"Hal McGee open loops???" you ask, perplexed as you hear none of the familar strains of the ethereal theremin. However, they are there, trust me, used almost exclusively to sculpt this sonic creation.
Taking Hal's theremin loops, I converted them to MIDI and opened the MIDI files in Fruity Loops and had some interesting fun with them in there, and layered the loops together.
Also present is my own voice, also translated into MIDI and further twisted with FL. It created a space language all it's own. Credits: Hal McGee Open Loops. Genre: Experimental. Created: 14 Oct 2005 11:48 PM. Plays: 581

This is not my first attempt at trying to do a cover song (you should hear some songs I mutilated on my early cassettes!) but this is the first one that turned out well enough that I thought others might want to hear it.

Taking two guitar loops from Blind Mime, I put them on a homemade space shuttle and launched the shuttle into the deepest depths of the galaxy. When I got the first radio signals back, this is what I heard. Credits: blind mime open loops. Genre: Experimental. Created: 28 Sep 2005 10:45 PM. Plays: 520

My name is Jeff Stoneking. I've been recording home made music since 1990, starting with just a Casio keyboard and a tape recorder. My first modest efforts were spotty, at best. I even gave up recording for a while because I could not get the sounds out that I wanted.
In 2005, I found a way to record and manipulate my songs digitally, giving me far more control over the songs I create, and helping me to create songs the way I had wanted them in the first place.I have since then created six CDs of home made music.
