Patient Whales Ate The Sea, by Patient Whales 10 track album

Another #BandcampFriday just after I added 2 more songs to this noisy folk collection (hopefully 1 more to come). Up to 10 now! patientwhales.bandcamp.com

My Bandcamp cart is very overstuffed after #RPMchallenge, so today could be expensive, but there's always so much great new music in March #BandcampFriday

Had fun seeing what I could make with nothing but white noise fed into the Chase Bliss Lost + Found pedal. A new series, maybe?

Nowhere Together (A Few More Questions), by Patient Whales from the album Patient Whales Ate The Sea

And this one came together last week for this Year's #RPMchallenge. Seemed like a fitting album closer (though I still want to sneak one more track before it at some point soon). Another wistful, folky ditty that devolves into layers of ambience patientwhales.bandcamp.com/track/nowher...

Back to Bed, by Patient Whales from the album Patient Whales Ate The Sea

Two more tracks added to the (still-growing) Patient Whales collection on Bandcamp. This one was written eons ago and initially performed live as Dog Is Blue with my wife, but I finally recorded it solo. The screamed backups for super fun to record patientwhales.bandcamp.com/track/back-t...

Feeling good about 2 more Patient Whales tunes I'm finishing up for this year's #RPMchallenge, then I hope to add 1 more song next month and call that album finished. The next goal would be to try and merge some of that folkiness into the Bay Mud synthiness and see what happens

Finally got on the Count To 5 bandwagon. Having a lot of fun with this classic, like moving between all 3 modes with the same loop in this experimental jam. Anyone else got one? youtu.be/4h3r6TENu0E

At a Green Light, by Patient Whales from the album Patient Whales Ate The Sea

In advanced of #BandcampFriday, I added another new folky track to the almost-complete Patient Whales album. Listen close for the layers of MIDI guitar under the real thing:

Randomizing Effects with MIDI  Lost + Found & Deluge Jam
Randomizing Effects with MIDI Lost + Found & Deluge Jam YouTube video by Bay Mud

Did you know MIDI can randomize the effect selection of the Chase Bliss Lost + Found? Super fun to automate MIDI parameters via the Deluge (which is also providing a jam for the L+F to process) youtu.be/g34eqyKSh6g

That's the dream! Ha

That's a good approach! I should try more small releases and genre-morphing under the same project

Thanks! Yeah, the attack really separates it from a regular guitar-like sound. Super fun

Enjoying the variety so far! I always feel I have to keep different projects separate, which gets messy (so many Bandcamps. Ha) and appreciate that you blend genres from release to release

Do you still make music? I saw poetry on your page, which is something I've not delved much into (aside from lyric writing)

Thanks! It's been fun experimenting with all the MIDI guitar stuff. I come from a folky background, so it's a nice way to merge things with synth ambience

@mohaynow.com this video experiment was the inspiration (including the melody), but imagine a folky song over top. Ha youtu.be/EhpSJuH41Us?...

22.01.2026 18:03 ๐Ÿ‘ 2 ๐Ÿ” 1 ๐Ÿ’ฌ 1 ๐Ÿ“Œ 0

Not yet, but it's coming together more folky than I described initially (MIDI guitar synth arps are background layers). Will be added to this growing collection next week, I hope! patientwhales.bandcamp.com

Do you mean in terms of my computer? I'm just using an old PC laptop (but works well for my recording needs). The overall question was more of a joke, as I'm having too much fun with MIDI guitar at the moment and want to add it to everything

22.01.2026 17:04 ๐Ÿ‘ 2 ๐Ÿ” 0 ๐Ÿ’ฌ 1 ๐Ÿ“Œ 0

Infinite MIDI guitar arps does sound like the way to go

I've been obsessing over playing the Reface CP electric piano sounds via guitar (with a MIDI pickup), so here we are. A bit of ragebait, a bit of fun (also I'm actually in this one here and there)

There are no limits to how many MIDI guitar arp tracks a guy can use on a folk recording, right? Asking for a...me
