new album out today weeeeeeeeeee https://alexpieschel.bandcamp.com/album/songs-for-strangers

my brother cut & synced some live footage from a recent show to one of the songs from my new album. the effect is strange, but I kinda like it

i like this one too. i think this is a good strategy for making music in itself, but it could also be interesting to try to superimpose lyrics on a later draft of the song. i think the david lynch stuff is often both (sincere and ironic). the Just You performance is a perfect example of this to me. James appears to the audience as sort of a laughable character, and the love triangle circumstances of the song are comic, as well. But his performance of the song is so saturated with melodrama as to be creepy. I feel both amused and creeped out by James' level of sincerity when I watch the video.

this is pretty! i like the lyricless vocals. v heartfelt

released a new single

planet noise

thanks so much! You're actually the first person I've heard to pick Waitin' Around as the favorite track! It's the only one I recorded by myself on my computer (my sister did the backing vocals). love your description

oh my god thank you for listening & for posting. it means everything. and YES IT IS A DIRECT REFERENCE TO DANIEL JOHNSTON.

Will post more ambient stuff as it comes, but this is probly a better representation of what I do & how I perform live: https://alexpieschel.bandcamp.com/album/waitin-around-ep It's an EP I recorded with friends on a four-track cassette. Hope to expand to a full-length album by the end of this year!

This is very pretty & soothing! I like the transition to eighth notes around 1:30. How did you record this?

Yeah, I'm gonna try to compress it some. At first I kinda liked how the clips got caught in the delay loop, but now they seem kinda much, and I think they might be more intense on some speaker systems.

I like the irreverent vibe of this album, and I like the sound of the guitars. For that price range (or any price range actually) I would get somethin old school. The Yamaha DX7 is rly cool even though it's from like 1983. It's got midi connections too. I'm a big fan. http://www.vintagesynth.com/yamaha/dx7ii.php. It has really nice piano sounds and can also sound like a laser and also has a very supportive online community with tons of sample packs and some tools for making sounds for it on the computer. Depending on where you are, you might be able to find one for 250-300ish dollars on craigslist. Because I don't live near any music hubs I found one online for like 300 and got it shipped to me. I just started learning keyboards too; it's my first synth and I love it.

hey friends, lookin for a place to share & discuss music. I'll start workin back thru this thread and listening to stuff that's already been posted. I made this tonight: https://soundcloud.com/apieschel/fall-remix001 I took a track that I made with a Yamaha DX7 synthesizer and a cheap Boss loop pedal, then loaded it into Reason 4.0 as a sample. I ran the sample thru one of the echo reverbs in Reason and recorded myself messing with the echo effect settings while the sample was playing. the result is......a lot of delay

lmk if anyone finds anything outside the factory

My favorite GIF is of Synderrblok. Beautiful animation. I DID NOT KNOW about the 51st game!! Did I really never click exit? I guess we can never leave..............
