Buzzsaw & The Shavings
Mission Beach Hears a Mirthful Tiki 05:12/192k
It must be stated that wood, even devoid of the garb of paint and the precision of the artful chisel at length illustrated a toothy grin must bray hilarity both over the three hundred governments of the Holy Roman Empire and the three attempts to still a wholly roaming Buzzyloop loop entire.

Zebra Mann
Eulogy for the Restless Dead 13:44/128k
Every time I listen to the music on my mp3 player, I get the urge to remix many of my previous sound sculptures. First one down, several more to go.

Hidden Voices part 1 05:49/128k
The first song to come out of my Hidden Voices project. Each selected portion of submitted loopage was slowed by at least 25%, and most were amplified many times to bring the hidden voices out. This is the first of who knows how many more. Thanks to all who submitted sounds. I hope you like it.

Buzzsaw & The Shavings
Inummerable Giddy Orbits in Amontillado 05:00/192k
Affability, conviviality and affirmation grow to maturity upon a sun-lit patio, circling about an axis of sherry, and useful emotions to maintain and vanquish their opposites, inevitable as this mix is soon to be played.

Explortation Recuperation 04:00/320k
This one follows/continues/builds on part of "Explortation Meditation". I think it just uses one Tapegerm loop, and even that one's been mangled up a bit. Credits: Chuck Hoffman. Genre: Bloody Hell. Created: 08 Jan 2012 09:30 AM. Plays: 9 -->please comment (2).


Distant Trains
Explortation Meditation 09:38/320k
Part of an album in progress called Explortation, loosely built around jamming on top some old tapes of me mucking about with a guitar and digital delay, but also finding some Tapegerm loops getting sprinkled in. They don't come in until about the last 1/3 or this one; I think they came from the 12-pack project and some other package. I can probably dig up which exact loops they are if requested.

Blind Mime
Metamorphosis (watching from another room) 05:15/256k
I recorded opening and closing an iron cage in an old slaughterhouse in downtown Salt Lake City. It's where I store GAJOOB submission material (it's been climatized). I found an ARP2600 app for Android that is extremely unpredictable so it's very well-suited to my tastes. Zebra Mann's bass loops have been wrung through various effects.

Zebra Mann
Hidden Voices part 1

"An excellent study in the sounds that are within sounds Zee. You have uncovered a whole new world for us to enjoy. Well done. And thanks for using my Coagula file."
-- David Fuglewicz (on 01/30/12 21:00:16)

Omnitechnomatrix
Traces Of Life

"Such a masterful, beautiful stroke of music making. If I think about the title, perhaps it's like life bursting out. Seeds of change at the moment of explosion."
-- Blind Mime (on 01/30/12 20:01:42)

Omnitechnomatrix
The Tunnel

"Setting the Wayback machine to... back in the late 60's and early 70's there was a movement to wed classical and rock, many name bands like Deep Purple, Spooky Tooth, Procol Harum, Al Kooper's Blood Sweat & Tears and The Nice made excellent forays into the genre. "The Tunnel" stands right up there with those bands and carves a spot all its own. Quite a surprise too Cory, a different vehicle then most of your masterpieces, proving to us all that you can work many different genres with a unique style all your own. Very well done."
-- David Fuglewicz (on 01/25/12 20:10:11)

Zebra Mann
Hidden Voices part 1

"Well, one voice is definitely obvious in this piece, Mr. Mann. I can clearly hear the ghost of Carl Jung telling me to go to sleep and dream about Rick Perry telling me to drive to South Carolina and clandestinely vote for Newt Gingrich and Sarah Palin in the Republicrat Primary. Then of course, Jung tells me to swallow the dose of cyanide that I have waiting in the Heart of Dixie Cup. I have been avoiding the internet, so don't look for me here much, but look for me in your own dreams. "

-- Zebra Mann (on 01/13/12 01:03:04)

Blind Mime
Metamorphosis (watching from another room)

-- Zebra Mann (on 01/13/12 00:57:46)

Michael A Cosma
The Mutant Plan 91

"Very interesting piece, the mangled voices are fascinating, and listening to this made me grin like a deranged gargoyle. I hope that was your intention. I think I may have to look and see if I have that Plan 9 from Outer Space DVD around here and watch it again. "
-- Zebra Mann (on 01/13/12 00:48:10)

Distant Trains
Explortation Recuperation

"Is it weird that I find myself singing along to these tracks? Incidentally, if you credit the loops you use (author and/or project) your recording will show up on those profile and project pages. It's cool to hear how source material changes and evolves from track to track. and I love where you're taking things. "

