About Me

Hmmm, So I sit on this digital monster telling you about the latest frothy beast. It all came about when I just got tired of playing the same old shit we had been rehearsing for the past 1 1/2 years. You know, everything was fun and all that but it just didn't get the old effluvial juices flowing. Lo and behold I went into hibernation, got married and locked myself in the not quite ivory towers in the township of Cardiff. With devious thoughts, 2002 quicksilver model mac G4, assorted microphones and noise stuff I just decided to record anything. Bullshit, noise, loopy techno fuck, bad poetry, drunken rants, the sounds of doors creaking, I decided to just start a project with no real beginning and no real end. Essentially it's me making noise along with anybody who wants to jump into the digital brine. Scoff not you analog purist, I like tape along with the best of y'all but my friggin' hard drive is cheap. So be it. On board to date is Senor' John Bordage, x-Plastic Supermodel drummer to add some percussion and digital sludge. I also have my new wife moisturizing some new reeds for the clarinet and figuring out the bass I gave her for christmas. Down the pipe are some undisclosed local figurines adding putty to the mix. I'll give you a free hand printed shirt if you can figure out who they are. Admit it, Quakers are stylish. Since you've read this far I guess you are ready to rock or just sing yourself a beautiful childhood lullaby. This is fantastique. Why not join our merry group of noisyfriends... Happily Ever After, Doug O

The beauty of the critique

I decided to post the song on garageband.com to see what the masses thought of the latest tune I penned. As the polls opened I have been taking a beating! I find this quite fun and humbling. Damn I th...

I'm Back!

Well, I had a bit of a recording problem at Ye Olde Pretty Noise Lab. First I upgraded m os and I think I went beyond the capabilities of Logic Audio 6. Step 1, I added more ram because you can always...

Latest recording technique

Yesterday I was in an atmospheric mood so with the intent of doing only single takes on each instrument and no song written at the time of recording here is what I got. Not really a song but a feeling...

Finally another tune!

Ameliorate Me was recorded in my home studio, Pretty Noise Lab. For this one I brought in John Bordage to play drums. Yeah! Live real drums. Let me know what you think.

Drum sounds

Last night John B. was over to record drum tracks to a new song. As you know we don't like to do things just any ordinary way. John brought over a 16" kick drum from a kids set. We used a tie-down and...
