andrewhawkins makes music

I have collaborated with many different musicians. Sometimes working with other people is a lot of fun. Playing with yourself is good too especially if it helps make you better at what you do.

I have some tracks to post. Right now I'm hosting songs on Soundcloud.

Here's the link: MUSIC

Give us some feedback if you like, yeah.

That's what's up! Thank you much sir.

Siiiiiiiiiick. I'm happy to hear that my video game music can help out in real life applications. Go get 'em.

New track up today:

PSALM 69 [DEFLYNNED]

It's MINISTRY meets TRON Legacy with some very unkind noise thrown in for emphasis.

[edit]

I have made 3 new remixes of PSALM 69 by MINISTRY. They contain samples of music from the Scott Pilgrim Vs. The World and The Social Network soundtracks. There are also some soundbytes thrown in there from the FLYNNLIVES TRON Legacy viral campaign.

PSALM 69 [SP VS. EX #И] (V.1)

PSALM 69 [SP VS. EX #И] (V.2)

PSALM 69 [SP VS. EX #И] (V.3)

I've uploaded 3 older tracks for public streaming and free download:

Brade Snake Code
B. Gone
Underdwellers

The main track I'm working on now is still in production and you can hear the newest demo HERE

Now I have completed and submitted my end of 2010 project.

To recap: FIX is a documentary. FIX needed music. I made music for FIX and now my job is done.

Hear my contribution to crap on iTunes HERE.

Now on to my next job; remixing Moon River and splicing it with Wendy Carlos samples.

So I composed and arranged a song while delirious due to illness. Hooray!

 

Here is the brand new, fresh from the fourth and final revision / draft:

 

STRICKEN WITH FEVER

Fuck yeah fellas. Got a new one here inspired by the fine sounds of Full Moon Features and such.

 

I'm thinkin' Cutting Dicks And Otherworldly Terrors needs to be an album title. Here's the news:

 

SILVER CROSSES IN THE KEEP

The following is an experiment that may turn out very badly:

 

I will work my ass off to compose a song while I watch Un Chien Andalou on mute. When the film ends, so will I.

 

[edit]

 

Well that sucked. With 15 minutes of scrambling and some cheat time to polish off, I managed to create an unlistenable mess.

 

Hear my abomination here:

 

UN CHIEN AND-A-LOSER

I'll have to talk to some people with experience on how to spice it up next time.  Time to go watch The Rules of Attraction again!

 

Better sentence structure could definitely help avoid suicidal impressions. The last thing I wanna do is talk about the stopping point of my life.

NEW MUSIC:

 

GLYPH MORGANA

So I edited some vintage footage to make a music video for GLYPH MORGANA

 

Here it is:

 

I've been listening to a lot of instrumentals lately while reading. Also I've had the pleasure of hearing Alejandro Jodorowsky's scores for El Topo and The Holy Mountain. Other notables that've hit me lately are Chu Ishikawa, Drew Neumann, Fabio Frizzi, Coil, Herb Alpert, Lars Von Trier, John Carpenter, Nigel Godrich, Trent Reznor, Aphex Twin, Lalo Schifrin and Krzysztof Penderecki. Fun!

 

All that said, here's my new work:

 

TURD CURRY

 

I'm happy enough with this goofy little Sunday afternoon experiment that I'm willing to share it:

 

EPIC WHAT

 

VIDEO GAME MUSIC HERE:

 

THEME FÜR VIKTOR

 

 

The above title should now be the one that sticks. So far listeners have said, "That's legit!", "It sounds like old SEGA Boss Battle music!" and "Sick dude!!!"

 

So there you go. Easy money.

Kick-ass feedback! Glad to hear it.

The newest is an experiment in dark ambient sounds w/ garbled vox:

 

psiKOtherapy

 

It's been called "Darkly Intriguing" by a London artist called The Clocktoys.

Quote:

If there's ever a need for me to make movie sounds, I'm all about it.

 

Thank you Micah for being interested in hearing this stuff. I always enjoy hearing feedback from musicians I like listening too.

 

 

A Bass, a Korg and a Drummer walk into a bar. This comes out:

 

B.O.T.S. [Blood of the Sun]

 

 

Quote:

Thank you Micah. I actually recorded vocals for this track that got deleted by my recording engineer. I didn't know about it until after the fact. Once I saw the track was missing while I was mixing, I just said, "Fuck it." and produced an instrumental. Your feedback helps me accept that it worked out regardless. Fuck yeah!

 

So, I never listened to Killing Joke before reading your feedback. I listened to a mix of their work from the albums: Killing Joke (1980), Revelations, Fire Dances and Pandemonium, and liked what I heard. Do you have any recommendations or suggestions?

 

Also, here's that engineer from the recording session:

 

 

 

This was my Thanksgiving fun:

 

Varmitosis

Here's a new one from recent travels:

 

Flight Terrors

TWEAKER, aka Chris Vrenna, released a new album called Call The Time Eternity. The song Fine was made available to remix. Here's what I did with the opportunity to fuck with the music of an influential sir:

 

FINE [ABH RMX]

This was recently updated on SoundCloud - 

 

My music has been compared to that of:

Throbbing Gristle, Nurse with Wound,

Faust, A Perfect Circle, Gary Numan,

Cabaret Voltaire, Chrome, Joy Division,

John Carpenter, Frank Tovey, Clock DVA

and The Killing Joke. So, there you go.

 

TROUBLED WATERS

Laker 4 (and my crap too!)

 

I recently had the honor of recording with CHUD's own The Lucky Nightsticks.

The album we did is available here: Laker 4 It's really is worth your attention.

 

On top of doing guitar and synth work for one of the best Alternative Rock bands around,

I have been making more music on my own and experimenting with very dense sounds.

 

Here's new:

 

Ramiel

The Final Equinox

Within The Realm Of The Dead

 

Thanks for checking these out and definitely make time for Laker 4 (It rocks!)