Buzzyloops in actuality
by Buzzsaw & The Shavings

At last those promised keyboard loops are available in the Buzzsaw Open Source loop page, ten in total, although they bear hopes of a much greater number that the craft of others shall overcome and obscure an edge so rough all soft and yielding surfaces break out in chasms three counties away. :)

New keyboard loops, with style
by Zebra Mann

I've recently uploaded 20 new keyboard loops, and they come pre-mangled to help cut down the amount of work you have to do to them. Feel free to peruse them at your leisure, and enjoy yourself. They will be labeled as excerpts from 160, 161, etc. If all else fails, check the date. That usually helps. :)

The eagle suffers little birds to sing
by Blind Mime

I'll be recording an album at Tapegerm starting tomorrow. This morning I was thinking about that and thinking about a title. I wandered around a few title generators on the web and found myself following a generator which had me looking at quotes on wikipedia and I came across quotes from Shakespeare's Titus Andronicus. There are lots of horrid visions in Titus, meat for many a cruel noise meal of titles; but I settle myself with this: The eagle suffers little birds to sing.

The eagle suffers little birds to sing, and is not careful what they mean thereby, Knowing that with the shadow of his wings He can at pleasure stint their melody: Even so mayest thou the giddy men of Rome.

Tomorrow begins.

Buzzy Board Boon

After an age of employing the notes and chords and looped arrangements of others, through the esteemed and celebrated Herr Mann, I have attained a keyboard and am making furious 'dischordant' salutations.

Hidden Voices
by Zebra Mann

I am looking for some interesting loops/recordings of everyday sounds that can be manipulated by slowing them down. I have found that some musical notes as well as other found sounds reveal hidden voices/sounds/noises when slowed down to the extreme. I would be interested in doing this effect on sounds anyone could send to me for a compilation project. Email me a small sound file that you would like to submit to this project. Not all sounds will be able to be manipulated in this way, but I will let you know which ones work before creating the finished collaboration. Let's find the hidden in the ordinary and mundane.

-->please comment (6)

"Zee, you should add this to the Projects."-- David Fuglewicz (on 12/01/11 20:26:29)

"This sounds interesting - I want to do this - where do I send the sounds - "-- Michael A Cosma (on 12/02/11 11:09:17)

"I decided to record some sounds for this and I uploaded the videos to YouTube and the wav files to SoundCloud. You can find the wav files here: http://soundcloud.com/mudballrecords And if you click on the track to get the full information the video links are there. The files are the ones with the name LMNF in them. More to come as I recorded several more but no more time to upload tonight. "-- Michael A Cosma (on 12/03/11 01:16:16)

"I love slow sounds. I recently did a collab with Dan Reaves where I sent him slowed-down toy xylophone which sounds really cool. I'll upload some stuff."-- Blind Mime (on 12/05/11 09:29:40)

"I recently joined sound cloud to make my sounds available to a wider audience. Here is the link, let me know if it doesn't work. http://soundcloud.com/zebra_mann"-- Zebra Mann (on 12/05/11 11:20:35)

"You may, of course, take any sound in my open loop directory and alter it."-- Blind Mime (on 12/22/11 08:27:29)

I have finally made it back to TG and am going through listening to all the recent mixery added for the past few months. I may not comment on them all, but be assured that I am listening to them and enjoying them all. What a fine bunch of folks I have fallen in with here.

WELCOME NEW ARTISTS


donjuan writer
I always enjoyed the merging of music with well-chosen samples .. good dialogue, philosophy off the beaten track and so I now write lyrics/poems that are good-humored; concise.. I've had much positive feedback on my voice and so I intend to offer some sample recordings to those of you that are looking for some talk to lay over your audio sound-scape.. I can spot cynicism at a thousand yards... Website:


Distant Trains
chuck hoffman is a musician based in des moines, iowa, a member of various bands and things that resemble bands only superficially, and an obsessive music nerd with a preference for the unusual. his music activities are relatively free of commercial concerns since he makes a reasonable living writing code for web sites; lucky for him, he has a passion for that too.

My name is Wordcore. Future Team is the name of my band which hasn't formed yet. Website:

Omnitechnomatrix & Mental Anguish
Knowing each other & appreciating each others styles of electronic music for the last 10 years Mental Anguish & Omnitechnomatrix have at long last teamed up to record some live home studio recordings.
