    Alterations

    Alterations
    It's been a while since I've put up any of my own music, and since I won't be able to do it for a while, I figure I'd put up some of the things I've been working on recently. There are two versions of the first song, an instrumental and vocal. The vocal version was just an experiment mostly so I could put effects in at the bridge. "Orangina" is an older song I never posted. "Up With Humans" is my imagining how Gary Numan might have recorded "Up WIth People!" in 1979. I recorded the last song in a coffee shop with my iPad. 1. The Astronaut [instrumental] (2:26) 2. Orangina (0:59) 3. Alterations (3:36) 4. The Astronaut [vocals] (2:27) 5. Up With Humans! (2:21) 6. Confessions of an Opium Eater (2:42)

    Le Mellotron - From Jazz To Hip Hop
    (MP3 Podcast on www.ParisDJs.com) 2011-08-16

    It's not news and even less an insult to say that hip-hop drew from the jazz catalog to build its empire. Le Mellotron picks in the hidden side of its Original Samples to deliver to their friends of Paris DJs a mix made up essentially of jazz tracks, dust-cleaned by the hip-hop movement, and quite often magnificiently emphasized. Will you be able to find which fantastic diggers went on a quest for the perfect sample that led them to the tracks played in this mix? We're letting you wonder… Answers will be published early september.

    Ce n'est pas une nouvelle et encore moins une insulte lorsque l'on dit que le hip-hop a puise dans le repertoire du jazz pour fonder son empire. Le Mellotron pioche dans la face cachee de ses Original Samples pour livrer a ses amis de Paris DJs un mix compose essentiellement de titres jazz dépoussieres par le mouvement hip-hop et souvent magnifiquement mis en valeur. Saurez-vous retrouver ces diggers hors pairs partis a la recherche du sample parfait? On vous laisse mijoter… Reponse debut septembre.

    Stereoscopic Sounds

    Stereoscopic Sounds
    Well, three more songs of mine before I think about putting up some more pop-psych. I tried incorporating some strumming acoustic guitar. The third song makes a strong argument for funk, especially the fact that when a person or group of people are funky, they are really funky. The lyrics, needless to say, were made up on the spot and were really just an excuse to fiddle with sound effects. What was really fun about making the song was the penny-whistle keyboard sound. I think the penny-whistle is an oft neglected funk instrument. The picture is a hotel in Fiji that's really expensive but looks like fun. A fine place to listen to the podcast. 1. With The Mermaids (4:05) 2. Submerged (3:25) 3. Funksploitation! (5:00)

    The Universe is Just Not That Into You

    The Universe is Just Not That Into You
    I’m reposting this with another song. I don't know why I felt like making a bunch of songs this week, but here they are representing my latest stuff. Probably because it's February and it's been a while since I've recorded any music. The first song started as a piano riff but of course I added a lot of organ and stuff and what started out as an eighties sound got kind of seventies. The second song was just one that kind of developed as I went along, and the third song was something I made while I was watching T.V. with the sound off and with the chords and mellotron I was going for a 60's sound I suppose.The last song has moog noises and some basic tracks from my Korg. 1. Solipsism (5:36) 2. River (4:07) 3. Terrain (3:46) 4. Frozen Air (5:04)

    More of my songs I've been working on this time. For some reason the second song sounds like it was recorded under water. I think that happened when I converted it to the podcast. Well, anyway, it's a little less than high fidelity, but the third song has lots of moogs and the last song is funky. The first song was inspired by a trip to an Indian restaurant. 1. Punjabi Dhaba (2:25) 2. Update (2:35) 3. Recovery (3:41) 4. History is Funk! (4:25)

    Hot Space Station Justice
    These are a bunch of songs that I've either been working on recently or that I made a while back and didn't post so it's sort of a mix of things and has some glitches here and there. The sitar song was the first thing I made with the sounds I had when I got them, so it's there just as it came out. The picture is a poster I have that I like, and kind of goes with the mood of the first and last song, even though there's no direct relation to the title or the songs really. I just needed a title for this episode... The first song has more Chinese flute and the whole thing is about fifteen minutes. 1. Hot Space Station Justice (3:04) 2. Did You Say "Funk"? (2:36) 3. Breathing (2:05) 4. Lurching (2:20) 5. Clouds (5:05)

    More of Joe's Garageband Experiments!
    Well, I just recently got a comment on my funk song "Confunktivitis" in an earlier podcast, and was glad to learn that there is actually a band by that name. Good to get some feedback, so I figured I should continue with another funk experiment. I used loops for the guitar parts, so if you go on Garageband you can reproduce some of the song! But beyond the looped drums and guitar, I added my own high-hat, cowbell, percussion, keyboards, bass, echo guitar, and Chinese flute I picked up in San Francisco's Chinatown. The second song is also based on a couple of Garageband loops which I just put on top of each other and they kind of worked. Then I added some mellotron, and staccato strings and looped strings to punctuate the proceedings. The last song is just a simple mellotron song with some noise over the riff. I know I just posted a podcast two days ago, but I figure I might be busy so I should get this up while I have the time. The picture is an oddly floating Chinese flute! 1. Funky Chinese Flute Tune (6:59) 2. Coma (3:39) 3. Beyond the Afterlife (4:10)

    Film Noir
    1. Poisonville (4:58) 2. Red Harvest (2:45) 3. Whisper's Joint (5:06) 4. Laudanum (6:37) I figured I had just enough space for about four more of my songs and that brings me pretty close to the limit. I'm pretty sure I'll get rid of some of my old shows at some point but for now this one squeeks in there. Only the first and last song have any sort of eerie film noir quality but I figured it made a pretty good unifying theme this time and it helped me come up with song titles. All the song titles are chapters or places in Dashiell Hammett's "Red Harvest" except for the second song obviously. The picture is from the movie "Fallen Angel."

