Such a great building track. This kid is coming up for sure.

Let’s buy an upright, drink coffee, and learn every Satie piece we can.

One of those songs that urge you to put on your best headphones and levitate.

Just got back from spending 6 weeks out and about. A few weeks with relatives in Chicago and Southwest Wisconsin and then a month out in beautiful Seattle. While in Seattle I was asked to play a few shows as a live member in Memoryy. I haven’t played live since being in Seattle almost exactly 2 years ago so i’m totally looking forward to getting back on stage, feeling nervous, and also not having to pay for drinks.

If you happen to have a Tascam US-122 or other US type audio interface and you are trying to get it to work with OSX Mavericks then this post should come in handy.

The current drivers on the tascam website don’t work. They didn’t output any sound from the computer. These beta drivers worked for me

Over the last year here at Creepy Bird i’ve been trying to clean up my musical workflow. Along the way I came across a snag.

Vintage drum machines all seem to work quite differently and in the early days there wasn’t much if any consistency on what note assignments certain sounds should be given. Such as the kick being generally C1 (36) these days. What I wanted was to be able to take a drum beat programmed in Ableton and have it correctly play on our 3 midi capable drum machines.

tl;dr
NoteChanger is a Max for Live plugin that simply changes one midi note value to another.

This guy is too good.

Christian Löffler hails from Germany. Loving his track titled “Beirut”

Doing some Sunday explorations with the quirky Casio CZ-101. Certainly an underrated synth.

This is a short glimpse into the 2007 recording of “S/T” in Seattle, Wa.

I just posted my first release from back in 2007 for a free download over on bandcamp. It’s not a great representation of where I am currently at musically but it surely shows where I began experimenting with electronic based music. It’s baffling how long it’s been.

In order to have a nice place to hold several synths I put this synth shelf together. It was a fairly in depth process for someone lacking many carpentry skills. The interest started long ago when I saw an mtv cribs (yep…way back) episode displaying Moby’s studio and synth collection.

Since my departure from Seattle in the fall of 2012 I’ve been busy trying to plant myself in the beast that is NYC. This process has taken a considerable toll on my free time for creativity.
