Buildshit detector

multi track improv in ableton live. using bass, guitar and drum loop samples

Bulb

Nothing much to say about this. Photoshop, obviously. I'm using some basic comps like this as the starting point for some semi-abstracted pencil drawings, worked this one up to be a bit more finished

2basses2

Bass, prepared bass and prepared guitar. (crocodile clips, bolts metal plate cello bow). 3 tracks improvised one at a time. no editing.

A trophy

 This didn't quite turn out how i wanted, but the point of this blog is to be a warts and all doc. so i'm posting it.  I was going for more of an unreal/false look, (maybe something like old school special effects?). As it is it  feels more like a failed attempt at a convincing photoshop job. Also the left hand side of the composition just doesn't work. I might work some more on it and see what comes out of it.

4track improv. in live

An ableton live improv set using 2 guitar tracks, bass track and a drum sample

Glove

Photoshop drawing. Another exercise in a monotone style. 

I like the almost woodcut effect from using a basic 

round brush shape with 2 tones.
