I managed to squeeze in a bit of recording at #SingularityU, under the auspices of an audio aid to abating audience anarchy as each lecture session begins. Enjoy…

Acapella, with reverb/EQ/mixing. No words this time. Unless you count “bow”, “oo”, and “hey”, that is.

Last night I recorded some unoriginal guitar stuff. It’s not very good, but I want to publish more recordings before I go to CA for the summer and probably lose recording capabilities, so have at.

Today’s attempt at song! I still fail at writing words, so these words are totally improvised, and may or may not make sense. But I hope you will agree that the piano chords, at least, are superb. :-)

It’s been a while since I’ve posted a solo piano recording. As per usual, I made this up as I went along.

A short theme from the Wizard of Oz, sung a cappella in a very weird style. I thought of this basic idea while walking across campus this afternoon, and decided I had time to record it for your listening pleasure(?).

Hand drums, terrible electric guitar, electric piano, and terrible clarinet. An interesting mix, overall!

“Avantish” - as in “avant garde.” Ish.

This is my first recording to use the Garritan Steinway VST plugin (which I managed to run on Ubuntu Studio) - with the exception of a little test showcase, below.

Some pointless piano noodling, fading back and forth between my K2000VP’s idea of a piano and the new Garritan Steinway sampler I had just bought.

“The Little Drummer Boy.” It’s a nice a cappella version with some weird vaguely blues-inspired delayed melody over it. I’m not really sure what I was thinking.

An incomplete trance song…with slide whistle…

A recording with my (then-new) Xaphoon, which I am still not very good at playing. The intro has one two many repetitions; ignore this, please.

“O Holy Night.” Voice and organ. It’s kinda meh.
