Fireworks

Ok, last one and then I’m done for a while. Fireworks. It’s a drone that sort of sounds like… fireworks. Sort of.

Gyuto Monks Tantric Choir – Praising Chakrasamvara

Oh my god, three podcasts in one day? This is madness!

A friend told me that he wanted a video that combined Buddhist monks with fractals. This is what he got.

A Little Wine

Once again, I have absolutely no explanation for this track, or it’s title. I found it sitting there with a smug look on it’s face being all droney and sparkly. So I’m sharing.

Assay, the video

I love making music videos for my tracks, I really do.

Life Unconstrained Themesong, “Take 3″

Ok you guys, this one is neat because it’s an actual commission! That I’m engaged to the commissioner and the payment was that she would do a load of dishes are largely irrelevant.

Anyway, so Dani (of lifeunconstrained.com) is gearing up to start a videoblog to help support her new site and business, and she came to me for some theme music. After throwing some sites around for research, she asked if I could just make it. “And make is sound sort of like Pomplemoose!” she cried. So, I did.

A light little bit of instrumental electronic pop, with one simple theme and enough moving parts that it can be taken apart and put back together again in a bunch of different ways, to help extend the brand and also add auditory interest to videos. Enjoy!

How I Got Internet Famous On Tumblr For Like A Week.

Jesus Christ Yet Again I’m An Attention-Sucking Whore.

Rosalarian (http://rosalarian.tumblr.com) summed up the entire new Lady Gaga album as “Techno Techno Jesus Jesus Techno Sex Techno”, and said she needed to make a track like that. I did it first, because she does webcomics and I do… shit like this. Originally published on Soundcloud, this has over 700 plays there, which isn’t super-remarkable in Soundcloud terms, but that happened in the span of a few weeks, which blows the play rate of any of my other Soundcloud tracks and this podcast right out of the water.

Philip Glass – Geometry of Circles – Backwards

If you’re a person of a certain age, namely my age, you might remember the trippy animations from Sesame Street of a bunch of rainbow circles on a black background floating around doing abstract stuff, all to this weird pulsing repeating vocal soundtrack. (If you don’t remember off the top of your head, go search youtube for “geometry of circles” and then you’ll know if you’ve ever seen it or not.)

Anyway, that music for those animations is Philip Glass music. And it’s not just any composition of his, those are original compositions created for those animations. Cool, huh?

So I was watching the video on youtube, and I know better but I was reading the comments anyway, and one comment said something to the effect of “I listened to this music backwards one day, and got the devil’s recipe for brownies”. I thought, I have the technology, what does it sound like, backwards?

Turns out? Backwards, it sounds pretty much the same.

Triskele Cloud

Yes, I did an ambient remix of Triskele. I do that to pretty much everything these days. It came out… kind of unsettling. I like it.

Triskele

YES I missed posting in June SHUT UP.

So, I was in a music making mood and started playing “limit the artist” with a friend of mine over g-chat, and here’s the limitation list we worked out:

  • ambient
  • abstract
  • instrumental
  • chillout
  • spirals
  • celtic triskele
  • the number 3
All that, plus she sent me this:
So, we were off to the races. I banged that image through my image-readin’ plugin, twiddled some nobs, tried to conform to the list, and pretty music came out.
I’m so excited to see what the comment spam on this episode will be!
