Made/posted this tune a couple of years ago:
"Love Reconstituted" [mp3 removed]
It's kind of an "atmospheric techno" bit with analog synth burbles and a "rave hit" ending consisting of some early '90s house piano stabs. Those were reconstructed more or less note by note from this nutty remix* somebody did of this pop tune.**
As you can hear, the remix* consists of "vocal science" made from clips of the diva's voice over minimal banging piano chords. I've always really liked the energy and simplicity of it. And thanks to the miracle of YouTube (the poor man's iTunes), I recently found the "original" hit that mix was taken from, Bizarre Inc.'s "Love in Motion."** It's pretty lightweight (unlike moi) but not unenjoyable.
*"Love in Motion (Unknown Mix)" [mp3 removed] (sound quality is dicey because it was cassette-taped from a radio mix show in '92)
**"Love in Motion" [dead YT link]
808 State, "Lift (Moody Ex-El Mix)" [mp3 removed]
As a public service I removed a horrible middle section of this lovely dance floor tune that featured an abrasive electric guitar and some atonal stuff completely out of step with the mood. Will take down if anyone objects or if there is too much bandwidth.
"Theme Nine including Untitled 2" [3.3 MB .mp3]
A saxophoneless "Theme Nine for Saxophone" with a Sound Club tune of Travis Hallenbeck's sutured into the middle. The pads are from Project AKO (a 4Hero alias), mid '90s. The drums are cut up Les Baxter.
Title inspired by the inner sleeve of the first King Crimson LP (1969 - vinyl release), where almost all the songs had "including" in the title: "21st Century Schizoid Man including Mirrors," "Epitaph including March for No Reason and Tomorrow and Tomorrow," "Moonchild including The Dream and The Illusion," and "The Court of the Crimson King including The Return of the Fire Witch and The Dance of the Puppets."
"H.M.M.J. 1" [5.6 MB .mp3]
Collaboration with Travis Hallenbeck: he came to my studio and we played a "live MIDI" set.
A desktop computer plays MIDI files that we prepared in advance of the jam. One channel goes out to my gear: the Sidstation synth and Mutator analog filter. All the rest of the channels go to Travis's setup, which includes a midi mixer and Roland MT-32 sound module (see YouTube demo and this diagram).
So it is a live performance in the sense that the computer is dispensing a stream of MIDI on-off notes and we are changing settings on our gear in real time.
I was recording the performance, and did some minor post-production mixing, mostly for EQ and levels.
