Audio Playground: Original Music And Audio Art: Recent Episodes

A little inspiration from the Crookers Dr. Love. Looped two beats from the song and tried to sync em. Seems to have turned out pretty good with my limited equipment :)
The song is a little bit of a roller coaster even though it's fairly trance style. Have a listen and find out for yourself.
Also a big thanks to Iron Man on this one too!
At some points in this shifting track it feels like there is a heartbeat hidden underneath all this mechano-alien feeling piece. Hard to put an extended finger on it.
After a visit from one of my favorite friends that I've been playing music with for almost a decade, this little instrumental was inspired.
Warning! This song is purely instrumental, but completely original.
I built everything from scratch like a little robot needing love. If we were to really bring her to life here's how I would describe her.
Remember, she's still in the developmental stages, so malfunctions and glitches do occur every once in a while and it causes her to sputter a little oil every now and again, but little misses Two lasted a lot longer than her twin sister.
Pretty soon I'll upgrade her parts and she'll be the most efficient little robot you've ever seen. I've even taken a photo of her inner workings to show you how we've used DNA strands to power and develop her brain's AI system. So far so good. Let's hope she doesn't get thrown in the trash like 99% of our other projects...
Anyhow, I hope you enjoy this little song, it's the first of many to come, sound quality improvements will be coming shortly. Just gotta shell out a ton of cash to get the equipment I need...
Enjoy,
Jake
Any MIA fans out there? I happen to be one and for some reason decide to try mixing a couple of her songs together and here's what I got.
Hope you like it, please comment.
Late last night, wielding a djembe, an acoustic guitar and the human larynx, this song was forged from the depths of human emotion. the crushing defeat of losing someone close to you...
... but there is a light at the end of the tunnel. So don't despair.
This short skit is Bowser's final taunting note that he leaves behind at the castle. You get to read it once the king gets returned to his normal state... which a pretty ugly one.
The best part about this letter is it actually starts with this introduction: "Yo,"
I have no idea how to use programs like Ableton, but I somehow managed to get some kinda drum beat happening, and it turned out decent after I tweaked it in Audacity.
I think I'll throw a guitar track on there in the future.
So... if you know what a bong is, then you'll be able to appreciate the epicness of this creative little piece. It come's complete with a stoned out intro in french, and bong hits throughout.
This is a MUST listen if you like to hit the bong.
Enjoy!
This turned out to be a pretty good song in the end. I highly recommend giving it a listen.
Now this one got away on us a little bit. I got extremely carried away and Marc wasn't too happy with the way this ended... but it was oh-so-much-fun to create!
This song was kinda sad, but kinda fun to play at the same time. It's faint, but Gen's playing percussion on my keyboard in the corner. pretty good beats I must say.
Gen was with me on my birthday and she wrote this song for me, but I couldn't help but sing along it was so catchy.
Thanks again Gen!
After wards, we proceeded to crack open a 300$ bottle of champagne courtesy of my friend Ryan, and enjoyed some delicious bubbly on my Champagne Birthday. (I turned 26 on the 26'th of August 2008)
This is a fictional piece of art where everything was made up on the spot. It's pretty ridiculous, hope you get a chuckle or two out of it.
Note: The Government is still after Marc's chips ;)
This is a track that my great friend Gen and I recorded on a lazy afternoon with an acoustic guitar and a classical guitar all off the cuff, no rehearsing. The best part is, she's not even a guitar player ;)
This is a dumb duel. Marc thought he could win at any time, but I proved him wrong. Still not sure if that's a good thing or not...
This song was based on a Dr. Tran video called Toy Cack that you can watch at www.BeyondGrandpa.com. If the song doesn't make sense, watch the video first and then you'll understand.
