Here's a short, odd...uh, thingie I recorded with my recent guitars. Not sure yet if I want to develop this one further or just leave it as a songlet.

Silly Song 2

jcharr42@gmail.com (Jason Charrier) — Sat, 25 Aug 2012 05:06:00 -0500

Here's a new little songlet that came about from messing around with various world instruments. Yes, I know it's repetitive, but hey it's only a songlet. :P

Weird Song 1 in A Minor

jcharr42@gmail.com (Jason Charrier) — Thu, 16 Aug 2012 00:58:00 -0500

And now for something completely different. Ok, I really didn't set out to write something like this tonight. It started innocently enough. I just wanted to go through sampling Logic's various software instruments. So I slapped in an ascending/descending A harmonic minor scale (I do love me some harmonic minor), set it to loop, and went around changing instruments for a while. Well, in the process of doing that, I ran across several texture/fx/noise instruments that sounded interesting. So this little songlet is made almost entirely of that simple loop copied and layered several times using different software instruments. And the sound at the very end is sheep baahing pitch shifted down an octave.

There's definitely a reason I named it "Weird Song 1." Don't say I didn't warn you. :P But I kept it short. I figured ~1 minute would be the most anyone could stand of it. :P

What if every string on your guitar could be a different instrument?

Ok, so I really wouldn't even call this a songlet. It's more of a test.
One of the cool things about hexaphonic pickups and at least this
particular guitar->midi interface is that it has the ability to send
string data on different MIDI channels for each string. This means that
you can split each string onto it's own track that has its own
instrument and other settings. So after a lot of mucking around, I
finally figured out how to do this in Logic (it's neither obvious nor
automatic). So here's the results of the little test I did. Note that
these were not tracks recorded separately. This was all a couple of one
pass recordings. No overdubbing, only some small post-recording
touchups. Except for the drums. They're just a loop. And yes, I know
the first part sounds a lot like Megadeth's Diadems.
