Eulogy for the Restless Dead Remix (German Mix) 12:01/128k
This is another version of my Eulogy for the Restless Dead series. The vocals are provided by Buzzsaw, reading three selections of poetry from my Perfunctory Movements novella. He translated, and then read them in German. The man is worthy of great praise. The loop from Dave was from his Multimedia procession wound its way down the stairs pausing once to reload. The loop of mine was a bit of my Spiders Lair song. Both of them were softly and carefully mangled in the Wave Pad music program. Credits: One loop each from Dave Fuglewicz, Buzzsaw & The Shavings and Zebra Mann. Genre: Abstract Ambient. Created: 10 Feb 2012 05:04 PM. Plays: 4

Blind Mime
the eagle suffers little birds to sing 05:35/256k
Buzzsaw uploaded some piano loops. One of these has been slowed and processed to achieve the bed of electronics. Merged with that is a field recording offered by Zebra Mann and the Loopy Spiderz of rain and traffic. A wall of reverb was added thereto. Further into the piece an analog bass enters haltingly, an arpeggio using and android app called Nodebeat picks it up and I play percussion on a table and a tambourine. All sorts of fun on a Saturday morning. The title is from Shakespeare's Titus Andronicus. For project-18. Credits: music by bf baker. source files: piano by Buzzsaw, field recording by Loopy Spiderz. bf baker: Nodebeat android app, bass synth, wood desk, tambourine.. Genre: Abstract.

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.

Stupid
Yup, shaved my head during New Year\\\'s, regretfully... --
D. Howse
In addition to the sampled loops derived of a trampled keyboard I have bestowed upon Germania, I have also recently installed tempestuously passionately vocal loopiness over Popes of Roman antiquity in the CountDuTen Open Source page, If your mix tempts the irreverent, these loops are indispensable... 
Long time no see... one could say. Just want to re-connect a little with the wonderful collective of Tapegerm. Have been doing so lots of different things the last years but it is is unavoidable, and surely I don´t want to avoid it either..., I always come back here in different ways. Sometimes for doing a fast mix, more seldom the last years to make some loops and samples. Now with this new interfaces that the core members of TG has implemented in the web interface TG is more than well suited for a lot of collaborative experimentation. I surely want to check this out now! Both by participating in the projects popping up, but also by proposing some myself. We´ll keep in touch!! :-) ... yeah, and what about the rabbit... hmm... i dunno really, we´ll see
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.
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.
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.

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. After an age nearly as long as me residence in Germania, I shall be adding to my Open Loops folder tardily repaying abundance...gads, did that sound ominous...
Enter the Daphne Oram Tribute competition hosted by The Science Museum/OraMix on SoundCloud. Ten sound files of Daphne
Oram recordings are provided and the challenge is to create a new composition using those sound files. There aren't many restrictions, here's the link for more information, etc.: http://oramics.herokuapp.com/ Unfortunately, there are only six days left to submit a work, I just read about it yesterday.
Someone requested that I add more bass guitar loops to my open loops folder. Your wish has been granted. They should be all uploaded by first thing Tuesday morning. Glad that you find them so mix-worthy. :>) You can find the new ones labeled as series 155, 156, and 157.
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.

Rather pleasing and validating to see 5 of my co-compositions in the vital 20! Here is a video created by Welsh artist Scott Gently for Mann's lastest masterwork.
http://youtu.be/v9agyPVQD5w
After finding a used Yamaha portable keyboard for a great price recently, I sat down to play with it and had more fun than should be possible for humans. I've recorded over an hour's worth of me messing around on it, and the first batch of many more keyboard loops from yours truly will soon be on their way. They will be labeled as KBL and a number. KBL = Key Board Loops. I may have finally found the instrument I was genetically engineered to play!
I've added the four loops I used to create the sounds for "Beautiful (Skin Deep Mix)" to my Open Loop folder. I also deleted some older ones from 2010 but will be adding them to my TG FTP folder. Jeremy Gluck and Cathrine Wanczycki wrote the words, Jeremy did the vocals and I did the rest. Here's the link: http://soundcloud.com/tapejerm/beautifu It's coming soon to Tapegerm too.
AutoReverse maestro Ian Stewart was nice enough to Interview me. Here's the link: http://autoreversetoinfinity.wordpress.com/2011/09/02/interview-with-dave-fuglewicz/
I've been playing around on the Ibanez bass guitar again, and this time, I did it in the house. So the loops are much lower in volume because the dog hates the way I play. You will find them in my Open Loops Folder shortly. They are labeled A30 thru E30, but the letters don't mean anything, they are simply a way for me to keep them in some semblance of order. Because without order, you know what we have, yes, we have ice cream!

"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.

"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 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:
