I NOTICE ALOT OF PEOPLE DONT POST ANY DOWNLOADABLE MUSIC OR PICS ON THIS SITE. ITS MOSTLY JUST LINKS TO THIER MYSPACE SITES. I LOVE TO SHARE MY MUSIC AND WOULD MUCH RATHER HAVE IT IN ROTATION ON YOUR MP3 PLAYER THAN HAVING TO GOTO A DIFFRENT SITE FOR NON-DOWNLOADABLE MUSIC. I AGREE THAT MYSPACE GIVES YOU MORE AND I HAVE A FEW MYSPACE SITES BUT COME ON PEOPLE LETS SHARE.

goto matt b or gabriel kane vs matt b on this forum to download tracks and check out pics.

Would you please be so kind as to type normal lowercase messages.

Another thing is: why do you need two accounts here for the same thing?

Apart from that there is plenty of online music and pictures as well on this forum, just take the time to browse around a bit.

i have two accounts but they are not the same. one is my personal site with my original electronic music-mattb , the other is a project with a friend of mine-gabriel kane vs matt b. as for the site, im mainly talking about the introduce yourself section. it seems not many people have posted much except there myspace links. i have poked around further and have found some great stuff. tracks, info, reviews. i guess im a stickler when it comes to representing yourself. thats just me. i will keep plugging away and plugging in....this is a great site. check out my music and diffrent projects, let me know what u think. thanks for the comment.

Electronicsoul,
There are surges of Mp3 posts here that wax and wane, in some kind of occult cosmic cycle. Yet, quality over quantity.

Kassen, I've never heard your music. Maybe this post is a good thing after all.

Electronicsoul, first you must journey over the mountain of death. Then, you must pass through the valley of sorrow. Then...if you survive...you can download my track.Then, and if your eyes are of an eagle, and your heart is of a feather, you may gaze upon my photograph.

Laura Woodswalker
Thanks for the uplifting comments!

Basically, it's an Epiphone Sheraton run through a Line 6 Modulation Modeler, the a Morley volume pedal, then a Line 6 Delay Modeler, and into a Lexicon Omega Desktop unit which plugs into my E-Machines computer. (I had to look at the disc notes to see wht epuipment I had when I recorded it.)

The Water Surface series (there are 5) was a group of recordings I did for Wakulla Sketchbook. I view it like an Art 101 assignment, draw a water surface.

What did I do? Hmm. I'll try to answer as best (and honetsly) as I can. I am at work and I would have to go home and reload the data file to disect them. WS 2 is a few loops of guitar playing, some running forwards and backwards at the same time, some just forward. There is a setting on the Delay Modeler that you can run a delay, similar to a sound-on-sound effect I used to be able to get with an old Sony reel-to-reel. That produces an initial echo delay to play with. Then there is the loop station setting that you can record up to 28 second loops (they advertise it as 14 seconds, but if you hit the half speed button...). Then after recording the parts, I just lay them together as different racks on the mixing software (Cubebase, I think you have that software as well). WS 4 is very similar, just not as cluttered. I actually performed that one live (or at least a resonably similar version) at a gig once (or shall I say at my one gig.) Restraint is the key word here.

I'll put up one for you on VIRB. Look for "The Chrystallized Delulsion". I had read a segment in a book on clinical schizophrenia on the subject. Defined as a delusion which remains consistant over a long period of time. Alot like the main charecter in "A Beautiful Mind". The piece is constructed from guitar loops. The Epiphone Sheraton (my only electric for quite a while) was tuned to an open D. That was necessary to play the guitar and control the mouse at the same time. I now know it was an unnecessary process, I was a experimental newbie when I did this one (not that I know it all now.) Anyway, I wrote out a series of picking progressions which would be the same played backwards or forwards. "Musical palindromes" is the term I use. I took eack track and reversed it, and then matched it with the forward track. The idea was to have each note with the attack in the center, insted of attack-decay-sustain-release, it would be release-sustain-decay-attack-decay-sustain-release. To my suprise, it all seemed to match up better than I though it would. It appeared that the attack was either hidden, stiffled or vanished. The end result was a long drone, which sounds like different insturments playing in unison. Some have heard organs, sitars, guitars, piano, sine wave oscillators. My favorite comment was an elderly southern woman who said "This is really wierd. It changes, but it doesn't really change!" The illusion was successful. The VIRB page has a short sample. The disc version is 79 minutes. Good for meditating (or extremly stressful days at work).

BTW, Just added info on the disc "Oenyaw's Comedy Divine" to the Virb page. A whimsical musical based on Dante's Inferno. Two tracks: "Pazuzu and Captain Howdy Meet Again" and "They Rock All Night At The Ballrooms Of Mars" are available.

I'm sure under the Audio dropdown menu you'll find reverse audio, but I've always found it a bit easier to work with single audio tracks in audacity.

It's very useful to get used to working in multiple programs at once, and luckily audacity is free. While its not as intense as most programs out there, it performs the simpler of functions really well: reversing audio, making things louder/softer, etc.

Delusion/illusion/halucination.

Laura, take a look
http://line6.com/stompboxmodelers/dl4.html

As far as reversing, cubase. Duplicate the track. Left click on the duplicated track and "Process" and then "Reverse". Then line em up.

As far as the extremely long sustain/delays and lots of reverbs...
Delay Time and Repeats are knobs on the Line 6 delay modeler. A bit of practice with those knobs and a volume pedal, get comfortable with backing of the volume and reseting the repeat, bring in the note slowly with the volume pedal, ect. It's actually not as much playing technique as it is patience. If you got a loop going, listen to it. Bring in each note carefully. Take your time. Become the synthesizer, that's the way I look at it. I learned synthesizers back in the late 70's, but never bought one.

Alot of the stuff are one track recordings. Duplicate the track to make it stereo, add a slight Pantheon reverb to simulate "space played in." On the VIRB page, "The Chrystalized Delusion" and "They Rock All Night At The Ballrooms Of Mars" (can you tell I'm a big Marc Bolan fan) were multi tracked out the wazoo. "Vladivostok Girls" and "The Sun, The Moon and Talia" and "Mammon Spake" had a few tracks. But the rest, hell, I've been getting lazy. That's one of the reasons why the tracks are getting shorter. "Idyll Idol Idle Ideal" was a really fun one to do. Completely "live".

Oh, I've also got one of these...
http://www.americanmusical.com/Item--i-LEX-MX200-LIST

I was actually looking for a reverb pedal, and everyone I found was limited and over $100. When I found the processor, I got it for $150.

One more thing. When I started, I used the effects (modulation, filters, delays) on the Cubase software ALOT. I got to the point that I had no confidence on performing. I hardly use any of them now at all. Another thing that helped me was getting to the point where I would plug in and hit record and forget about it. If something works, great. If not, deleate. "Cut and paste" has replaced "splice and dice."

I hope this isn't all too pretentious. It's just that no one ever asks me anything, and I love to talk about it.
