As usual no cartoon, but instead some new music composition I perpetrated on mandolin/guitar. Maybe I should have called it Quest for Some Cartoons, that would have been more appropriate. Anyway, here's the piece, I hope you enjoy it.
Mandolin/acoustic/electric guitar,bass played by me.
drums, percussion added electronically.

Spring!
Hello folks, I know, I know, I haven't posted any cartoons lately and you are entitled to remind me about it.
I've continued to play the mandolin these last months and here is some new music that I composed recently. This one is called 'Bez Mozak', which in Croatian (which I try painfully to learn) can be translated as "without brains". I couldn't find any other title, weird no?
It's spring today!

Moving across continents
I'm sorry, It's been a while that I haven't posted any cartoon, the reason being that I'm currently moving across continents and didn't have time to dedicate to my blog.
I'll come back in a few weeks.
In the meantime, I'm posting some music I composed on my new mandolin.

Oh wait, already 2013 ?
Hello folks,
Yeah no need to mention it, I know, I left this blog unattended for quite a long time. To justify my absence, I was going to explain in details that I had been kidnapped by extraterrestrials who didn't have an internet connection aboard their spacecraft, hence the absence of new posts.
However, I refrained to do so at the last minute feeling that the story would cut no ice with my readers (despite the fact that intergalactic temperatures are typically close to a good -273.15 C).
Anyway, we are now in 2013 AD and hopefully more cartoons and music will come.
For today, here's some jazz piece that I recently composed.
I'm not sure if I actually have already heard the theme or a similarly sounding theme somewhere.
If you know of any similar theme, please let me know.
I couldn't find a title, so since I was cooking pasta when trying to find a name, I just named it 'Al Dente'.
Hope it's not too hard on the ears !

La Barque
A little composition that I did over the weekend
As usual, it's not yet finished.
The piece has some sort of arabian music touch but also with some hint of fanfare with a tuba marking the beat.
Ingredients:
- guitars
- drums
- darbouka
- tuba
- fute
Guitars played by me, other instruments played electronically. I wish I could thank individually each transistor who contributed to the piece but I'll probably miss some, so instead I'll thank the microprocessors so that nobody is forgotten.- thank you microprocessor , thank you microprocessor !

Little compositions
hello folks,
It's been a while that I haven't posted a cartoon, and, like a recidivist, I'm not going to publish a cartoon today either. Instead here are two little composition tests that I did recently using my Boss RC-50 loop station. Still in a metastable state.

Some musical loop tests
No cartoon today but some new music that I recently recorded.
I recently got a Boss RC-50 loop station and have been doing some tests over the weekend.
This device lets you record up to three tracks simultaneously and overdub each one multiple times. This can result in some nice, weird, symphonic or cacophonous musical mille feuilles.
Here are some of the things I composed over the weekend using the thing.

Aube - an orchestral composition
No cartoon today, but an orchestral piece that I recently composed.
It's not entirely finished and will probably undergo some genetic mutations in the weeks to come.

Hima Himalaya
No cartoon today, but a new composition featuring some crow and an other bird which were singing in the tree in front of my house this morning.
I initially called the composition Himalaya, which is kind of lame, I know. Will try to find something else next time.
Guitar + electronics played by myself.
Don't know the name of the crow - will ask him next time I hear him.
