Title: Great Eastern Shade (nogmix)
Artist: Karl Blau + Noggin
Album: 96 Nog Jams
Date: 2010

Probably the first piece I did to create backing tracks for Karl’s “96” record. I loved those crunchy drums, and took it upon myself to see if I could turn his voice into a bit of an electronic instrument via the power of digital sampling in the mpc.
I’ll never forget the first moments I was working on that vocal, Elena came over with Murphy and he just started singing along with Karl’s endless tone.
MURPH!!!

Ambient track produced from a couple George Strait samples on the EPS. Damn, that is a deep keyboard. Not even software samplers come close to what it could do with built in functionality.
Recorded to cassette tape in the early summer of ’10 in Anacortes, WA.
Thanks again, Karl.

This is another song written in 2009 very late at night in a very wet, very dark, mildly heated Anacortes upstairs room. Pretty sure I was up waiting for the meteor shower, or I had just come back from it. I think I wrote the majority of mawL on this same night.
Finally recorded last winter in the Sunnybrook garage.
Yer basic MPC-trip-tech-to-tape traversal.

Straight from the MS2000 faceplate to tape one evening in the red house. This ambient track is dedicated to the struggle inside all of us.

Title: Untitled track 08
Artist: Pictures Of Clouds
Album: Pictures Of Clouds
Date: 2010

Let’s just go ahead and wrap this up.
Here is one more track from the POC sessions that I kind of recorded on a whim while trying out an auto-tune feeding back on itself.
I’m hesitant to attach this one to the POC releases, but it definitely came from those sessions. Consider it a super secret track that you might find branded as POC, Noggin, or whatever else.
A favorite. (and a throwback to tuesdays post ;]).

Reeeeallly close to wrapping up the Pictures of Clouds release, but, as is the nature of the beast, it’s a bit of a nebulous thing. More tracks bearing the moniker are still to come, but for the most part, the set is complete and presentable.
This is the intro track that set the stage for what was to come, and also make us feel good about hitting the stop button on the tape player. You know, something is only finished when you deem it so, and it’s good to do that ever so often.

Finally getting a bit more ambient with what was intended to be an ambient project. This second song from the Pictures of Clouds sessions sort of rolled out immediately after the first couple jams. The tapedeck went like, pause,(pause),un-pause, and we got back into it. Once again rockin with the sequencers off. MPC and Ion + a young master + a young anacortian + myself.

One that fits the original ‘ambient’ vibe of the POC release a little closer.
This is basically track 3 off the album, not counting the intro track. We are just riding a vibe here, sequencer off, fx routed and fedback on each other, Elena chilling under the window.
Part of the magic of this short track is how it opens up for track 7, so you’ll have to burn this whole album to experience that proper-like.

This is one of the hits off the Pictures of Clouds release. All props to The Young Master on keys here, for one of the best, recorded, impromptu jams of my life.

My favorite track from these sessions, and pretty much the reason why I decided to keep these reverb tracks that I unintentionally recorded.
