“Tiny Pieces of You”

via alka:
"wanted to give you a heads up that Roger O'Donnell is giving away a free download off of his new release (that i also appear on) for xmas!

in his words:
sometimes the absurdities of the record industry amaze even me but it saddens me when musicians get sucked into the vortex in their search for fame and fortune. It never works, never ever but they still try...

So here's a free song that my label and I would like to give away for Christmas. We don't have to ask anyones permission to do this because we think alike and we just love music and we would rather people got to hear good music.

This song is very special to me, I wrote it during a very difficult and moving period in my life and it is dedicated to the love I have for one person and what she went through. She is a special shining light.....

Yet, another simple theme

YouTube via attorks
"Yet another interesting Redshift-like sequence. But I seem to lack the ability to make it into something beautiful like Redshift does.
Three different sequences, an 16 step sequence on the Synthesizers.com with one of the VCO's going through the Ian Fritz 5Pulser, an 1 and later 8 step sequence for the MFM through the CGS Steiner filter only using the Low Pass, and a 8 step sequence for the Nord Lead doing the bass. A simple melody and chord schema I made up in a few seconds which in my opinion does not do justice to the potential of the sequence. But, perhaps I will record and develop this later on."

Linus and Lucy - A Snoopy Buchla 200e Christmas Tune

"Matrixsynth asked for contributions of synth-oriented holiday music, and my sister was in town and wanted to go to the Charles M. Schulz museum, so this Vince Guaraldi song was buzzing through my head, anyway. I grabbbed a MIDI file off the web and tweaked it just a little. I couldn't decide if this was a good thing to do to this poor song, but it was sort of fun."

You can find the track on Chris Muir's http://www.xfade.com/Buchla/B_Sides.html
