Music for an Imaginary Landscape

The winds blow as the moon rises into the sapphire colored sky; its light is reflected in the mercury pools below.




In addition to the material I recorded I also used the following sound from the Freesound Project:
K3 [135BPM]
Breathy Glitch Noise
Horribly Mangled Text
Metallic Screech Drone

Please, I'm Trying To Help You

It's just a bit of musical nonsense.  It's a tad percussive, but not exactly danceable.




You can download it here, if you like.

Created in Ableton Live (8) In addition to the bits I recorded, I also utilized a couple of sounds from the Freesound Project.

Synth Stab 14-2 
Synth Stab 14 
Why Don’t We Begin? 
Tell Me Why You Are Here 
Please, I’m Trying To Help You 

Subaquatic Particles in the Stream

An ambient texture song that can't quite decide if it's ominous or comforting.  The title was drawn from my Nonsense Prayer.  In addition to the material I recorded, I also used a couple of sounds from the Freesound Project. 

High Notes

Our Chimes 

Finger Cymbals

You Were Darkness Once

...but now you are light (Ephesians 5: 8)



I used a sound from the Freesound Project:
Cello C

The Balthus Effect

The Balthus Fields, - strong pockets of nasty radiation - were an unexpected side effect of the Balthus Effect which left most of the major cities uninhabitable. The rest were destroyed by more conventional means.  Humanity, what few of them remained, fled into wild places, and subterranean caverns. And in the many years of their absence decay overtook all their remaining works.  Concrete crumbled. Buildings collapsed.  Iron bridges rusted and fell with a crash into the rivers they once spanned.

It was the Balthus Effect that did it.  We know that now.  The scientists responsible for developing the weapon tried to warn them; they said that they needed more time for further testing.  But the leaders wouldn’t listen.  They rushed the Balthus gun into production because they thought it would save them. Instead it doomed us.  But they were desperate – and ignorant. God forgive them.

I recorded this dystopian soundscape by creating a random tone generator played with played with some strange instruments.  I recorded three different versions of this random noise and then layered them all together, 1) to the left side, 2) to the right side and 3) in the center.

January

Cold ambient music for a cold January day.

I used one sound sample from the Freesound project:
Church Bells 

Pat Robertson Says "Let's Go Surfin' in 2014"

Pat Robertson - never one to learn from his mistakes - has released his latest predictions for the upcoming year. In his crystal ball he's seen chaos (he always sees chaos), a win for the Republicans (now he's just being redundant), a credit crisis caused by China, and a surfin' president Obama.

Sounds like fun to me.




Pat Robertson Says "Let's Go Surfin' in 2014"




 And let's not forget the time that God told Pat who was going to win the election, but Pat said that he probably shouldn't talk about it.

To create this little song I used a couple of sounds from the Freesound Project:
Shivvle
Odd Xylo
