ANNOUNCEMENT

The biggest uproar in minuteland since the fibonacci minutes! The thing people can't stop talking about! It's...

THE MEETING OF THE MINUTES
* part II *

PAM-PAM-PAM PAM PAM!

So Kojef and i have agreed to patch together a set of minutes like the one that started this blog. Now our first project was okay, this time however? This time we'll put Beethoven to shame! We'll make the Beatles redundant! John Coltrane will be reduced to a mere footnote in music history! Brace yourselves people, for something extraordinary is about to happen! Mwuhahahahahahahaha!!!

Okay, i'm going to take my medicine now. I was running out of exclamation marks anyway.

song idea

Just a late night idea. started it on the train coming home. Oh so tired. Must sleep now.

Another one

had the microphone and laptop all set up, so churned out another little fragment. Cheesy for sure, but i think it's kind of catchy indie-folkie a la super furry animals or gruff rhys or something. Anyway, that's tooting my own horn a bit too much, true keywords = repetitive, dumb, cheesy.

JKT040: Cheesy folk-pop

been a while

So I thought I would post something. Song of mine that i usually play with lightwires, thought I'd just lay down a quick acoustic version and stick it here. Not as original as the other minutes here, but oh well.

Lonely Nights:

Azo004

Another minute from Azo! Good stuff, eh? Kinda reminds me of Joy Division somehow in the way it projects its atmosphere..
AzoMinute004: Komodo

Yet another minute!

This one another gift from our good friend azo.. What a voice, eh?
Azominute003

Well look who's back

It's me. Here's a random minute. Happycheesystyle. Bassline came to me in the shower. Hissy laptop-mic'd guitar recorded in the morning before work. Oh, and how it brings the cheese!

JKT039: Jappycheesystyle

51 & 52

This week i've been haphazardly sampling odd bits and pieces from my music collection. Here's a little collage i made using some of that material.

LawrenceMinute0051: In Three Parts


And the following closing statement:

LawrenceMinute0052: Addendum

0050

LawrenceMinute0050: Yes-No-Public

0048 & 49

Tinkering with a Daniel Johnston sample. Also sampled a recording of a Laotian courtship song, Frans Bruggen, an old klezmer recording, Slayer and a recording of the Kalahari Bushmen. Most of it is done in Live. However i did use some loops that i made earlier in Reaktor. Posted this before but then i worked on it some more and came up with a new mix. Left the old version in case you would like to compare. Listen to the new shit first though.

Another Guest Minute!

From our good friend Azo, yet another minute to please the ears. He actually gave this to me quite a while ago, and I've been a bit of a bozo not posting it. Apologies, Azo. Here it is, world:

AzoMinute002: Coolish

Back from the Dead

Well, we were gone for a while. Now I'm back, at least briefly. Feel the need to make minutes. Here's a crappy one i knocked out.

JeffMinute037: A crying shame

A minute for the new year

Happy New Year everyone, we've been gone for a little while but it feels like it's about time to post once more. This minute's kinda cheesy and repetitive, but it's meant to say goodbye to the old year and hello to the new one. Or something like that.
JeffMinute036: HappyCheese

Osto on the biem

LawrenceMinute0044: bimp?

Bimp, bimp. Osto on the biem.

Quantum minute

LawrenceMinute0043:

Sick as a dog, throw me a bone.

Bwing on the CWUNK!!!

LawrenceMinute0042:

Crunky music!

JKT035 - Trials and Tribulations

This one goes out to an old friend of mine who's in a bit of a dilemma regarding his love life. What to do?
JeffMinute035: Confusion,Love&Psychologists


Oh, and i've been listening today to this album Stax of Funk, would love to figure out how to really emulate that old-school sound of motown-esque soul...

JKT034 - One more thrown into the void

JeffMinute034: untitled

Lately been recording vocals just one time through - figure that if I do this enough, sort of force myself to accept what comes out as a final version, eventually my ad-libbing of vocals will improve. As it is though it's pretty pitiful. Anyway, I like the rest of the mix etc., but forgive the nonsensical words.
