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).

Artist: Noggin
Album: As Yet Unknown
Release Date: 2010

Last spring I started doing remixes by reworking others’ tunes through a vintage Nintendo running MidiNES. This results in endless fun and a new appreciation for dealing with limitations…the NES can only make 5 sounds at any given time, and only 3 of those are melodic.
This is a remix I have done for a guy called Sure Dread from the DubRoom. Sure Dread, I would like to commend you on your excellent work.
This song is by Sure Dread, I have done this remix out of respect and admiration for his work.
I also have to give props to Rocky for helping tweak this shiznit in the basement w/ me.

This is yet another of those ‘Remember how much you love BUzz?!’ tracks I make from time to time. My head is often in many different places these days, vs the old days when all I had was time to spend on the one piece of music gear I had, Buzz software. Just wanted to get some acid going in the living room while eating dinner one night. Acid, for you.

Meant to record my radio broadcast today and use that as fridays track, but that will have to wait til next week (I’m in the process of moving…everything’s all over the place).
More tiny random ambient noise jam via the Red House. This one probably has the most ‘friday jam’ feel to it out of all of these little studies.

This is one that my buddy Rocky and I threw together one spring day in Anacortes. Another friend of ours had donated a superbly awesome keyboard sampler, the Ensoniq EPS, and these short few lo-fi tracks came out of the first breaths that machine took in our studio.
We weren’t sure how to or even if this thing would work, and all we had for a sound source was my recently pick-up’ed nylon guitar. So every sound is from that guitar.
Major props to Rocky.

Welcome back, Jon.
Here’s one that, after extensive editing, got pieced together from some tape Jon and I laid down one night in the garage.
It’s an ER-1, some harmonica, and that old orange guitar, cut to hell and edited in Logic.

Title: Sunday Morning Sidewalk (reverb track)
Artist: Noggin
Album: Reverb City

Recording doesn’t always go as planned. I sat down one night, recorded hours worth of stuff, only to listen to it the next day and realise I had somehow only managed to record the reverb sends to tape.
This is one of those tracks…I still kind of like them.
MPC2KXL hitting the akai reel-to-reel via some Lexicon LXP-1.
