Milkcrate #31 - Brian Green - "rrrrrr"

Experimental musician / circuit bender / generative composer Brian Green (from South Carolina, USA) has made a work under the standard milkcrate conditions.

"rrrrrr" is a drone piece 149 minutes long, made from the sound of clinking stones together.

"I decided to give another go at the milkcrate project as i really enjoyed the last one i did and i feel i push myself alot to do very different things when im doing one of these," says Brian.

Milkcrate 30 - It Is Finished

We've finished this milkcrate, website will be updated soon.

3rd song done and a PB

I'm currently waiting for my 3rd song to export. It goes for 19 minutes 27 seconds, and is not only a personal best for any Milkcrate song written by myself, but is longer than the total mount of music I have ever written in any Milkcrate session :D

Seb has just gone for a nap, after writing the longest Milkcrate track, ever.

It's 2:51 AM

My track is now 65 minutes and 36 seconds long.
I think it's time for a break.

It's 10:09 PM

I've written more than 30 minutes of music.
And it's just one track so far.

Can I have that with more gr00ve? I need a little more gr00ve. Thanks.

This is my 12th Milkcrate, and my first in about 2 years. Last week I dusted off my PC after not having used it in 12 months. I haven't used Cubase in that long but it's all coming back to me. I'm currently finishing my 2nd track. My first track went for a minute and a half and was made up of ambient sounds, my 2nd track has more pitched sounds and is currently going for 3 minutes.

It's 4:52 PM

Damian and I have now been writing music and manipulating the sample for about four hours. It's starting to have an effect on me, but I can't tell if it is positive or not.

It's always a challenge to work with just a small amount of source material, you can feel boxed up and claustrophobic. Or the reverse might happen - the limitations could set your mind free.

Milkcrate 30 - It Begins

Damian West and I have now started Milkcrate #30. All of our music will be made from the sound of a pin dropping.

Milkcrate 29: Noises In The Woods by Brian Green

Brian Green presents the first session of 2009 with a very special ambient milkcrate using materials found in the woods outside of his home in South Carolina, USA. Only thirty seconds of source sounds were used to construct the thirty minute work.
