acoustical timbres

acoustical timbres by tomcook

A batch of acoustic treats
recently bought the ableton orchestra and have been lost inside it

also some older banjo tunes and bits
i have resorted to tuning things my own way as i found the banjo played to much banjo style things in its normal tuning
i know its a banjo but i like to tinker!!
11 13 just started yesterday enjoying the amount of instruments i can bring to bear now
but will probably have to trim it alittle after the excitment has receded!!

got a sampled guzheng which is little a japanese zither (i think probably offended alot of cultures there!)
and that has thrown up some nice soundscapes to explore

also been hanging out with Martin Green too much and started writing things in hard to discern time signatures........

dance bacon

dance bacon by tomcook

Heres a new load of tunes some brand new and others lingering around
hoefully all of them released very soon with liftmusic boost tv or poke music

theres a few little gems in here things that are simple but make me happy
and others that have some nice edges shapes and slices in them

personal fave
'i am' just something mesmerising about 8 bit voices, one of those tunes you write in 3 minutes


hope you enjoy
