Music - Improv - Trek Across the Desert

The final posting for May, 2023!

This is relatively long, and toward the end I went crazy with the pitch bend, because, why not?

Music - Improv - Sneaking Around

Did I just post that I felt like I noodled around a lot in the previous post Pay in Advance?

This is a slower version of that kind of noodling around the same rhythmic bass.

Music - Improv - Pay in Advance

I'm going to guess that I used to sit down and play something like this a lot, just sort of noodling around.

It almost didn't make the cut because it's pretty raw, timing-wise. But I managed to listen all the way through the long meandering bits. And I feel like I wouldn't mind sitting down in the future and just noodling around like this.

Music - Improv - The Ether is Real

It starts our mellow but then I went in for a lot of 60's synth bleeps and blurps which are reasonably well integrated musically ... I think ...

Music - Improv - Property Theft

I feel like this one was inspired by Tangerine Dream's soundtrack for Thief, hence the name!

I saw Tangerine Dream live in Concert at the Irvine Meadows. Holy moly those dudes have a lot of gear.

Music - Improv - Flight and Landing

This is pretty simple and chill. A little bit of filtering fun with a rhythmic bass.

Music - Improv - Midnight Seduction

Hey! It's another one with my little motif in it.

Also - I think this is kind of cool - I'm playing the arpeggiator like an instrument, changing the chords (sometimes down to just one note) as I play the melody.

Music - Improv - Humdinger

I'm running out of stuff to say about each piece.

Music - Improv - Tension Headache

Short fun with pitch sweeps.

Music - Improv - Swirls

Fun playing along with an arpeggiator.

Sounds like two passes to me.

Music - Improv - Sunrise - Long

This is a long piece based on my little motif.

I love to fool around with this when I sit down at the keyboard.   

Music - Improv - Sunrise - Short

I have a little motif I like to fool with.

This is a short piece based on it.

Music - Improv - Stomach Gurgling

I posted this one ... somewhere ... sometime ... in the past ... and a dude mashed it up with two other pieces! 

His post: http://groovytimewithdjuseo.blogspot.com/2008/01/stomach-churner-smeske-vs-ceolceili-vs.html 

Ah, bummer! 

The place he posted his mashup went off-line.  Maybe it's in the internet archive somewhere.

 

Music - Improv - Trapese Artist

More analog funk.

Music - Improv - The Anal Probe

I think I'd just read a book about alien abductions when I named this one.

Lots of analog goofing in this one.

Music - Improv - Pea Shooter

Oh my, happy music!

Music - Improv - Flying Home

Sometimes I wonder how some of these would sound if a real pro arranged them.  This is one of those. Someday I might hire someone (a real pro) to transcribe one for orchestra just to see.  Luckily I know someone who is great at it.  :)

Music - Improv - Space Wine

Contemplative! One pass with multiple keyboards.

Music - Improv - Soaring

Who doesn't like white noise passed through a modulating low pass filter?  And some pitch bend too!

Music - Improv - Short Sketch

This one was an experiment with unstructured music done in two or three passes.

For some reason this one sticks with me.
