Description : Here's my most recent track, which was finished a couple days ago. I'm very proud of this one, primarily because all of the sounds come from one instrument. I did a 15 minute session recording my circuit bent talking computron toy onto my reel to reel. Then I recorded that to my computer, and chopped one shot glitches from the session. I left the glitches pretty much as they were, with no enveloping. Got drums, bass, synth, and vocals all from that. I think it sounds pretty good considering. From the Spivkurl album "Circle, Full Circle."

I can see why Nuada jumped on this one. It's a great piece to just jam to and improvise.

Very cool

Thanks friend! I'm glad you enjoyed this one! Congrats on breaking the 3000 review mark!

n0mad23 27th Feb 2011 22:14 - 15 years ago

Definitely the most post-modern track I've heard in 2011 so far. I love the idea of recycling sounds in music (been doing some of that myself and delighted to see others doing it too - rather validating), but you my friend go one step beyond in terms of production. Bent circuit into reel-to-reel? Dude, that's one step beyond deconstruction - almost alchemical.

This is right up there with "Clarity" for me. Outstanding.

Faved.

Spivkurl replied Unknown - 2028 years ago

Hey Nomad glad you found this track! Post-modern eh? I guess I see what you mean! Yeah it was really fun glitching onto reel to reel, got lots of that natural saturation that I love! I love decontsruction! Happy you could get into this song! Thanks for the review and the fave!

deltaaah 27th Feb 2011 21:08 - 15 years ago

ahhh so this is quite different from the remix. very glitchy start fer sure. How do you choose your instruments?? Solid all the way through and the mix sounds great. Definitely a fan of the new remix!

Spivkurl replied Unknown - 2028 years ago

I only used one instrument for this whole track, and that was a circuit bent (modified) talking computron toy. So I didn't chose my instruments so much as arrange clips of a recording session that was full of glithes. Thanks so much for checking out the original!

Crypt 22nd Feb 2011 16:28 - 15 years ago

Got to agree with the comments. Very artisic and creative. Kind of reminiscent of old industrial. I wish I could incorporate these kinds of sounds into my music. Love it, faved.

Spivkurl replied Unknown - 2028 years ago

Thanks for checking out one of my older tracks! Old industrial is one of my big influences, I'm glad it shows through in this track! Glad you like the circuit bent sounds, if you want to use sounds like this, just do a loop search using "circuit bent" as a keyword. Thanks so much for listening and faving!

I dunno what it is, but Glitch just seems to grow on ya, ya know? In small doses its like the perfect break from the main. I love the floaty quality to this. Makes my head bob (even when there are lil silent breaks). Which is what I'd say my fav bits of this are, besides maybe the main lead synths you've got going on. And the vox are interesting (though I have no idea what they're saying, haha). Cool stuff indeed! Def save/faved. Lates!

Spivkurl replied Unknown - 2028 years ago

Yeah, I love glitch! Interesting that you thought of this as floaty, I guess I can hear where you're coming from. The vox are definitely supposed to be a little mysterious. Thanks so much for the review and the fave!

Dig it. Had me rockin in the chair. Will be mixing in a few weeks again when I get home, but logged on and saw this featured and had to get my Spivkurl fix in. Kudos on the tech side.

Spivkurl replied Unknown - 2028 years ago

Glad this one could get you rockin! Thanks for the kudos! I appreciate you checking out one of my featured tracks! Off to check out your tunes!

Ioka 17th Sep 2010 11:19 - 16 years ago

nice creative intro extremly crazy reminds at aphex twin nice progressive cutting edge style! awesome how you build everything up and up! maybe the drop wait a bit too long donno oh there is no drop^^ thought there must be a heavy kickin drumset anyway nice experimental tune!

Spivkurl replied Unknown - 2028 years ago

Hey, thanks for the kind comments! I always like to be compared to Aphex! Nope no drop...haha! I'll go check out your tune!

Mosaic 24th Jun 2010 14:22 - 16 years ago

Hey Spiv

Mate I would have to say this is the first time I have heard a track like this, man I am LOVING it big time, something so catchy about it, cant put my hands on it, but this is amazing, I always know when I come into check out your brilliant works my friend, I am going to get something special and this has not let me down, great piece, fav'd...Peace my dear friend...Estefano...

Spivkurl replied Unknown - 2028 years ago

I'm glad you finally found this track, as it's one that I'm really proud of. Glitch is really something I love to make, and those circuit bent toys make it almost easy. But anyway I'm really glad you liked it! Your reviews always put a smile on my face! You're a good friend! Off to see if I can find one of your tracks to listen to.

SIXTY6 13th Mar 2010 20:10 - 16 years ago

This is weird and compelling strangly engrosing great work I like it.

Spivkurl replied Unknown - 2028 years ago

Hey thanks for checking out some of my older work! I agree it's weird, but I'm glad you found it engrossing, I think that's a good word for it. Happy you liked it, and thankful for the review!

Salook 30th Nov 2009 03:20 - 16 years ago

Caught this on the feature box thought i'd give it a listen glad i did, very raw, like to see what is in that toy box of yours lol
keep doing what you do best, inspiring, peace.

