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.

Trypset and I put down the majority of this one the first time we tried. It’s now made the rounds through some Abletons, racks, daws, and tapes, and I want to be sure to put it out during the December trackaday blowout currently ongoing.
See yall at birds and the beats.

So let this serve as a preview / taste of what is to come.

Title: Forget All The Memories (Diversion mix)
Artist: And the Bass Kicks the Drum
Album: And the Bass Kicks the Remix
Date: 2011
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.

Title: x0x508
Artist: Noggin
Album: Old Town Acid (demo)
Release Date: 2010
Last September I finally built my x0xb0x. That is a bass-synthesizer, clone of the infamous Roland TB-303. It’s amazing how, for 15 years I have been trying to emulate this one particular sound, and now, after about two weeks huddled over a circuit board and huffing solder fumes, all I have to do is plug this machine in.
A C I D.
This was recorded literally seconds after I turned the machine on for the first time.
Uploading today because I just opened her up to do a bit of surgery…the USB section (yes acid has been brought to the 21st century) is not working, and I thought/was hoping/am hoping it was just a bad resonator not letting the FTDI usb chip run properly…we’ll see…
Muchas gracias to the kind soul from Germany sending me a resonator so I could try it out.
Edit after the fact: WTF is my problem posting a 303 track on 302!? HAPPY 303 everyone. Request Thursday still stands…

Title: Spookane
Artist: Pizza party
Album: demos
Release Date: 2010
Request!
This is from some Pizza Party sessions rocking a 1986 Ensoniq workstation synthesizer. Well, sort of, the original demo was kind of jammy, so I bounced down the constituent parts, edited, and added vocals this afternoon. Here’s hoping you dig.
ps. The mix/master slider on this one was set to -4.

Title: Reel to Roll
Artist: Jon + Noggin
Album: Sober October Demos
Release Date: 2010
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: Theme Song to Adnan
Artist: Noggin
Album: n/a
Release Date: 2010
Fast forward to present day. This is a track I whipped up out of boredom/inspiration one afternoon last spring. This differs from my normal take on production in that it is pretty much entirely Logic instruments doing the sound generation – with the exception of the terminal ‘say’ command reading from a Chuck script I wrote for a friend who needed a looping sampler.
Dedicated to and inspired by my good amigo Mr. Marquez-Borbon. How about laying down some real tape-sax for me hombre?! Includes hand-shuffled rhythms.
