		<title>audio: Tango Combinado</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Another ninjam mixdown for your listening pleasure

Direct download link [48MB MP3]

Recorded Sept. 10 2008. No edits, just mixdown of what we all played live, with compression, eq, and reverb added to make things cohesive, and put the right instrument in the foreground as best i could.
the group:
me: keyboard sounds (everything but piano)
slickback: drum kit
tbfx: guitar

		<title>audio: Buddha Knows Best (rob mix)</title>
		<description><![CDATA[This is one of the first actual online collaborative projects I&#8217;ve done. I just never posted the completed product. A fellow YouTuber reached out to me and asked if I&#8217;d like to collaborate on some Deep House kind of things. I said yes, and here&#8217;s what ultimately happened.

First, here&#8217;s the goods:

The starting point of this [...]]]></description>

		<title>audio: Really, Really Weird</title>
		<description><![CDATA[This is an entry in a contest, which is something I usually don&#8217;t mess with. I would have done this even without the contest though.

First check out the super cool original pop tune version of this, with aliens and everything, done by Jeff Boller recording as the Simple Carnival:

A wickedly hooky pop tune, with a [...]]]></description>

		<title>a great ninjam</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve been using NINJAM for about a year or so now to play with other musicians online. Sometimes the experience is unbelievably excellent. This is a mix of one of those sessions.


Programming note: the first 15 seconds or so are silent.
This is a jam in G minor that I played online with a few other [...]]]></description>

		<title>audio: etude after Ligeti</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Ligeti&#8217;s Atmosphères is a piece that had a profound impact on me. I actually studied the score before hearing it, and heard it outside the film score context where most people encountered it. I think I was in my mid teens at the time. I had access to a university library and a really hip [...]]]></description>

		<title>audio: son of volvox</title>
		<description><![CDATA[More audio. More format breaking. More madness.

Another piece that started with an idea and ended up somewhere else entirely. See if you can tell what time signature it&#8217;s in.

This one is at least kind of short.
One notable use of effects&#8211;I use the Rhodes solo to key a noise gate on the pad channel for some [...]]]></description>

		<title>audio: space voyage</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;m going to try posting some audio-only stuff I&#8217;ve worked on in my studio. If you guys like this (or hate it), let me know in comments. I&#8217;m considering doing a podcast format. I&#8217;m just not sure what the interest in that would be.

Here&#8217;s the goods:

This doesn&#8217;t really sound like much else that I&#8217;ve posted [...]]]></description>

		<title>video: somewhat insincere</title>
		<description><![CDATA[More loop jam, but this one is in 13/8 for variety&#8217;s sake.

I came up with this in the car driving home. I quickly captured it in my notebook. This is what I started this tune with:

I recorded that on the Alesis drum kit real quickly (in three passes&#8211;hi hat fist, then kick+snare, then crashes), then [...]]]></description>

		<title>video: interlude</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Another funky loop, but I&#8217;m back to 4/4 for a while.

I really stomped on the limiter to get a certain sound with this one, and the encoding I use to get things in stereo on YouTube doesn&#8217;t deal very gracefully with high average levels. So here&#8217;s an MP3 that sounds a hell of a lot [...]]]></description>

		<title>video: after six</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Another entry in the loop-based funk category. I deliberately didn&#8217;t point out the distinguishing characteristic of this tune.

I just had the urge to play in an odd meter. However, I was kind of hoping that the odd meter wouldn&#8217;t be totally obvious to people either, and I deliberately did not point out in my YouTube [...]]]></description>
