did a little glitchyglitch on acoustic guitar and a studio drum sample. maybe r&b, maybe not

this one’s a little electronic/dance tune. naturally, i used my microkorg, sans midi again

used my microkorg to make this kinda hip hop sounding tune. i really wish i had a nice pump organ or was hip enough to play a rhodes.

this one is more smoov jazz with a little r&beezy

here’s a really simple little guitar ditty. i’m from the ol john frusciante school of keeping mistakes in the song. the point is to let mistakes go, and have them become part of the song’s character. or maybe i’m just lazy

some fuzzy bossa nova. something about uploading these audio files makes them sound goony. fuggit

yea i had a video game music phase too, so whatt. i tried to make the retriggered snare/bass hits sound like NES bad guys throwing punches and shooting machine guns, and i did a little 8 bit work here and there. in retrospect, this might not be great for phones. anyway, gater effects are a really easy way to give your long-note patterns a little life; this tune is an example of that

this tune was originally meant to be an exercise, but i decided to go with it. i’m playing an acoustic guitar, which can get boring pretty quickly, so i just tried working with unfamiliar chord expressions. i’m a drummer at heart, so i couldn’t resist some pick-up snare hits to go along with the glitch sequencing i worked out

this is from a track i did a while ago. i was going for a little dance funk, so i tried to make the guitars sound extra slankyyy

tried to get a hollow, tin sound on the guitar without taking too much away from the tone, and i ended up with this quasi-talkbox sound. the background rhythm guitar came out a little muddy, but i don’t really mind the color it brings. perhaps next time i will consider a more uniform compression. west coasttt
