A track I made based around a cool loop by a guy (or girl!) named -zin- on the freesound project.   Sorry to the guys I sampled from this site - I know I mutilated your work!  The beginning is cool on headphones tho :)
Have added Fireproof Babies guitar into the mix along with a little sitar.Another track sat gathering dust on my hard drive, time for it to see the light of day.Various synth loops I've created and used over the yearsMy theremin through various effects on my guitar pedal.Recorded on electric sitar, no fx4 held notes on the theremin, roughly around C, 1 plain no fxs and 3 through various settings on my guitar pedal.   Also some "hits", what you get when you swipe at it.Enter the drone zone!A little lo-fi something I put together the other night.This is part of the [url=http://ccmixter.org/media/collab/59]Guest Guitars[/url] collaboration project.This is part of the [url=http://ccmixter.org/media/collab/59]Guest Guitars[/url] collaboration project.This is part of the [url=http://ccmixter.org/media/collab/59]Guest Guitars[/url] collaboration project.This is part of the [url=http://ccmixter.org/media/collab/59]Guest Guitars[/url] collaboration project.Something I started a long time ago, FB was just the man to help me finish it.   Can you spot the little musical joke?I wrote this song about my cat Wombles who annoyed me so much with his nagging.   Ironically he nagged me all through the recording and I had to shut him in the bathroom, you can still hear him at the beginning though.   Shortly after this he was diagnosed with thyroid problems and the pills reduced his nagging slightly, which was great until he got run over!
I think the chords are D,C,G,C.Various synth loops I've created and used over the yearsAnother Friday night productionVarious synth loops I’ve created and used over the yearsVarious synth loops I’ve created and used over the yearsI originally wrote this as an instrumental.   The synth is good old ReBirth and the guitar was recorded by taping my ipod headphones to the front of an acoustic guitar and plugging them into the mic socket on my pc.I had a lot of fun doing this. To me it somehow punches above it's weight with all the majesty of a 20 minute track squashed into 2 minutes, and still works.Various synth loops I’ve created and used over the yearsDidn't do as much as I would have liked due to technical difficulties (RIP old computer), but it has its moments.Best served with leg warmers. Pink ones.This very quickly became a sequel to a piece of music I made 6 years ago called [url=http://soundcloud.com/kirkoid/robots-cant-sing]Robots Can't Sing[/url]

Part 2.
Having learned to sing, the little robot makes his way back through the dank tunnels to the city above.   Avoiding the Cold Humans, he eventually meets up with another robot in an old factory.   He establishes a direct link with the other robot and transmits the new code he has written that enables him to sing.   The other robot goes dark, then comes alive again in a burst of sparks.   It walks jerkily around the room, appearing agitated, then stops.   And sings.   Just a short burst, then it sends a quick message to the first robot.   "We could have freedom too".   The first robot nods then climbs a spiral staircase to the windswept roof of the factory's highest tower.   He grasps the tall communications mast that stabs into the night sky, and begins to transmit the code across the city.

Thanks for all the great feedback.   It struck me that, had this been a year ago, FB would have probably downloaded it, liberally layered it with mean guitar and crazy vocals, then re-uploaded it to get twice as many 'likes' as the original.   I really miss that.Let me know if I need to turn the bass down.I'm not sure whether to turn the vocals up or not, happy to take advice - advice followed, bass on vox nudged down, middle nudged up. Thanks guys.I ran out of time to get the second half tighter, but enjoyed revisiting some of my older music software on my 2004 laptop.Just before my son was born last year, I recorded his heart beat as it came out of the monitor, with the intention of mixing it into some music at a later date. It's taken me seven months to get around to it, but I've finally managed it over the past couple of nights. 

I'm sorry if the mixing is a little off, I've also moved house and lost my speakers in the process, and my headphones are 40 years old.The third and final unfinished track festering in the bowels of my computer since lock-down. A good clear-out is good for the soul.So I found this on my computer, unfinished, apparently I made it in June 2020 and then forgot about it. I have no memory of doing it lol. It's a little rough around the edges and wonky in places, but I thought I'd upload it rather than just delete. I have no idea where most of the samples came from, or even the name, so if you recognise something as yours let me know and I'll credit you.Having done a Robot Trilogy, maybe I’m now doing a Plant Trilogy, with this being number 2 following March of the Seedlings.I took one stem from 7OOP3D’s track Halspilz and built a track around it. A perfect companion piece for Leviathan.This is a poem based on a dream I had after a local incident with a tree that looked like a chicken. It was quite random and incorporated other things too.

I saw a tree, a chicken tree, majestic in the sky,
With wings of bronze, shaped like a swan’s, soaring up on high.

It stirred a wind, a mighty breeze, that stole my hat from me,
My favourite hat, well fancy that, was snaffled by a tree.

The wind it took my hat straight up, I’d never seen it higher,
It tumbled and it stumbled round, my tam o'shanter flyer.

The chicken tree then caught my hat and turned its head to flee,
And with all haste, no time to waste, it headed out to sea.

With blowing hair and draughty ears, I gave a mighty bellow,
Giant strides, ten leagues wide, I chased the poultry fellow.

A boat, a boat, of any shape, was needed for my quest,
To start the chase and win the race, to find the chicken’s nest.

But a tree that is a chicken, with wings of beaten metal,
Would surely nest far to the West, where the sun does settle.

But would it nest within itself, being both bird and tree?
I was confused, my brain was bruised, oh for a cup of tea.

Then I can upon a boat, that bobbed on foam and wave,
I jumped straight in, and with a grin, my hat I could now save.

I chased the flapping, leafy fowl, for twenty nights and days,
My boat was bold and not too old, we met with no delays.

At last, upon a craggy rock, the chicken tree did rest,
I drew my bow and, spying my foe, aimed clear at its breast.

But though I pulled my string right back, I could not loose the dart,
This marvellous beast, though quite a feast, was nature’s greatest art.

So I spoke unto the chicken tree, and soon became his friend,
We had a chat, he returned my hat, and the adventure was at an end.
To honour this [b]Emerald anniversary[/b][green][/green], I’ve revisited many of the tools, sounds and sample sources I was using twenty years ago (it took some coaxing to get some of the software to work with Win 11) and created this piece using several samples from Sparky’s track No Tears.

I didn’t join ccMixter until 2007, but I was making music back in 2004. In fact, I made three tracks that year, and two have them have donated samples to this track (the other is totally NSFW and is built around an obvious ABBA sample).

When I look back over the past twenty years, peering back across time, I feel a bit dizzy, as if I’m looking down from a great height. The years seem to pass faster and faster, so yes, slow down.
