BONUS MICROPOD - ambient piano and cloud study

mixtape of original tracks, beats, exercises and experiments, mid-may to early june, 2020:

track 1 - "box of rain reversion" - i found stems for classic dead tune on american beauty and slowed it down, pitch-corrected the lead vocals, added lots of wet fx,   

track 2 - "already a distraction" - shiny high def resonator and filter staccato chord blasts like the cool kids are into mixed with strange breakbeat chops,    

track 3 - "wandering bodyguard" - samples of that viral "south east asian man who sings numbers in a soulful r&b style" from tiktok/youtube inna drifted cloud of organ drummachine beat and bellow style,   

track 4 - "bordering on blah" angular guitar, strange DMX drum machine beat in odd time cycle, big ambient swell, obtuse fuzz solo. overly complicated and therefore short,   

track 5 - "won wet wednesday" - a drifty samba dream on a murky cloud, strange wisps,   

----

tracks 6 thru 10 recent rap instrumentals (failed):   

track 6 - "dark truth" - darker brooding break beat that was intended to be like golden age PE/ jungle brothers study, but probably ended up sounding like DJ shadow, lol,   

track 7 - "red sauce" -  neptunes/timbaland/missy inspired beat,      

track 8 - "why ballin" - early 2000s Juelz Santana / diplomats new york new jersey fitted hat and puffy winter coat type beat,   

track 9 - "bamboo sheets" - early 2000s cam'ron, early kanye pitched r&b sample type beat,   

track 10 - "pompous kings" - early 2000s NYC style swizz beats / Jadakiss pompous new york mc telling you why he's the best type beat, 

-----

track 11 - "warm water feeling" - nice laconic emotionally vague flower,  

track 12 - "organbeat may20th" - wandering lounge foliage with early eno/fripp backwards snake guitar noodles.

A small capsule collection created in one day. 

Everything in the world has been weird lately.

Last week, I turned 44 years old.

Today I made several micro songs.

I hope your weird world is well,

I watched the Miles Davis doc made by PBS. reminding me why I chose the trumpet as a kid. Although it was In A Silent Way and Bitches Brew that forever changed the way I think about music when I was a teen, here in my 40s its his final burst of creativity in the 1980s that fascinates me.

After years of reclusion, he became somehow more humble and open about himself while draped in loud, garish, funky avant garde garments of the 80s haute couture. His paintings... reflecting a sort of wry sophisticated afro-funk post-modern primitivism, seem willfully and playfully naïve. Underneath, above, around and beyond all of it is the music - a sly lithe and airy approach to the modern synthesized sounds of the times. It might be so much projection onto the past, but he seemed unafraid to embrace the tepid, mauve-hued MIDI tonalities of the day to render musical flurries that are at turns tough, elusive and sublime.  Under the pressure to live up to the caricature of himself as an "intense, dangerous and adventurous auteur", humbled by health problems, bursting out of a depression that lasted years....he becomes playfully funky, bemused and inspired by his new context.

All in all, an inspiring display of renewal and a return to the joy of growth into the unknown.

Anyway, here's some of my stupid music.
