We're in the process of buying a house and it seems like I haven't been doing much music related exploration lately, hence the posting has been a bit sparse.  I'll have a music room that will be roughly twice as large.  More ceiling room and concrete floors which will liven the drums up a bit.  My current room can be a bit dead - but it's been a good thing, since I'm no acoustics expert.
 

I put this bandcamp page up today which has a sampling of the first quarter my new musical collection.

Release Details
 
This is a compilation album based around the theme of Numbers Stations samples.
Number Stations if you are unfamiliar are shortwave radio stations that broadcast strange and cryptic content, often ordered or seemingly random series of numbers repeated over and over again. Other stations played weird music, and other still just repeated tones over an over. They were all the rage back in the Coldwar era and are often thought to have been spying agencies means of communication.

My drum samples for logic have been downloaded 1000 times. I'm glad people are enjoying them!

I'm working on a new site called PatchDump.

The concept is simple. Upload your patches and share with friends and strangers.

It is possible to find patches on the net, but you have to go around to random newsgroups and user groups. So I thought, "Why not create a site where you could find patches for all your software and hardware?"

You can upload a patch file of any type as well as an MP3 file showing the patch off. Then you tag it with relevant tags.
