Remix: Leodora; inspired by Lord Tophet



Here is a great remix of my song Leodora entitled "Jax (Leodora remix)". This remix was created by Subliminal, a great remix artist who posts his material over at ccMixter. I'm really blown away by how good and different this remix sounds. Subliminal really outdid himself. He took the backwards guitars, that were initially a small part of my original mix, and really put them front and center.

Check out more of Subliminal's music here.

Sci-Fi Song #17: Sundog




Sci-Fi Song #17 is an electronic instrumental that was inspired by Bruce Sterling 's Schismatrix . If you want to know more about the book, here are some interesting reviews and thought provoking discussions:


Here are some of the tools that I used to compose this piece of music:
  1. Apple Logic Pro 8 recording software:
    • Logic's included ES1, ES2, EFM1, and Sculpture software synthesizers
    • For this piece I sampled the sounds of a kickball, brushes against a drum pad, a plastic Coke bottle, wood scrapers, and a slap-harmonic on my acoustic guitar to create the library of sounds that I used for my percussion kit, which I then processed and sequenced using Logic's Ultrabeat.
    • Logic's included delay and reverb plug-ins.
    • Korg NanoKey MIDI controller

Hope you enjoy it,
John Anealio
