--> I made an ep.

ive been listening to a lot of folk music over the last 6 months, which inspired me to start composing reels on the banjo, and more recently mandolin.
once i wrote a tune i would come up with a weird electronic setting for them.
You might have heard a couple of the tracks on here in the past.
it sounds like deranged kiddie tv music.

I could have probably worked longer on some of the tracks, some of the drum work is v-basic. i dont have the patience for drum programming anymore.
theres a few mistakes here and there but overall i think it works as a decent wee collection.

heres a zip: link
24 mbs 6 tracks.
the cover looks like: link

On a non-musical note I recently moved into a new flat. I now have internet, a washing machine and easy access to a 24hr supermarket.
I dont have to worry about mice or slugs in the kitchen, also no more coin operated electricity meter!!!!!
I miss the Turkish child-beating, keyboard-playing neighbour though.

Im enjoying my job at the moment, im a support worker for people with mental-health problems. It can be quite heavy sometimes, but its interesting and you get to travel about Glasgow on your own without the boss breathing down yer neck.

all is reasonably good. but the weather here is shite at the moment.
rain/wind/cold/darkness
i just need to make it through christmas and new-year and all will be spiffing.

Oh hell monty!! This is brilliant. Ive digged alot of your myspace tracks but this i can really feel.

whoops...im using kidquaaludes computer and forgot to log out.

lol

ill say it again...

i was thinking about uploading midi versions of these tracks (melody & bassline) and have a remix "competition".
then put the tracks up on my website when i update it.

anyone interested?

Yes please!

yeah i love dumping midi into reason. or a reason for dumping.

Oh, man I had completely missed this one! Completely batshit insane goodness!

I agree with the "twisted childrens tv" comment. I'm quite overwhelmed actually.

i will upload some midi files soon.
i planned to do it tonight, but i went out with some workmates.
i will do it on saturday

peace!!
