Title: Beat Friends
Artist: Noggin
Album: Sober October
Date: 2011

Did I time it right? Are we conveniently at a collaboration Thursday again? SCORE.
Friend on the street, friends on the beat, beat friends.
Jon provided the base drum sounds during a visit to Denton. Amazing what you can do with only a single sm57 overhead. I have gotten so much mileage out of these sounds, sometimes I want to scrap every other drum sample I have. I also love using my fingers to recreate what it takes homedude an entire body and a fair amount of stinky sweat to pull off.
This track almost made it onto the Old Town Acid EP, but I felt it really went with the vibe of this collection , so here it is.
MPC and x0xb0x straight to 1/4″ reels via Mackie mixer and LXP-1 on send.
Chuck originally called this one “Day in the life of a hypnotist”.

The saintly son of Sunnybrook comes back again in record time with this an ‘edit’ of probably the most divergent track from the release. Lovin the vocals and just the whole idea of hearing something I have spent so much time with take on a life of it’s own outside of my habitat.
Muchas gracias!

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.

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.

It’s messed up, cause as much as I want this ‘category’ page to turn out like an album page, that would mean I would have to post the tracks in reverse order…since it sorts everything by date, newest first. Well I screwed that up with the first post for this EP by posting track 3 first.
Who cares though, here’s the fifth and final ATBKTD ‘remix’…which is really just a super-screwed version of another remix. It’s a nice chance to peak into harmonics that you might not have known were there, as they are suddenly brought down into the audible spectrum.
This one’s got em. In droves.

Finally, the heart of where all this madness stemmed from*. This is the first remix we decided to do to tape, which is basically me blindly flying through Jon’s live set up of ATBKTD. Jammed it out while recording, loved it, then found out we weren’t recording…we never engaged the knob to ‘record’…we only made it halfway to ‘play’. And since I had just magnetically erased the tracks (gnarly!), we didn’t hear anything (I guess we weren’t monitoring the tape either).
So yada yada you’ve already heard all this, we just quickly rewound the tape and went straight back to work.
Thanks again to my ATBKTD cats.

This is the most jammy remix of the bunch. Stays pretty true to the original, barring some manual tape speed changes. This one sees the drums kicking back on the bass.
Once again, recorded to 1/4″ tape from MPC1k through an LXP-1 reverb.

While it’s fresh, why don’t we go ahead and make this an ATBKTD week?
Here’s remix #3 which is definitely the furthest diversion from the original track. This is two guys on one MPC 1000 in a garage…that makes like 20 possible fingers on the pads + leaves room for someone to be constantly modifying the sequencer functions while recording.
This one was all laid down live, I don’t think any sequence actually got saved for this one.

Bill and Jon (Billijons, Bojillions, etc) recorded this killer track sometime last fall. Really came out of nowhere and knocked everyone down. I managed to get the tracks, and after much procrastination, finally finished some remixes due to a well timed txt-message. They could use some work in the mixing, but thats fine as I feel you really need to pass mixing and then mastering off to different people to really get a well-tuned production.
Major props to Jon on the production and Bill on the vox…absolutely incredible performance…I was sitting here with these loose ideas for a track, then I accidentally unmuted Bills vox track…suddenly the track started to make sense. Coincidentally enough, the vocal track I had was not used in their final version. You’ve aint never heard homedude hold notes for this long, sounds good.
This is part 3 from a 5 part remix-o-rama that runs the gamut from basic edits to total noise loop annihilation.
Thanks Bill and Jon for being awesomer.

Artist: Jon + Noggin
Album: As Yet Unknown
Date: 2011

One night Jon came over and we had a hell of a recording session, just hitting the reels real freeform style, just putting hot pokers to the tape heads. Then we realised we has only hit ‘play’ and not record. First time I tried out the demagnetiser to really see how it cleaned up tapes, so the tape that was playing was blank, and we never noticed.
Luckily, we just sat down and got to work and hammered out a bunch of the tracks right away.
This is a pretty collaborative drum n bass effort here coming straight off Jon’s mpc.
