Goodbye Horses

Everybody does a cover of this song at some point, I’ve heard. I did mine about a year ago and never did anything with it. I made it a rule to use no digital synthesizers in this recording. The bass is a Yamaha CP-30, the drums and percussion are acoustic, and the rest is guitars. The swelling pad sounds were achieved with electric guitars through a Multivox Multi Echo MX-312.
If I remember correctly, most of the instruments were tracked mono with a Cascade Fat Head. Electric guitars were a G&L ASAT Special Semi-Hollow and a Mirage Beram. I think I ran them through a Electro-Harmonix Stereo Pulsar into an early 90’s made in USA Fender Hot Rod Deluxe. Drums were recorded with two separate distant-miked full kit tracks (panned hard left and right) and one close-ish miked snare track, all hitting the Pro VLA II pretty hard. That’s about all I remember. Enjoy.

Update: I added a chain for one of the guitar sounds in this recording. Shows a little about how I got the sound.

“Salt” Remix
A remix I did of “Salt” by The Sailor Sequence. Enjoy the headroom.
I was planning on sharing the Live set as well, but it’s pretty large. I’m holding out to see if Ableton’s Share feature can handle stuff like this.

“Smile”
Disregarding audio quality, playing quality, singing quality, lyrical quality, and overall quality, I put this song together tonight.
Most of my gear is in several different places, so I’ve convinced myself it’s alright to make crummy recordings using the MacBook built-in microphone. The bass is the only exception, recorded straight through an FP10 pre, which I borrowed. Mixed in Ableton Live 7 without care. Enjoy.

“Rent”
This will probably get remixed, but here’s what I’ve go so far. Let me know what you think.
The idea, mostly: electronic instruments on the left, real instruments on the right. It sort of happened.
Through the Mirror: adcBicycle Revisioned
It’s finally released!
A while ago adcBicycle began working on and near completed a new album. He ended up disliking what he came up with, so he sent all the songs out to some “friends” in the “electronic music community” to remix them.
For some reason (mostly due to em411) I was one of those.
There are a lot of great musicians on this compilation, including He Can Jog and one of John McCaig’s many monikers. After I heard everyone else’s remixes I realized I did the least rearranging/adding/fun stuff to the original, but I guess it still turned out pretty cool. The whole album is great, and it’s neat to see everyone’s style influence Matt’s original idea.
Definitely check it out. It’s a free download.
My contribution is track 3, which was track 6 in Matt’s original album order, and is titled “Needs #5”. I hope that’s confusing.
I made the mistake of using “Albatrocity” as a handle again. Apparently there’s already a band or some band’s album named that. I should have just stuck with my original name. So just to make things clear:
On adcBicycle’s Through the Mirror, Albatrocity = Ross Brown.
Spread the word about this if you like it.
