In honor of Jubber’s 30th:
Jub Attack (instrumental).
|
| October 11, 2008 |
More progress.
Perhaps a bit thick on the cheese? |
| October 7, 2008 |
Just two new notes,
but way forward. |
| October 6, 2008 |
A
little morsel from the
weekend. |
| August 11, 2008 |
Done!
The Return. |
| August 10, 2008 |
Getting closer . . . .
Notwithstanding many unfinished plans, I could be happy with it
just as it is. (A pleasant surprise.) |
| August 9, 2008 |
A
groovy middle section takes shape,
with a bit of residual awkwardness towards the end. |
| August 3, 2008 |
More
fine tuning, still leading
to an abrupt ending. |
| August 2, 2008 |
Starting to
mub it up. |
| July 31, 2008 |
A
way forward perhaps? |
| July 30, 2008 |
Mixing in some
more traditional Mubba elements.
|
| July 29, 2008 |
More.
|
| July 28, 2008 |
Is
Mubba with presets still Mubba?
|
| March 27, 2007 |
Getting
closer.
|
| March 27, 2007 |
Added skeleton of a percussion breakdown
and then a cheesy recapitulation . . . almost
too raw for mandatory release, but at least
Jubber may appreciate it.
|
| March 26, 2007 |
Scrapped some annoying parts, added some
ethereal harmonies, and made the scraper more aggressive:
today’s version.
|
| March 24, 2007 |
Still working on
the
third section.
|
| March 23, 2007 |
The germ of a
third
section.
|
| March 21, 2007 |
More
progress.
|
| March 19, 2007 |
Somehow that little project for Benedetti really
got
the juices flowing. This one could take a while to
finish. |
| March 17, 2007 |
A small St. Patrick’s Day Eve “remix”
project for Snow Ghost: Legal Assistance. (The original came via Benedetti,
who claims he wants it to be the theme to some legal advice show on public access cable, or something like that.) Also a
weird version.
|
| August 2, 2005 |
Thanks to Erik de Castro Lopo, author of
libsndfile,
for making my life easier. Now I can write AIFF files and
use a better MP3 encoder on the Mac. (Still, MP3 and AAC
both screw up the very high frequencies.) Anyway,
this one is “done.” For now.
|
| July 30, 2005 |
Almost done . . .
it’s at the point where I’d be tempted to say, “you get
the idea,” if anyone else had this idea. New ride cymbal
sound.
|
| July 29, 2005 |
What happened after The End of Wisdom?
“Here’s what we do. We order one of those
mind-erasing kits.”
It’s getting annoyingly catchy.
|
| July 26, 2005 |
Funny how it seems to have just
sprouted out of nowhere
even after working on it for several nights.
|
| June 8, 2005 |
More sonic improvements, and a title:
The Last Word.
Also another piece of fallout that evaded
mandatory release.
|
| June 3, 2005 |
Minor sonic improvements.
|
| May 30, 2005 |
Sometimes I feel like I’ve
painted myself into a goofy corner.
At least it’s “done.”
|
| May 26, 2005 |
Already
more than four minutes
and I haven’t started the last section yet.
|
| May 25, 2005 |
After spending many days reworking the cache
subsystem so I can synthesize a 3-minute song without bringing
my Mac to a screeching halt, started on the song again by
resurrecting the fractgrain scraper.
|
| May 8, 2005 |
Just
how I left it again.
And again.
|
| May 7, 2005 |
Blah, blah, blah.
|
| May 3, 2005 |
Tonight’s entry.
This mp3 encoder sucks. I like the way the song is progressing,
though. |
| May 1, 2005 |
Four bars of
inspiration plus twelve of
implication. |
| April 25, 2005 |
Another
minor variation. |
| April 22, 2005 |
It gets
weirder. |
| April 21, 2005 |
It’s just
a few
bars of percussion, but it’s something. |
| April 12, 2005 |
That was easier than I thought. Now all I need
is more RAM.
|
| April 11, 2005 |
It’s the third anniversary of the main
riff in this song. I’ve been trying to
get the software to compile and run on the G5 the past few days.
|
| September 25, 2004 |
I love it when a plan
comes together.
|
| September 22, 2004 |
Hmm.
|
| September 21, 2004 |
Been working on But I Believe for the past few days,
but for now I don’t feel like complying with mandatory release.
Hmm.
|
| August 28, 2004 |
What do you know, all I needed to do was
slow it down a bit
and add some of those nagging parts my brain was always
singing along with.
|
| August 3, 2004 |
The
scrap, integrated, and other
“improvements.” Ouch, hasty mix.
|
| August 2, 2004 |
Hmm, I’ve been avoiding mandatory release. A
scrap
addition to Everyone Moves On Eight Toes.
|
| July 10, 2004 |
Working title:
She Said It All.
|
| July 9, 2004 |
Tried a bunch of little ideas during the morning
all this week, but none of them made it into
the
latest version. Ah, the fractator . . .
|
| July 6, 2004 |
Falling asleep, adding
noodles
and cheese. |
| July 5, 2004 |
Another scrap
for the TENSE LADY EP materializes
out of nowhere.
|
| June 20, 2004 |
Letting out
more
slack. Sometimes it seems discouragingly thin, sometimes
impenetrably dense. I will again predict this is done, barring the
appearance of some heroic part to lead its culmination. |
| June 16, 2004 |
Do
bug
fixes deserve a log entry? |
| June 14, 2004 |
A
small
change.
|
| June 13, 2004 |
Hmm, Consolation Prize? The Gilded Age?
The Borrowed Decade? For now I’ll go with
Borrowed Gold. |
| June 10, 2004 |
And now it’s starting to make
more
sense in a goofy way. |
| June 9, 2004 |
But still it
continues
to haunt me. |
| June 7, 2004 |
May have to let
this
one lie dormant for a while. I did accomplish the
original goal of using the awkward figure in the final
third. |
| May 16, 2004 |
Delayed
entry -- forgot about mandatory release. |
| April 26, 2004 |
Up with a toothache. Seems like I should just
say fuck it, give it a title, and call it done:
The End of Wisdom.
Heh, heh. |
| April 25, 2004 |
As it starts, I keep thinking this sounds like
the
theme to something. I like this “mandatory release”
policy. |
| April 22, 2004 |
Before it’s a majestic pine tree, it’s a big
brown stripe covering the happy little stream. Sometimes you just
have to
stick
with the stream for a while.
|
| April 19, 2004 |
Now
that’s better.
|
| April 12, 2004 |
Expansion
continues apace with a half-baked B section.
Hopefully no one is listening.
|
| April 10, 2004 |
Another
scrap.
And a
trial
addition to the previous scrap.
|
| March 25, 2004 |
The beginning of
something. |
| March 22, 2004 |
Looks like I spoke too soon. This weekend I
made enough progress on Everyone Moves On Eight Toes
so I don’t mind sharing it. |
| March 12, 2004 |
It’s been forthcoming for more than a year,
so I think it’s time to put the TENSE LADY to
rest. Enjoy. |
