RPM 2009 - Feels Good (The Album)

Once again, I have attempted to make an album entirely in the month of February, for the RPM Challenge. Once again, I succeeded, and nearly drove myself mad. You can stream or download the files below.

I can always get you a hard (CD) copy if you prefer - that is, if you still roll that way. Just drop me a line.

Also - all questions, criticisms, praise, or confused rants are always welcome in the comments! I am open to any and all discussion about instruments, methods, cocktails, etc.

Love,

Calm Domino or Durr

More Nord Micro Modular fun. I forgot how much awesomeness is trapped inside that little beauty.

This is a single patch I made the other night... it's performed all with knobs, in one take. There is very little 'sequencing', as it were - mostly just lfos and oscillator sync doing tricky things. Some slight fx were added afterward in Live. Not terribly exciting, but fun to build.

I'm breaking out all the old toys and messing around, trying to prepare myself for RPM 2009.
I encourage all to try it - it's quite an experience.

Rock on.

Oh, and the title is an anagram. ;)

Fire and Ice

A little synth anthem using the beloved Nord Micro Modular, which I have taken to patching once again.

The drums are TR-606 samples by Goldbaby.

The toy piano is a Schoenhut 'Fancy Baby Grand' sampled by Kent Williams



Some say the world will end in fire,
Some say in ice.
From what I've tasted of desire
I hold with those who favor fire.
But if it had to perish twice,
I think I know enough of hate
To say that for destruction ice
Is also great
And would suffice.

-Robert Frost

Out, out, brief candle!
Life's but a walking shadow, a poor player
That struts and frets his hour upon the stage
And then is heard no more: it is a tale
Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury,
Signifying nothing.

-Macbeth, Act V Scene V

And, Hey!

Also check out the collective I'm a part of, too. We also made an RPM album, all of us using Monome minimalist interfaces. I contributed a track and a remix of a remix (a 'double remix', if you will). Check it out here: miximal
