Big Changes in my Lonely Furrow

So when I started this blog idea thing, the original idea was to have a small select group of us putting in various tunes, videos, images and other bits of media on a sort of regular basis, and then interlinking with threads and themes. It started becoming obvious after a short while that this wasn't going to work and it was only myself putting in stuff....

...and that's alright, because after all it's what people want to do. No disappointments, no reproaches. On I go, winding my lonely furrow, putting in new stuff and weird ideas as the fancy takes me.

So, after a long think, and a long long time away from anything, bloglike, here we go again...

KG and the Ultramixes:



While working on a track using samples from the amazing Gristleism box of effects running it through midi sequencers and Kaoss pads for effects, I started finding I was developing one of the most complex tracks I had ever come across - or at least, one of the ones that I found was taking longer and longer and longer to get right. Fourteen takes and remixes later, I was coming away with something that I was happy with. Here is a little oddity that almost feel by the wayside during these sessions, being a track that was made entirely with midi sequencers and much processing of the flanges.





This track now shows the TeeGee samples modulated through Gristleism and the Kaoss Pad and now teamed up with a certain Tee Gee ditty. I can't think what came over me when I was putting this one together...





This is what I was trying to achieve with the track - but at Version 12, it is still something I am not happy with. Maybe I am just being picky but there is a series of clicks throughout that really get on my bits. This is one is the Gristleism Box, the Bass sequence loop, and the Kaoss Pad, all going at it together!



...and then finally from this series, we have the Tee Gee samples and the Kaoss Pad at work again, but this time supported by a solid piece of brain candy in the form of a loop from the PFC. I leave anyone vaguely interested  to figure out what that particular acronym stands for.
