It’s tough to challenge myself when there are no other gatekeepers or ‘managers’ to oversee what I am doing, coding, creating, or writing… I can freely admit this to myself. I can at times procrastinate on the more detail-oriented aspects of my career and so forth. But at the same time, I find that the…
Anything Box | 3.17.2018 Houston Set So this was my setlist for Etro in Houston this last weekend. I missed out on Jubilation because of a glitch in the system, so I am not including it here, but it was supposed to be there. Also, Hello was supposed to open the show and not Our…
FYI, the deadline for submission is Valentine’s Day! Not much to add since the rules are all in the file. So good luck! Download Stems
Facebook 1 (FB1) was the world’s first Facebook Synthesizer (it lived as an app on its own FB page at one time). I originally planned to build it for Myspace, but that didn’t fly at all. This was a very ambitious project that literally went nowhere, but it was such a great way to fend…
Anything Box is not a reboot. By releasing some of the oldest tapes I have, there are certainly some people who think the following of me: He’s got nothing new to record… Anything Box is done with… The inspiration is gone… To all three of these, I call bullshit, and I will tell you why right…
Anything Box: Unknown Destinations This is a tape of tracks I affectionately refer to as the ‘Love’ period of Anything Box, shortly after I found the name. It was to be an album of sorts, but of course, that was a bit of naive thinking. Many songs later we know what became the first album,…
Time for you to play. I spent about three weeks creating a special version of the now famous Patapap instrument for my site. I wrote to the band from Japan that worked with the developer, and I asked if they would share their code with me. I explained to them that I was probably…
As of right now, the video clip for Anything Box’s Living In Oblivion is at 984,722 views! I have a little campaign going for it to reach a million. Why do I want this? For one thing, it would be a cool thing to see. It’s not going to change my life that dramatically by…
I made this simple file to get Canon color space into my shots with the GH4. Included in the download is the LUT you can apply to footage you shoot with the GH4. I also included the PSD file so you can alter the basic converter to taste. Enjoy it! And feel free to post…
Music for a Thursday…
When I mixed Distances, I had a good workflow in Ableton (in the box). So much so that I felt no ‘need’ to seek out an outside studio to mix in. In the end though, there were some areas where I wish I had used my tube gear more, especially in the mixdown phase. Elektrodelica…
I was really happy and proud of us this weekend. It seemed as though we were actually not as rusty as I’d thought. :) We did miss Paul on that one, though
This is an old one from Tumblr… which I just recently repaired. My site there was looking pretty trashed! But it’s nice again. And in the process found out that posts from there look nice here. So I felt the song and title very appropriate. https://claudience.tumblr.com/post/64844058687/old-soul-or-just-a-newborn-im-just-an-old-soul
It’s . And this is “what’s happening” (as in alternative facts) in the White House. At least, now you know. Now Let’s have a conversation, shall we?
Play this when it’s raining. I meant to post this on Sunday, as I was a bit under the weather and these little songs seemed soothing. Now feeling much better, this collection may seem out of place. But whatever. :)
The truth is, regardless of what success or failure happens with regards to creating the work, it will never matter to me. I would like to develop a more *stoic* approach to my reactions to the praise and the negativity. This allows for me to make better choices with the projects I take on. So…
