Love Back Through the Wire

over the last week, i have been trying to spend some time learning a new piece of music software. it has been somewhat frustrating because it is so different from what i am used to. i wanted to make up a quick project that would allow me to work on a bunch of tracks that are unrelated sonically and thus had me exploring different aspects of the software.

here it is: thanking the nice peeps who wished me a happy birthday electronically last thursday (fb, myspace, txt, twitter etc) with little pieces of music. bday diddies for each of you, yo. nothing is over 3 minutes. pardon any possible errant frequencies, uneven volumes, lack of endings etc.

get at me if you want individual files or a zip of the whole thing.

01. b. lashua – kent street technique
this track would be 100x better with your drumming. i miss working on music with you but i am grateful for all the music we did together.

03. t. fleming – the hopeful machines of salt lake
those machine recordings you sent were amazing. whats the machine i used for this track do? it sounds awesome. i was trying to make something uplifting sounding on top of it instead of the obvious industrial route. thank you for taking the time to collect and send them. we gotta do some collaborating soon.

08. j. rockwell – adventures of black
i could hear you spitting a gritty verse on this. is it within ettiquite to request a verse line? if so, ‘more ox than cannibal’. maybe something about hannibal for other half =). you are a good friend, thank you.

13. m. kropf – frank lloyd discotech
something along the lines of one of the reoccurring  rhythms of  booty shaking loveliness often heard at the legendary kropf parties.

14. a. kim – late october pre dawn bus stop
i was sorta trying to capture the feeling of  the dark late fall early mornings that we had to catch the bus in.. not necessarily the part where i would jump out from behind a tree to scare the crap out of you. sorry about that.

16. c. schuerger – professional systems support
youtube provided some cheerleader yells, a police scanner provided some akron law enforcement action.. there is even a skinny puppy sample (that bed of noise that starts and ends the track) in there.

18. a. scola – approved groove
i remember dancing around in the helio control room if we were listening to something (homemade or otherwise) with an approved groove. i can imagine your voice doing something along the lines of the lead synth line. twood be sick.

20. d. lashua – mew nork van ridezz
some kinda sad attempt at something heavy i guess. i wasn’t even using a real guitar amp and yet i still managed to come up with what sounds like shitty mic placement. needs a d-train guitar overhaul.. and a b-bomb drum overhaul for that matter.

22. l. flate – i was thinking of revamping that track you and i did together but i think i lost the source files and it didn’t seem right to use anything old since everything else was a new creation. you get this instead.
