froggy proggy progress
New drums, new bass, new whole bunch of things, but not new vocals. Still need to work on those!

Blender 3D Llama 01
After doing the iconic doughnut and chair modelling tutorial, thought I'd try modelling something of my own. Lots of cockups corrected too late, during the sculpting of millions of triangles (and n...
2021-02-06 22:27:04 +0000 UTC View Postfroggy proggy (extended)
Took a couple turns with a bossa nova bit, noisy synth solos, and a jazzy ending. Of course, I need to record the vocals properly with lyrics, redo the sloppy bass and chords (I played it on the sp...

The music set-up isn't quite as ergonomic as I first thought; not unless I have two chairs anyway. But it is indeed capable of making noises and I'm learning the new workflow. It IS better, at leas...

My attempt to "remember" the surreal colours I saw during a walk til I got back.
I started by picking the most neutral part of the view (to me that would be the middle of the sky there)...

Repurposed another desk for the music set-up so I can use the old desk for the animation stuff, huzzah! Still need to finish writing the next cartoon and record the dialogue for it, but I'm really ...
2020-12-09 22:28:14 +0000 UTC View Postovercompressed sampletrak nuttiness
Bit of music from The Goodies with a disco beat plonked on top. Was just testing if the Sampletrak inputs and outputs were working in the patchbay.

Got MIDI working again, so of course I exploit that ability with QUANTISATION!
Obviously just some noodling with frequent false starts and out of tune "aah"-...

Actually when scribbling little sections of a story at 1am I don't bother with designs, only enough information to distinguish one character from the other.

Drummy Time's one of those songs where I like half the ideas scattered throughout but not the other half, so I'm starting with just the stuff I life. I'll probably change the drums too one day; the...

Moved house, and I'm very glad there's not a giant beam halfway across the room for me to bash my head on. Looks like there's enough room to set both my music desk and animation desk too! Just need...

Tune from 2015. I kind of want to go back and experiment with this tune more, although it'd mean rerecording practically everything so maybe not.

Trying out acrylics and ink since I thought the bright opaque colours and texture would go nicely with the ink lines. (Rubbish smartphone picture's cos the scanner broke.)
Anybody know if the...
2020-10-19 16:09:11 +0000 UTC View PostSQ80 noodle
This thing has not just split-keyboard but a sequencer too, so I can do my own backing to noodle over. Rather therapeutic (by the time I got to recording, my hands got a bit tired). Some SPX90 gate...

I've not played this game (I don't need the stress) but a friend does.
2020-10-12 12:44:00 +0000 UTC View Postmood (and doodles to demonstrate various CSP brushes)
Someone asked about the brushes I used and ended up getting one. Once I'm happy enough with the versatility of my brushes (and found a way to "host" them) I'll make a download for you folk!

Not much to say about this 'cept this is all the music I really have time to make the way things currently are. Still I enjoyed making it.

Tho the heads a bit badger-ish, just a quick sketch so I didn't bother looking at actual photos of skunks nor bandits.

Mucking about with CSP brushes again. Things may be quiet here for a bit (I know I keep saying that). I'm going to be moving house again (kicked out, but this one was shite anyway) and got a lot of...

Hour noodle. This is what happens if I listen to late 80's Queen, sorry, but could be a potential seed for a future song.

Around a decade ago (when charity shops/boot fairs actually were rewarding) I got an Atari ST computer with Notator MIDI. I still think it has the best quantiser and just generally worked right awa...

I don't know why I default to abstraction when I'd rather get into caricaturing what's actually funny about a real metal dustbin etc.

Getting evicted and finding new place etc within the next couple months, so apologies if again it gets yet more quiet. Thanks for sticking around those who have done though! I have big plans, once ...

To be honest I sample Roobarb a tonne (Johnny Hawksworth is a genius), but here's one that's predominantly Roobarb sounds. Mixed in mono 'cause my set-up's been messed up again while I wait for the...

3:22 is the most different, with Erebus funk bass, reharmonisation (unfinished), and a "drunk" beat.
Abyss is only a codename btw, named after the synth I started this tune with. I'm pissed '...
