Travis Hallenbeck "Untitled 3" (Tom Moody Remix) [5.7 MB mp3]
This song by Travis Hallenbeck was made with Sound Club, a piano roll style music editor for PC. I rearranged the order of the parts slightly (by messing with the audio file) and added one echo-y beat. I really like the tune and the samples he's using here. This and a couple of his other Sound Club compositions can be found on his website.
...describes this as "some lowbrow thing. improvisational / progressive / blog house / bmore / french touch / regional mexican": [7 MB .mp3]
Let's make that description even more polyglot and add some of the German minimal house such as Losoul, particularly the repeating vocal sample (and even early Paul Slocum). Some very tasty, morphy bass things going on in this mainly call and response voice sample piece. And you could probably dance to it.
"Distortomatic" [mp3 removed]
The rhythms are "Shermanized" beat demos from the Sherman filterbank website. The melody is played using a Sidstation patch called "Distorted." This is pretty gnarly on the whole.
"Orbit 9090" [mp3 removed]
Demo mp3 samples downloaded from vintage synth site ("synth mania"), cut into loops, loops are beatsliced and made into song (the tempo changes thrice - from 107 to 113 to 121 bpm - this was a pain to program) with drums and "extras."
Those mid 90s synth patches are just so happy and peppy!
"Cosmic Anomic Dancehall" [mp3 removed]
This is a remix--the crazed, distorted lead instrument is a performance by Travis Hallenbeck (mp3 no. 2) from his tracks page. Apologies and thanks, Travis.
