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

this is a little audio experiment i did a while back. i used two separate analog tape recorders, recorded three guitar tracks, then transferred them to Ableton. i really like that handcranked sound that Bibio gets, so i tried to approach this exercise with that concept; obviously, the sound i got was wayy less refined and has a really coarse skin. the next time i go for lo-fi, i want to play with some tape warp tricks too.
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

i think it’s time i buy a real mic. regardless, i made this with the bare minimum as far as equipment goes. strat, amp, computer, ableton live, and FLS. tried a couple new vst’s too, but i can’t get the guitar tone to be what i want yet. sooo, it doesn’t sound too amazing on monitors, but sounds just fine on my blackberry.
