So, I've been messing around with some home recording on my Mac...
and somehow in the process decided to write an instrumental concept album based on the Cassini-Huygens mission.. it's completely a self-amusement project, but my wife talked me into putting some of it up online, so I'm building a myspace page for it.. i have a couple rough clips up, and I'd love to get some feedback. I'll probably be tinkering around with remixing everything for ages, but so far I;m kinda liking where it's headed.. here's the link if anyone would be so inclined. Thanks!

Was any of that pre-fab, or was every note and beat original? After listening to all 3, I'd love to know the details. What software did you use?

(and please delete "Tom" from your page! ;) )

2. Right on..thanks!
I recorded it all on GarageBand (iMac). Basically all the guitars are me playing, and everything else is loops that come with GarageBand. And, hehe.. yeah.. I just got rid of Tom.

3. I love concept albums!
I am working on one myself, based on the life and works of Robert Louis Stevenson. Your stuff sounds really great! I would definitely listen to a whole CD of it.

Grammar note: "Experiment 2" is a collaboration between "my wife and me," not "my wife and I." Other than that, the page looks super.

4. Pardon my crudeness
but these tracks are fuckin' great. That's really immaculate work, with a whole bunch of hints of different genres but it ends up sounding really unique and totally assured. The only feeble suggestion I have that some of the keys sound really dry, to my taste anyway. Some reverb here and there would just deepen the bath of sound a little. But never mind that - this is just real good, seriously good.
