well done inquisitive surfer. you have discovered my bonus notes: general additional ramblings about my tracks, of interest to almost certainly no-one.

Buzz = Machine for modular digital composer; see www.buzzmachines.com. _______________ too cold to snow: notes _______________ Sound sources (all with some degree of buzz/soundforge processing, often extensive) - beats Samples: various - bassline i3: "Disco Bass" (preset, + analog distortion and band filtering) - cello drone / strings Buzz: M4wII - "hipCello" (me) - pad 1 i3: "SteamCloud" (preset) - pad 2 Buzz: Infector - "sketchyc pads" (me) - soaring pad i3: "SpaceWing" (preset, + sonic verb) - plucks Buzz: JGuitar - electric piano i3: "Whirly" (preset) - piano i3: "Piano 8'" (preset, + sonic verb) Story One of the tracks on my last EP, "sruti marta layah pita", was written in a rather distinctive fashion. Mashed out of my head, I felt like making some ambient, and in three hours it was done. In a similar state two days ago, I decided to try and do the same thing again (being rather sick of spending several months on each track). I didnt quite manage it - it took me about 10-12 hours instead. Still, I'm very pleased with it, much more so than most of my tracks. I think there's a lesson there... ;-) I wouldnt be surprised if it comes across as happy to some people, but I think its bleak as fuck. Notes Straight outta buzz. Begun - Mar 27 2002, 3:00am.
