I'm like an old person now

wizard cave of battles is a real place, I've been there

Camp Compo 2014
entry # 5 / 8

the horrible horrible news

Camp Compo 2014
entry # 1 / 8

not even really a secret

I don't actually write songs I just make sounds

yea I did two tracks mess with me
repeating phrases + noise = dark ambience (?)
and skeleton themes

warmest autumn ever part 2

past the point of no return, and there's nothing there

we say "minimal" but it really means "i didn't have time to fill in the rest of the song"

ocean or space

the world may never know

a song not made entirely of loops? how strange!

guess how many instruments I used the answer is one

if you wanna hear my improved and seriously extended thing from last week it's https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/49572078/Binaural%20WIP2.mp3

headphones please, drug music for your brain
i ' m e x p e r i m e n t i n g

i Am the best

tribal trumpet thing ?

technique

semi-bonus, I had started the midi, and chosen some instruments, but a lot of sound design and all the effects + vocals were during

pardon the mixing

'murica

I have to practice

nuclear or a falling out with a friend

spanish translation: para él (get it you guys it's parallel)

today was my first day of school since last wednesday

While I nodded, nearly napping, suddenly there came a rapping,
As of some one gently Mackling, Mackling at my chamber more

music ideas, didn't develop

you're welcome

humans can't breach our defenses, don't be ridiculous

I made this with my computer muted the entire time

enjoy

I had trouble with this

How are you supposed act now that you have all this power?

srs

6 different bell defaults
100% no fixing mistakes

idk honestly

Turns out he's a pretty chill dude

3hunna

I finally got a full midi keyboard, all improv no fixing (except effects)

also repost http://ducksunlimited.deviantart.com/art/OHC-5-395244324 art for albums

Short and sweet, because I fell asleep

10 minutes, 1 instrument, boom bam bop

yes

spoopy

yes. improv.

Wastin' away, but uh oh those summer nights
(a-well-a-well-a-well-a) Tell me more! Tell me more!

I'm back from camp hi

fuck the theme
I was making this in the "living room" and one of the guys gave me a bunch of stipulations. 17/8, C minor, 65bpm, have fun.

new techniques new experiences new sounds

little shortchanged on time, whatever

I got in at 10 and then internet didn't connect until 10:19 so here

The internet at camp is dick, but I managed to connect at 9:30, so I came up with something. Chances are I won't be here next week, but we'll see

what happens when a bunch of musicians share a skype call and try to make music?

I'll tell you it ain't pretty

ancient civilizations and cool things

I made my first good synth from scratch the other day, and then I edited that to make 2 more synths, and then those 3 are the only ones I used in compo

I love this one man

Remix Sketch/WIP #1

I'm tired

ding dong

Why bother writing my own songs when I can just steal good ones

blargh

Nothing's sexier than Mozart

(please ignore the noises that sound like someone sweeping)

Just a disclaimer - the first time I actually heard this piece was tonight within the confines of the hour, so, I think I did a pretty good job for almost sightreading

Literally the opposite of the theme

I'm out visiting schools, so I compoed in the car like 3 hours earlier, stopped in somewhere to submit it. You're welcome.

I forgot what key I was working in halfway through. Enjoy~

Alternate title: Love Has Gone (Original Mix) by Ducks Unlimited

Netsky has nothing to do with it.

NEVER GIVE UP.
NEVER EVER.
NEVER EVER FOREVER NEVER.
FOREVER.

Also I made a song thing (+ video!) you should listen to it:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s2HFFgqzxi8

Dim lights in the sky

I found this note thing
and then I added effects to it

*pazaow* Music

I was at this How2GetIntoCollege thing at school, which ended about 20 minutes ago, so have this.

Fresh Start - Fresh Techniques

Trying out some new stuff.

Probably my most emotional entry yet

It was me. I was the apocalypse all along.

You walk outside to see the freshly fallen snow, covering everything in sight in it's thick blanket.

Trudging out into the cold, you walk for quite a bit before sitting down to rest. As feelings overtake you, you lie down, reveling in the feelings of a good snowfall.

The bitterness seeps through your clothes as you realize how cold it truly is. It's time to get back to the house.

aka Sleep

1) Accidentally hit some keys
2) Really like it
3) Get a new instrument and do it again, a bit more purposefully
4) Add song stuff
5) Effects
6) Effects
7) Effects

Thanksgiving, family, not home, turkey.

One day, Larry the Cockroach is scuttling along, having the time of his life (as cockroaches tend to do)

But then Larry made the mistake of scuttling into the Kitchen.
Needless to say, shit when down.

Spoiler Alert: he dies in the end or something

I was gonna add a shitton of quack samples, but I decided it would've ruined the track. And I actually kinda like this one.

I've been really uninspired lately

Oh, whoops, I accidentally plugged my collab group. Darn.

I realized at some point that I had made a song exactly like this one, so I tried to change it so it wouldn't be exactly the same, then I was all "Wow, this really fucking sucks" and so I gave it up but finished it anyway.

Swarm = fast, right?

Arrgg, out there be monsters!

Symphony 206: OHC
https://dl.dropbox.com/u/49572078/OHC206%20Symphony.mp3

This is that story I said I would write, without the story. I finished it before last thursday, but I never got around to writing the story because of school. The plan's to record a dramatic reading of it in time with the mix, but I realize now that I'm gonna have to edit that sucker a bunch to fit the chapters an' stuff in time. So, you get it now.

I had a dream I was a pirate, okay?

What does a man among the stars feel, looking back on the planet he once lived?

Fear is an imaginary concept
but the imagination is a powerful thing

Yes

Now this here is -real- science

Kinda strayed from the theme a bit, but, whatves.

Whether it be in space, in water, or suspended in time, all you need to do is just . . . . . . . . chill.

Song

The forest is no place for a wayward soul. Stumbling around in confusion and fear, with only the stars for comfort, you feel as if you're going to be trapped here forever.

Alas, in the dark, the faintest of lights appear.

A moonlit meadow, a small oasis in the world. Solace at last.

The reality of the situation encroaches on your peace, but such trivial matters like Survival no longer matter.

You are home.

Why yes, I did steal that title.
Why yes, the singing /is/ atrocious.

I sung and mixed, Jappy did everything else. Cheers/

Shut the hell up

Once upon a time, there was a young laddy named Ducks. And this young laddy, he was -- fuckit.

ROLL IN THE KARAOKE MACHINE!!

Gentlemen http://bit.ly/yqxHC1
START YOUR ENGINES!!

I got my computer taken away. Luckily enough, I snuck onto someone elses and made up a quickie. Ignoring that fact, I'm definitely gonna work on it more, 'cause I love it.

If it's not obvious enough already, I gave this OHC a whopping "Screw You" and did whatever I wanted.

Enjoy~!

How oddly appropriate, ain't it? Anywho, I was busy doing....nothing. Yea. Slipped my mind, whatever. So I made this. Have fun!

Wonder, awe-inspiring sights, the triumph of science.

A wonderful world, teaming with....nothing.

And then at that moment you realize just why no one does this.
