PASSCODE: The Curse of Ayosire
Toymakers Onell Design have put together a third interactive flash game entitled “The Curse of Ayosire” set in the wonderful world of their sci-fi action figures, featuring music I wrote for the 30 songs in 30 days challenge from last fall.
You can also check out the entire PASSCODE series here.
With the exception of the notes, this track is almost entirely controlled by a single pass of pitchbend data. Each time you bounce the song, it sounds different. So I bounced it a couple times and mixed them together!
MP3: HMHS Britannic
30 Songs in 30 Days has taken a back seat to other priorities, but here are a few little ditties that I’ve put together over the last couple of days.
MP3: Backroads
This is a little fingerpicked acoustic guitar number I was messing around with; would go lovely with some vocals one day.
MP3: This Call is Important to You
This is an experiment in creating a new series of sonic limitations. There will be more of this in the future. I created a new drum kit for this track, and I ran the final product through my cassette player to give it an older, warmer sound.
MP3: Saints Hospital
This is a similar experiment as the previous, except focusing more on FM instrumentation. I whipped up a couple new FM patches for this.
Another one coming shortly!
This is a bit of a follow-up to the idea from the third piece for 30s30d, “The Battle of Vyazma” … more focus on ostinati-like guitar riffs and athletic drumming.. I could potentially see this idea melding with the prior one or acting on its own as a followup/sister piece.
MP3: The Battle of Varna
So today I decided to do something a little different. Or perhaps really different. I decided to rummage through my library and find some unusual things, put them together, and see what happens. What you have are monkey balls, paint cans, an organ sampled through an SNES, some big percussion, bells … I think that’s it.
On November 9th some 30 years ago there was a false nuclear alarm. People thought the Soviets were about to bomb us, but they didn’t.
