In Conversation With Rain [s o n i c b r a t]

Have you ever watched the rain from the comfort of shelter, and these little tear drops hit helplessly on your window pane... as if they are yearning for you?

Today it rained magnificently. The rain washed our land as it cleansed our tired souls, sending whispers that slipped into our concrete lives impishly. I had a conversation with the rain. But it ended abruptly. A mindless improvisation in response to what the rain told me; with no form nor structure, just reactions. It's an imperfect track that's random... but I guess that's the beauty of it...

A home brewed DIY minimalistic video clip of the track, using my mini casio digital camera, oh well... :) Do listen with headphones, thank you!

THE UNSPOKEN TALE OF RAIN

It tapped on my window
Asking to be let in...
Told me a tale of tomorrow
And slipped away unseen...

At least some fun

Using the BOSS RC-2 as background

Yesterday, I was jamming alone, trying to find a way of putting an electric bass on my forthcoming new version of Light Tube ().
I'll probably add this bass melodic line or something similar, but it was actually also fun, I wanted to play the idiot for the video.
The background loop is performed by the BOSS RC-2 (the bass line was by myself).

Light Tube Bass 3 - Twango

Some Updates: s o n i c b r a t

Phase II had ended. So while we try to find a new direction for Phase III, we are on a hiatus. Taking a break from it for awhile. As you can see we will be updating on our own little ventures in synths, gears, softwares... music and sounds. So while being away, we will continue to load snippets of stuffs here.

I have been meddling a bit with my Doepfer A100 Modular system. Hooking up my "modularly modded" Roland SH101 to it. I am still quite new to this but I am definitely having fun, the old way :). I have yet to record stuffs down due to work commitments. But here's some pictures for tease. Will upload a demo track once I've done so.

Between the phases : Eric August 3rd 2007

Aaahhhh, I wish I could sleep a moment under the trees of LDT's land ...

But not for now.
Now is between the phases ... between phase II and phase "what?"
So let's have fun with some new (hardware/software) gear.
I purchased DrumSynth plugin for FL Studio because I discovered that some parameters could be tweaked in real-time ...
