iPhone 3G Speed

This beat is craptastic.

But,

if you consider the fact that the whole thing was made on my new iPhone 3G Speed 32 GB in White, it makes you think about what the future holds.  Soon all devices will just be portals into the big cloud. Phone and TV will all come from the internet and all items and things will have web access and communication. Everything will just be a screen portal to the central machine. And no I didnt just watch the Matrix.

11 Guitars

I was having trouble thinking of something to do. My other music projects were coming along slowly. I felt like playing guitar, so I decided it would be a good challenge to make something using only guitar and effects. I use a bunch of different delays. The ocean sound is a grain delay and I just rubbed the muted strings. The pops are plucking a muted string fairly hard. I time warped some stuff in weird ways, and reversed a solo that I played.

It ends abruptly because I didn't feel like thinking of an ending, and I felt that posting the whole 4:00 was a little too much for this kind of thing. It was a fun experiment. I think I will challenge myself to little games like this more often.

It sounds strange but I really do sometimes feel unnerved by dinosaur pictures. As if I really were a bit too close. Here is an example to get in the mood

I found this awesome vsti Chip 32 and decided to try it out. I made this track using Chip 32, Toad, and Peach. I am not happy with it in its current state, I probably will change some things about this song in the future.
