Recombinant
The last two days' tunes felt a little lonely so I combined them in a mutated fashion. 2005-02-21

Cheap and expensive
This one was done with a mix of cheap, semi cheap and expensive tools - Garage Band, Pluggo and Cubase SX. 2005-02-19

Networked networking
Not only are you listening to this over a network, it was created using one. The reverb is courtesy of Rayverb again, but this time it was running on my laptop while the sounds were running on my G4. I used a great thing called WormHole to send the audio between the two. 2005-02-18.

Wow!
Through the magic of time travel, I was able to go back and catch up on the tracks I missed. We are now complete up to today. By the way, don't forget to click on the links to the right and donate a little to the cause.

Hmmm
A few quick ones to catch up. This one is so new, I haven't even heard it yet. 2005-02-16.

Best of both worlds?
This is about as ambient as it gets. This is a remix of a bed I created for a corporate video I've been editing for the last week. 2005-02-14. I hope the podcasting side is working out. I've been editing the XML file by hand until the problem with .Mac and headers is worked out. I know I'm behind two tunes, but hey - you should see my credit card bills.

Fixed?
Archive.org is great, but the process is too slow for spontaneity. I'm trying .Mac now. It should solve the bandwidth issue, but it's a little flaky on the podcast side. We'll see how it works. I still owe you two tracks. We'll catch up soon . . .

Redux
I keep returning to this over and over again. It's the piano solo from the song "Portsmouth" from the album "Stuff." Which you can buy at the iTunes Music Store. It was recorded using an Atari ST and the Hotz Translator software. This time re-realized in Garageband. So, here's 2005-02-10.

Problem solved
The bandwidth problem has been solved thanks to archive.org. The existing links have been changed from torrents to direct downloads, so you should be able to get instant gratification now. I'm still working out all the logistics, so new songs won't start until the weekend.

Speed
Help is on the way regarding downloads. More news soon. I'll be pausing the project until the bandwidth solution is finished. I'm hoping to start uploading again by this weekend.
