DAY 11: s o n i c b r a t

"Nuages de Sucrerie de Coton"


The shadows palmed my eyes from the blazing sunlight...
Bearing the heat for me like a mother shielding her child from adversities...

Tempo: 85 Bpm
Colour: Pastel

Gears: KORG Radias, a little Humbucker and KORG Kaoss Pad III; Plogue Bidule

Listen to it softly... it's meant to be a quiet piece... Sampled into the Kaoss Pad III by parts and played live during recording. Guitar drone added post. It's a tough one today. I did 3 songs and the first two just didn't speak anything so I dumped them...

Feel free to comment.

DAY 5: s o n i c b r a t

"Une Distance à Part"

Guitar Original Version:

Guitar with Drum mix:

























Tempo: 75
Colour: Blue

My cheap Humbucker and KORG Kaoss Pad III

One being just the guitar track.
One having a drum track mixed in.
The drum track was badly mixed
A song a day, that's the deal.
If only I had more time...

Picture of a new dawn at my balcony...

DAY 4: s o n i c b r a t

"Une peu de Démence"

Delirium is a luxury like the calm before a storm
Like the laughters before tears
And the adrenaline rush before collapsing
Living an oxymoron...

















Tempo: 73 bpm
Colour: Multi-colour

A mini Hungarian citera, a toy piano and a chinese gourd flute; contact microphone...

Sampled using KORG Kaoss Pad and passed through an interesting reverb that makes it sound metallic (I believe is very long early reflection). The percussion was done again by slapping the rhythms on the lid of the toy piano, and clapping of hands. No synths or any other electronic instruments were used at all except for processing using KP3, all acoustics. The recorded samples were manipulated later during post and some subliminal sound designs.

DAY 2: s o n i c b r a t

"Journal Intime De Pluie"




























Tempo: 100 bpm
Colour: Green

Continuing my explorations using toy instruments...

Toy piano, contact microphone, Casio SA-5 toy keyboard, sampled through KORG Kaoss Pad III; no other synths used. Percussion done by hitting the lid of the toy piano, the clicky noise from the start is done by tapping the toy piano's lid with the fingernails and grained through KP3. Added a little sound design as well to add on to the mood.

Feel free to comment.