    I know it's been a while since I've made a full podcast of psych gems, but I'll have to eliminate one of my old shows because I'm running low on space. Until then, here's a little 15 minute episode of more of my noodling. The first song is my Quinn Martin police show theme written on commission for Mark and Jean. I guess I should make it clear that it is not the Cannon theme song, which I don't actually remember. It's just a song I wrote in the style of those fine shows. The picture, however, is William Conrad as Frank Cannon, a seventies classic that helped inspire the song, although I incorporated the sound of a lot of shows (The Avengers, Barnaby Jones, Rockford Files and The Prisoner) and threw it into the mix. I did the instrumentation with my Korg keyboard which has a tympani sound and some vibraphone. 1. I Want to Be A Quinn Martin Production 2. Excursion 3. Funk Interlude 4. Is That Right?

    The only instrument missing on the first song is a sitar, but I don't have one so it will just have to stay as it is unless someone out there can lay down a sitar track and send it to me. I added an instrumental and reposted this episode. All three songs are meant to be a soundtrack to travels in a black light world. 1. Spinning Galaxy (6:51) 2. Black Light (4:19) 3.

    Joe's Garageband Experiments #8
    Four more ditties for your listening pleasure. The first and last are further explorations of electronic music. They both feature plenty of moog and the last song has the moog double-tracked. There’s also plenty of mellotron, and the korg keeping the beat. The two middle songs are my attempts at sentimental songs. Appropriate for Valentine’s Day I suppose. 1. Obsolescence (4:47) 2. Aphasia (5:20) 3. Seaham Harbor (2:14) 4. Arctic Holiday (3:32)

    Joe's Garageband Experiments #5

    Joe's Garageband Experiments #5
    This is a few of the songs I've done with the loops that come with Garageband. I figured I'd try a few songs by layering them over a repeated loop. The first song has as many keyboards as I could cram into one homage to seventies funk. Organ, clavinet, a simulated moog, and a simulated "muscat pluck," whatever that is. The loop is the basic drum track, shaker, and the clavinet. Everything else is my overlaid track, including bass, extra drum sounds and embellishments. The piano in the second song sounds like a loop but it's not a loop. The only loops in this one are the drums and bongos. The mellotron, piano, and guitar are thrown on top of that. The last song is actually three piano loops. First, a two chord pattern, followed by an ascending piano loop bridge, and finally a descending piano loop, all of which are labelled "70's ballad" on Garageband. And since I can't drum very well I used Garageband drums and percussion (except my drumming and woodblock percussion at the end over the percussion loop). The mellotron choir, echo piano melody, and guitar are my additions to give it kind of a big ending The picture is some solar coronal loops. 1. Funkmatized! 2. Secret Agent in a Moroccan Cafe 3. Solar Loops

    This is a fairly short podcast of my latest musical doodling. I figured it was time for an eight minute indulgent space jam so that's there in the middle. Then I threw on a short thing I did with vibraphone from another keyboard. It didn't come out perfect, but it has some discordant mellotron so I figured it would be good to include. 1. Splashdown (3:45) 2. Epic Funky Space Jam (8:06) 3. Vibraphone song (2:20)

    Joe's Garageband Experiments #3
    Well it seems like a good time for more of my noodling. There’s mellotron on the first and last song, but as you can tell from the titles it doesn’t really fit on the middle two very well, which are my impersonations of your standard seventies fare. The faux-Steely Dan song was the result of a challenge, kind of, and you’ll be glad to know that I’m sparing you the lyrics, which mention an El Camino and rhymes “shiraz” with “Mr. Delacroix”. However, the song features a muted trumpet solo from a separate keyboard and plenty of cowbell! Clock song is kind of incidental music. The whole thing is about fifteen minutes. 1. Phase the Answer In The Form Of A Question 2. How To Write A Fake Meters Song (pts. 1 and 2) 3. How To Write A Fake Steely Dan Song 4. Clock Song

    Another selection of my compositions put together using Garageband, most of them featuring some mellotron sounds. Usually some combination of the choir, brass, and flute sounds (give or take a sound), but on the first song I used the organ and strings that come with Garageband, and “Mellotron Song” has brass, flute, and 3 violins (no choir sound). The whole thing is about twelve minutes of mellifluous electronics. 1. Missing Planet (2:18) 2. 2003UB313 (3:00) 3. Mellotron Song (2:26) 4. Ni Fun Ni Ju Yon Byo (2:24) 5.

    Joe's Garageband Experiments
    For your listening pleasure I present to you two of my own compositions here. "Funk Song" and "Spacerock Song" which you can guess are my forays into funk and spacerock, respectively. Because that makes for a very short podcast, I have also included the Barnaby Jones theme, hearkening back to the heady days of Quinn Martin productions and the seventies. Not note perfect, but these are experiments after all. Then another cover of The Monkees "Porpoise Song" and finally my "Spacerock" song again with more distorted guitars. It's all only twelve minutes so it makes a great break from work. Also feel free to use these songs to entertain friends, liven up work, play at special events, etc. 1. Funk Song 2. Spacerock Song 3. Barnaby Jones Theme Song 4 Porpoise Song 5. Spacerock Song (distorted guitar version)
