My continued playing with GarageBand ios and osx

Used some clips from the Jerky Boys to enhance some funk music.

I have a buddy who is a heavy metal fan so I made this for him. I think other heavy metal fans will also like it.

After five years away, suddenly two in one day must have people wondering WTH? But being back in Korea has inspired me and the creativity is flowing once more. Cheers!

I'm back! It is has been a long, long time, but I've started making music again.

There is a holiday in Korea called Chuseok which is beginning today, so I made a little techno jam for the event. Enjoy!

The Hard Seoul House original is enhanced with a piano. Enjoy!

Just like the name says, this is the original Electric House with a grand piano thrown in to make it sick! Enjoy!

Here is the Hard Seoul House with only the bass section for people to remix and use. Enjoy!

Some more house music created with GarageBand on the iPad. This one focuses on the electric instruments for bass and for the piano. Enjoy!

Used GarageBand on the iPad to create this one. The iPad app is amazing and I highly recommend it to everyone. Enjoy!

Simple. Two pianos. Nothing more. Enjoy!

The name says it all -- smoke out and listen to this one! Enjoy!

The rain in Seattle doesn't bother me when it comes to making some tunes. Enjoy!

Sitting on the beach in Thai is the best place to make a jam session. Enjoy!

Hanging out in airports gives me time to make music. Enjoy!

Some rhythms to get your motor running. Enjoy!

We have five songs on the list and I will be releasing them over the next week. This also lead to an entire new genre of music -- Jesazz. Enjoy!

I used GarageBand for the iPad to pile a load of bass guitars on this track. The four different Smart Bass guitars can be heard on this song. Enjoy!

This version of Sunday Morning completes the trilogy and this one has a flute thrown in during the turn around section of the song. Enjoy!

Another version of the iPad GarageBand song I made last post, but this one is stripped down to only the drums, clav, and bass guitar. Enjoy!

More exploring and experimenting with iPad GarageBand in this tune. Enjoy!

Title says it all. I was up late and started playing with GarageBand on the iPad and created this little tune. Enjoy!

This is my second song in this series. As I wrote last post, this all started when our Orchestra teacher asked for some help with a personal project. We helped him convert a large number of single audio files into only four, but in the process listened to what the recordings were -- it was simply him reading passages from the Old Testament. We started bouncing ideas around the room and The Electric Prophet was born. This is officially my second song for the CD Speed Processor and the Golden RAM Introduce the Electric Prophet. We are releasing the CD as part of a music exchange in our school. I will post the CD cover and the entire collection of songs when the entire project is finished. This song is short, but creepy as all get out. Enjoy!

The guys in the Ed Tech office decided to make a little challenge for ourselves. We heard some records of a faculty member reading Bible passages from the Old Testament and about died laughing at it... And from the laughter a musical vision was formed -- we decided to mix his voice with our own music. Here is my version for your enjoyment.

I recorded an announcement at the Munich train station. I have no idea what the guy is saying; I'm sure it is something about a train from somewhere is arriving or a train to somewhere is departing. Anyway, I decided to put the thing to music. Enjoy!

Found this song I started a long time ago in my old data files and gave it a listen... Then I decided it was actually ready to go. Enjoy!

This one rocks even more than the first long Latin jam. More pianos and guitars over the rhythm section. Enjoy!

This is an extra extended jam from one of the evenings in the village. The peace of the place infected the work. Enjoy!

Second in the funk trilogy that came out of my nights of fish, raki, and love in Boz Koy. Once the house is built in the village, there will be thousands of jam sessions from that place. Enjoy!

Another in the series of musical explorations that came out of my days in Boz Koy, Karaburun, Turkey. The village is so peaceful and quiet, you can hear yourself think and the music flows to you in dreams. Enjoy!

During the second night in Boz Koy we got into some Reggae jamming and here is the first in that series. Enjoy!

Second in the jams that came out of the holiday adventure in Turkey.

We went to Boz Koy, Karaburun, Turkey for part of our summer holiday and several jam sessions came out of the trip. This is the first in the Boz Koy Jams. Enjoy!

Short tutorial about using Magic GarageBand to make music in one minute or less. Enjoy!

This is a jazz tune that I composed and performed "live" with GarageBand. It was a long time since the last tune was released, so this is an attempt to get back in the groove. Enjoy!

This time in GarageBand I played with ducking to make tracks lead or be in the background. I used some of the World Jam Pack for the Africa and Latin drums and bass. Enjoy!

Karaburun is a small village near Izmir, Turkey. We own a small piece of land there and hope to build a house in the future. This song is about that place. Enjoy1

A recent trip to Singapore spawned this tune. It carries the ethnic flavors of the city state with in. Enjoy!

Raki is a hard alcohol drank in Turkey and Izmir is the best city in the world. Put them together and you have an unstoppable force. Enjoy!

Final version of the series. I hope you enjoy!

The third in the Dream Team Theme series. Each one has its own unique taste, but which do you prefer? Enjoy!

This is the second version of the Dream Team Theme. Please refer to the previous episode for the background story on this series of four songs. Enjoy!

A friend (@intrepidteacher) referred to the Korea International School Tech Team as the Dream Team once in a blog post. Later @stevekatz (member of the team) came up with an idea for a promo video for the tech team, but he needed some theme music for the video. I came up with four versions and this is number 1. Enjoy! p.s. I'm @tsbray on Twitter.

We had a Spanish festival at our school the other day that included a professional Tango show. The music inspired me! I took the tango piano in GarageBand and put a beat-box bass to it. Enjoy!

Some funk for your soul straight out of Seoul. Enjoy!

The title explains the tune perfectly. I used the World Music jam pack to mix African drums with Brazilian guitars. Enjoy!