Spivkurl replied Unknown - 2028 years ago

Hey friend, I'm glad you found this one! I kept it featured for a reason, as it's one of my faves. There is a picture of the toy I got these sounds from in my gallery.

Thank you very much for listening and for the kind review!

RootsRat 13th Nov 2009 18:09 - 16 years ago

sn76 26th Oct 2009 17:08 - 16 years ago

crazy and innovative / avant garde sounds not everyones cup of tea but very inspiring..... well done

Spivkurl replied Unknown - 2028 years ago

Thanks for checking out one of my older tunes! This one is still one of my favorites. I agree it's not for everyone, but inspiring is good enough for me!

jfw 8th Aug 2009 22:28 - 17 years ago

Highly interesting and innovative use of old technology - this is a great track. By the way I checked out your gallery and I love the gadgets and gizmo's you utilize in your work. Apart from their sonic potential, they are highly interesting from an aesthetic standpoint - they look like they belong in an old sci - fi movie.

Spivkurl replied Unknown - 2028 years ago

Thank you for the kind words, this was a very fun track to make. I'm glad you liked the gallery too. I really need to take pictures of the rest of my circuit bent toys and stuff. Thank you again!

d2d 8th Jul 2009 22:04 - 17 years ago

I've toyed with reel to reels & razor blades back in '91 to create music concrete type loops. What you are doing here works. It seems the tape really settled down the tones & made them more musical. Simply brilliant work here!

Spivkurl replied Unknown - 2028 years ago

Thank you very much for listening! I love how old tape technology sounds, it can be so refreshing to modern sounds. I appreciate the review!

ZWR 7th Jun 2009 15:02 - 17 years ago

Great track, really creates a mood and images in my mind. Totally toe tapping and head rocking!

Spivkurl replied Unknown - 2028 years ago

Thanks friend! I am fairly proud of this one, considering the single instrument origin of all the sounds. I'm honored you say it creates a mood and images, as that is my goal when I'm making instrumental tracks. I though this had a bit of a tribal head rocking feel to it. Thanks again!

Planetjazzbass 6th Dec 2008 23:30 - 17 years ago

I haven't listened to much Glitch....in a way that's good..because it's a whole new area to discover and enjoy....There's a real method to this 'madness' and seeing as you actually created the instruments that made these sounds..I'm totally blown away!...necessity is the mother of invention they say..do you create your 'homebrews' with a sound spectrum in mind?...I think it's brilliant what your doing..I'm really looking forward to whatever else you'll be coming up with!...cheers planet :)

Spivkurl replied Unknown - 2028 years ago

Thanks for listening! I think when I'm bending I really look for sounds that stand out and say they could be useful - rhythmically, musically, psychologically... that sort of thing. Brilliant is a nice thing to say. I've got a couple more songs in the works right now. Thank you for taking a sonic detour with me.

toddj 6th Dec 2008 07:24 - 17 years ago

This is truley an unusually skilled creation. I can see this track being utilized in an anime soundtrack. I like the rythm it has. Ode to Arapaho!

Spivkurl replied Unknown - 2028 years ago

Thank you very much! After a couple listens, this track definitely suggested animation to me as well, unfortunately it's not my specialty. I appreciate the reviews!

rei4real 24th Nov 2008 10:02 - 17 years ago

man, this is weird ... and it's fantastic!!!
very very creative ...
I can imagine a crazy animation movie for this track.
I guess you had a lot of fun making this, it was fun to listen for me ...

peace, rei

Spivkurl replied Unknown - 2028 years ago

I'd say it was bordering on the most fun I've ever had making music. It felt like I was using my own "voice" finally. I'm not much of an animator, but I can see how that would be very cool. Thank you for the kind words!

Falter 24th Nov 2008 02:31 - 17 years ago

dude i wouldnt even know how to make those sounds. seriously. wicked stuff man. the progression the track goes thru is excellent.

nice one
Spektre

Spivkurl replied Unknown - 2028 years ago

Thank you so much! I can't take all the credit, as the Talking Computron is a wonderful toy and was meant for this purpose. This sound set will not die with this track, it's way too useful. Thanks friend.

DaMann 23rd Nov 2008 22:27 - 17 years ago

That tapping is great, is there a way you could get seperate loops and upload them to the site, I'm sure there would be many people interested in them.

Great track!

-DaMann

Spivkurl replied Unknown - 2028 years ago

I think I will make that my next loop project then. I just uploaded some other glitch loops from the same computron session as well, but they wouldn't be validated yet. Thanks for the good feedback.

Edit - I think with this track I'll be settling for uploading loops made with the soundset, and not the loops for the actual song. If anyone want's to remix though, I would provide them in uncompressed wav's. Hit me up.

Description : Shorten My Days is a deeply personal prayer about examining the true intentions behind our relationship with God. It wrestles with the uncomfortable question of whether we seek Him because we genuinely love Him, or because of what we want from Him and the world around us. It is a plea for God to strip away selfish motives, sustain us through life's battles, and teach us to live in a way that brings glory to His name.
Guitar: Nameless.
