AGRO

This is a demo I was playing around with, focused on guitar and vocals. Sorry it cuts off there at the end, I kind of give up on doing anything more with it.

This is a great song by TV on the Radio which I have covered entirely - all vocals and all instruments -- bass, guitar, synth, drums, are recorded by me.

DAW of choice is Bitwig, with stock plugins and various Arturia synths and audio FX plugins, along with Analog Obsession plugins too.

Please let me know what you think, especially compared to the original.

This is a track I started working on a few months ago, and have been dabbling with off and on since then. Big issues were vocals -- it was originally a little too high for me to sing, so I had to drop it down a whole step. Adding vocoder, too, was fun and a learning experience.

I put my bread in the toaster.

Based on a sample from Dead Agent (https://deadagent.bandcamp.com/track/frentik) this is an experimental track that mainly adds some noodling with a Linnstrument and the first, playful use of my newly acquired Spitfire BBC Symphony Orchestra license.

Floot Lewp by AGRO

This is a cover of one of my favorite 2010s bands, The Dig. Their first album Electric Toys blew me away. I've been working on my skills as a producer and this was a great song to cover, even if it's obscure.

Guitar, bass, drum programming, synths, vocals, and mixing all done by me.

DAW: Bitwig Studio 4.4.2

Synths: Virus TI, Dreadbox Typhon

Mics/HW: TLM 103, WA47jr, Lewitt 240 Pro, Warm Tone Beast preamp

Plugins: Analog Obsession's FETISH comp (a ton), other Izotope and Arturia FX plugins.

This is a semi-serious song about my dog.

rustUp, rustup, rustup (ayy) rustup, rustup

(I'm for hire) look

Once upon a time man, I heard my code was ugly

Came from a PR comment, but it looked a'ight to me

I said my codes dope, refs tight

Stack frame a megabyte

GDB, step right

CI pass since last night

Hit them with that "looks good"

Mark resolved, green light

Drive-bys don't deserve no look-see

(I know that's right)

Big bytes bussin' out the Best Buy barracuda

Man, bacheloric Bezos back and all these drives are shucked. its

big bytes bussin' out the Best Buy barracuda, man

birkenstock Bezos back and all you drives are shucked

If rustup, then rustup, not rustup, then no luck

If rustup, then rustup, not rustup, then no luck huh

rustup, then rustup, then rustup, then no luck

If rustup, then rustup, not rustup, then no luck huh

I could make the caches hot

I could make your proxy rock

Snowden say they spying on me

Chances are they probably not

My mouse had a ball you probably lick it like a lollipop

Bros founding companies hit 'em with karate chop

I'm forever running Git

Pulling down then running it

Gotta argue with em, 'cause committer wanna scratch an itch

Coders out here playing gotta make em understand

If ain't no sig on your cert we ain't merging patch as planned

I said my codes dope, refs tight

Stack frame a megabyte

GDB, step right

CI pass since last night

Hit them with that "looks good"

Mark resolved, green light

Drive-bys don't deserve no karma

(I know that's right)

Big bytes bussin' out the Best Buy barracuda

Man, bacheloric Bezos back and all these drives are shucked

It's big bytes bussin' out the Best Buy barracuda

Man, birkenstock Bezos back and all these drives are shucked

If rustup, then rustup, not rustup, then no luck

If rustup, then rustup, not rustup, then no luck huh

If rustup, then rustup, not rustup, then no luck

If rustup, then rustup, not rustup, then no luck huh

FAANGs ain't talking with me now and I know why

low comp, weak bennies-- hell, that just won't fly

Leeches want refs until I bring it to they doorstep

Take a pitch "It's like Uber but for posh pets"

I'll work on it for now, it will never be the same

Unpaid internship, 'cause I really like the pain

Email sent with Mutt, I said "deadlines seem insane"

If that repo had a fork, I would push 'em both to main

Big bytes bussin' out the Best Buy barracuda

Man, bacheloric Bezos back and all these drives are shucked

It's big bytes bussin' out the Best Buy barracuda

Man, birkenstock Bezos back and all these drives are shucked

If rustup, then rustup, not rustup, then no luck

If rustup, then rustup, not rustup, then no luck huh

If rustup, then rustup, not rustup, then no luck

If rustup, then rustup, not rustup, then no luck huh

Gotta play it safe, huh, no face no case
