What can I say, I’m a sucker for a request.
This is from a pretty fruitful collaboration with one Andy, aka Gabriel Winter. We met up via Buzz, and decided to start working together on some pretty epic buzz tunes. Gabe’s insane melodic sense and my don’t-know-what-I’m-doing programming and I think we had a pretty good thing going.
This one was our first collaboration, and we went back and forth with this one pretty crazy. I can’t remember if Gabe was in Dallas or Colorado. Working with Gabriel Winter taught me a lot and humbled me in ways I needed to be humbled. He was an outstanding musician and one of the most positive people I had ever met.
Gabe if yer out there drop me a line!

Artist: CNCTR aka Noggin
Album: Every Early Experiment
Date: 1997

DIRTY BREAKS JAH
Along the same lines as the GaGeAsSeBr things, my live sets had to consist of looped phrases that I played back on the fly….this is pre-tempo sync too folks to it’s all flowing straight from the fingers (I actually prefer this). Anyway this is a banger I threw together for no other purpose than to have pure dirt coming out the speakers when I played live.
Named Havana cause somehow I was really into Cuban cigars when I was in high school.
This is pretty much all S-20 played live with loops from different things, namely TS-404 which was a pretty great pre-vst softsynth groovebox thing.

Had a lot of fun with this one. I basically had this beat going, somehow managed to get a large chunk from Pancho and Lefty in here, and pretty accidentally cut out some clips from it and used them for flavor. I think it all started with that intro guitar (imagine that, it starting with the intro). This definitely doesn’t come out sounding like a remix or anything of that song, but I’m sure you’ll notice the sample.
There is also a slightly modified version of this that will come up later in the year.

Gageassebr goes dub in this one. Deep sine bass and tricked out atmospherics + slow synth creepings.

More Buzz pattern looping madness. This was the closing track for the GaGeAsSeBr EP, if you don’t count the secret track. This one involved a lot of experimental techniques (experimental to me, at the time). Lots of compression, lots of synthesis, formant filtering, slap bass, vocoder, you name it.

Part 1

Title: BU002 (track 1)
Artist: Noggin / Mobb Deep
Album: Beretta Underground 002
Date: 2002

Made during my mixtape-madness days…this one served as the introduction to my second public mix, Beretta Underground 002. It’s basically a beat constructed in the classic 90s hip hop style (Moody Blues on the sample yall), with a heavily edited Mobb Deep a capella dropped back on top. Oh yea and a glitched out Bruce Willis a capella from 12 Monkeys….maybe one of the last appearances of a movie sample in my work.
This is still one of my proudest mixtapes, real deep real good hip hop.

Title: My Best Friend’s a Felon (Live at KEOS 2000)
Artist: Noggin
Album: Live at KEOS 2000
Date: 2000

Request Thursday in full effect (if you’ve never made a request before GET AT ME! You don’t have to know what you want, just give me an idea let’s freestyle together!).
When I moved to San Marcos in 2000 I left a radio show I had been doing for 2 or 3 years to my cohost DJ Fro and his new cohost Big Dookie (no that’s not what he called himself then but it is what we call him now). Wanting to play live again, and also visit the show I had so lovingly nurtured, we set up this in studio performance one Wednesday night during thanksgiving or christmas or something while were all back in town.
In the studio we had Fro, Dred, PolyPatrick, JoMoNo, Big Dookie, myself, and I know Mike was there finishing up most of the time. We had a great time just trying to get the sampler all hooked into the board and also synced with my backing cd of hihats…don’t hate yall I was working with very limited technology and 16 total samples was just not enough to play this track so I had to put them on a cd and then play drums, keys, strings, and samples over that. So yea, this is for the most part live. Yes there is a blatant Underworld sample I figured I’d do something I couldn’t legally do on record live.
Huge thanks to Fro for engineering this whole thing, and it’s funny because this definitely is an early instance of almost every conversation I have with a sound guy these days.

GaGeAsSeBr – Krypton

Title: Krypton
Artist: GaGeAsSeBr
Album: GaGeAsSeBr
Date: 2001

Here’s another bit of a concept album I did right out of high school, if not mostly while still in high school. When I was in middle school, I thought the periodic table was mostly good for finding hidden words amongst the abbreviations. GaGeAsSeBr (Gah-Gee-Ass-Ee-Bur) is about the best you can do though. David and I laughed about this for a good year… we had a knack for talking nonsense.
Anyway once I started making music, I guess this was the first ‘concept album’ I wanted to do. The idea was to be completely off the wall, and also VERY sampler friendly. My sampler at the time was an Akai S-20, with a good amount of memory (17mb), but a horrible storage method (floppies…many of my tracks were spread across 3 to 4 floppies and loading time was absolutely atrocious). So this project grew out of me wanting to make somewhat daft, somewhat jamming loops, and be able to create entire improvised tracks around these loops (no more than 16, either).
Looking back, this is one of the first occurrences of restrictions pushing my creativity…it’s sometimes good to have limits to your ability, or deadlines, or other restrictions because it makes you work more with the goal in mind, and not so much the process. I recall that once I started tracking these things out, they just started flowing and I think I did the first three in the first day.
So, here’s the first installment of the GaGeAsSeBr posts which I’m going to do backwards so it shows up in correct order when you later come look at the EP page.
This first one, ‘Krypton’, you’ll notice isn’t even in the GaGeAsSeBr paradigm…that’s because I also had a penchant for secret tracks. This is the secret track. And pay attention, I totally ripped myself off later by pulling the best part of this track out and using it with Rik in the previous, ‘Robofish / Guitar’.
Enjoy.

Title: Clockwatcher
Artist: Noggin
Album: As Yet Unknown
Release Date: 2001

Title comes from the fact that this song is set at 120 bpm. That is until you realise that one of the flaws in Old Buzz was the fact that the tempo was just straight up OFF. So this is 120 plus or minus a couple percent.
This one is in honor of the radio station I listen to while I’m coding, deepmix.ru. Amazing deep and minimal house.
