#Endlesss
Had a rather dizzyingly early start a few mornings ago to jam with Imogen Heap via Endlesss
People : Meet Matt and Imogen…
The session was about an hour of absurd noises and some fun, it was an honour and delight to be involved …
I need to point out this was a collaborative effort, so also very much involved were: Jim Mclure, Rick Sands, and Jeremy Michael Skjevling.
Thanks to all!
Got asked, so…Setup was: OBS collecting my 2 vid streams (laptop and Phone cameras) and intercom audio sending via Google Meet to the very gracious Matt at Endlesss, then music via Ableton Live ‘blackhole’d‘ to the amazing @EndlesssFM Studio, synching all the audio from the UK and USA to me. My Toys were a few NI soft synths, a Microfreak, with a tokai tele and a stingray bass via GtrRig.
Still Working on this…
if your on IOS and into sound…
BoarderLands iOS app
is a mesmerising art project, that also happens to be quite amazingly fun to make sounds with.

Going through my drive throwing various pointless experiments that I can’t even remember WHY I did them, out so …
Something to chill with.
Noodling…
Some things just Resonate.
its a Plinky Plonky type of day
Distractions in the time of … C19 plague
Brains too fried to be clever so reverting to a combination of old pathways and completely inconsequential tweaking…
Apologies to Jon H
Exploring the touch response of the MicroFreak. Tip of the hat to the boggling Jon Hassell.
All part of the 1 pass, no edits and 3 mins to make the sound series
Kia Kaha! Stay Strong!
Thought id try to learn Ableton, but it became more about the #MicroFreak
So, Sitting around Self Isolating …
Thought id teach myself Ableton LIVE
Yep is Music for old people, buy hey IM OLD so …
Made this track using its 909 kit and an Arturia MicroFreak.
Excuse the less than inspired drum part, got lost in the Synth:+)
To make things interesting, made some rules:
All sounds from Default on the micro freak had to be made in less than 3 mins and the parts had to be played in with no edits.
45 mins later;…
By request. the no crappy beats version, you can REALLY hear the bad playing now!:+)
Trace…
Is anything ever really ‘Finished’ now? Not sure, but in the mean time…
Really soul restoring to be playing real bass again, kicks in hard after the second chorus. #RiffyFun.
The Only Good Reich, is a STEVE Reich!
Time Out,
Been head down in instrument design, needed a short spell thinking in a different way to clear my head so…

Teaching aid… When trying to learn a bit of software, i make scratch tracks.
Heres one of them:
Chase Sequence that just Fizzles out?
Underscore for a non existent movie.
Another ‘found file’ imagining a somewhat steely image of robots trying to chat each other up in a bus station.

Ok so I’m having a moment or two of Reverie…
Rather proud of my synthetic scratch DJ patch.

My iTunes decided to throw this rather strange noise, done with a modular software synth sampler Gate/CV thing…
It gets interesting about 20 seconds or so In.
