Jon Alderson on the drums, which we recorded in Denton, TX, and which have somehow interjected into my life every day since (this fool can drum, let me say).
Look for the studio version of this track coming soon on the Sober October record.
And let me take this opportunity to give my love and support to the Stafford in Bryan, TX. Best sound from Houston to Austin (no BS), and a killer vibe…I hope to come back someday.

Title: Boom Bounce
Artist: Noggin
Album: As Yet Unknown
Date: 2009
Originally did this for my boy Adnan’s birfday, wanting my boy Turner to record some talk-box vox like we had done together so many times on his webcast. Well he never came through, so for his birthday, he gets a regift.

Title: Big Iron (Marty Robbins Vs Osymyso Minimoos mix)
Artist: Noggin
Album: Minimoos
Date: 2010
More of a recommendation than a request.
Here is part of a mix I did for a friend visiting from Germany. This bootleg / mashup is comprised of Marty Robbins, some Michaux, and some Osymyso.
The full mix was also inspired by an event I was able to be a part of for the Austin Museum Of Digital Art at the Moose lodge. about this time in 2009.
Full mix coming soon.
