Album: Sober October
Date: 2011

Here’s the one track from the Reverb City sessions (sort of a Sober October sessions alpha version) that actually made it to the album. I just liked the jam so much I couldn’t let it go. And yes, since I already posted this, bonus track is included.
MPC straight to 1/4″ reels via LXP-1 on full reverb.

Title: Thumb
Artist: Noggin
Album: Sober October
Date: 2011

One of the oldest tracks, and most played out, I’ve been performing this piece at shows since December of 2009. I wrote this track one night in Anacortes when I couldn’t sleep due to excessive pain.
The beats came from wanting to honor DJ Screw in a way. The melody is a program I created on the MPC after sampling Alyx’s keyboard.
MPC straight to 1/4″ reels via Mackie mixer and LXP-1 on send.
Chuck originally called this one “One amazing evening”.

Title: Walk Around (reverb track)
Artist: Noggin
Album: Reverb City
Date: 2010

This one grew out of a desire to roll tape, roll out reverb, and roll up… Kind of came out of nowhere, originally a beat I was working on for Karl, I believe, which likely might have been a beat I was originally working on in Oklahoma with Smile T. These things get mixed around sometimes in the heat of it all. If you don’t know the story by now, I recorded 4 tracks…two dry aux tracks and two reverb returns (stereo), only to find out that I didn’t really know how to use this new tape machine, and so only the reverb tracks got recorded. Still makes for some interesting listening.
Mpc + lxp1 -> tape.

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.

More hybrid Sunnybrook garage/Redhouse attic jam. This one completes this suite of mixes.
Ran with the melody a bit more in this one, and this one comes out as one of the most focused efforts from these samples / sequences.
MPC + LXP1 straight to 1/4″ reels.

Noggin – Orkas (Invitation)(vers 1)

Title: Orkas (Invitation)
Artist: Noggin
Album: Sober October demos
Date: 2010

Yall are gonna get more of this one. This is what I call the ‘Invitation’ to the larger piece, which currently sits at around 20 minutes long.
I wrote these songs on Orcas Island during a visit there. The house we stayed in had a pretty generic, busted ass Casio keyboard, and, having brought my sampler, I figured this would be a good opportunity to use what I got, and make some beats/sounds using nothing but the broken keyboard I had in hand. I call it broken because I could only manage to get one sound out of it. Well, a few run ins with the sampler program editor, and this one sound turned into my entire palette for the bulk of this music.
More details as these songs find their way this way.
This is MPC fed through LXP1.
