S.E.T.I. ‘Light Displaced’ version 2

Here you will find a free download of some new S.E.T.I. material. I have been working on a lot of new material and hope to release something in the first quarter of 2010.

‘Steppe’ and future S.E.T.I. recordings

I’ve been neglecting this site somewhat, posting quite a bit of download release info, but never really engaging the visitor – I apologise! Newest material I’m working on includes a S.E.T.I. track called ‘Steppe’, after a story my sister sent me. As we all know, the Russians have a long history of UFO sightings, well now it appears that they have UFO’s under the sea too! A very worthwhile subject for my investigation. The track is approximately 8 minutes long, with haunting sounds aplenty, and some great Ableton-mashed up Reaktor sequences.

There will be more tracks like this to come, and once I have a big enough collection, I shall be looking for a label to release them into the wild.

For those interested in the technical nature of my S.E.T.I. work, this particular material uses Ableton Live as a sound production and mixing environment, with other sounds being supplied by Reaktor, Reason, iPod Touch running Jasuto and Plogue Bidule.

Karl Bartos remix/White Cube gallery

My remix of tracks from ‘Esperanto’ can be found at Karl’s website here. Scroll down to the January 24th entry. You will also find an explanation of how it was constructed there.

New location, new setup

We moved house in August and are still sorting through many things but my music and sound system is beginning to settle down. The end-of-2007 setup includes: Logic 8, Metasynth 4 Pro, Ableton Live 6, gleetchlab 2.3, Reason 4, ixiQuarks and various plug-ins and editors. My newest sound projects include a remix/mashup of Karl Bartos’ ‘Esperanto’ album tracks for his forthcoming virtual exhibition, and new Lagowski and S.E.T.I. tracks. Hoping to digitise some very old Nagamatzu cassettes and VHS video for the new year….should be fun! In the meantime, Mrs Lags and I will be enjoying the new TGV box set and CARTERTUTTI album

Ableton Mashup 4 – DLL Mix 2

This rocks
Play it loud

DLL mix 1

DLL mix 1 is a track that was bashed together in Ableton Live 5. It uses snatches of Hebrew and Cantonese dialogue, a DLL file converted into audio with Audacity, some NASA guys talking, the Live 5 drum box ‘Impulse’ and maybe one or two effects :-p

This is the first quick mix to see how the elements fit together.

First Ableton Live experiment

I Show Good Bit is my first experiment with Ableton Live 5, mixing various beats and samples from my collection. It uses voices from Apollo 13, the Space Shuttle and beats/sequences from Reason 3.
