TV Dismount - 12th Hour - IV (Emley Moor Mast) - Joe’s Nose - All My Little Words (The Magnetic Fields)


You’ll recognise “12th Hour” from the end of the “Truth or Fail” game on You Tube. I remember the first time I watched that I asked Tom where the “rest of it” was for this is longer, they cut it off - and I couldn’t remember where I’d heard it! I had to go looking and found it later and told him sorry I bothered him.

Yes, IV is supposed to go in and out like that, I think it’s interesting.

Tom made a video for All My Little Words too: with download.

I’ve Missed You - This Shore - Fourth Song For James Cleveland - Electro - Amen, Sister - Yes, Let’s Drum Together

Don’t let “I’ve Missed You” put you off of this, he does sound well drunk. The rest of the podcast is simply great!
“Let’s Drum Together” and the transition segments between the sections/songs that sound very much like Tom’s Geometry EP.

On July 31st, 2010 Tom made a video for This Shore:

indigogidni - lolwut - hooray for food - undersea - FM - this sounds familiar…


“lolwut” is fun with lots of electronic sounds.
I separated it into parts in my mind, the second half of it goes with Shallow Ocean for me, the “underwater” sound.
“hooray for food’ has a deeper sound.
“undersea” is an early version of “Reef” on Shallow Ocean, and “this sounds familiar…” is 2.2 {2.8(13) }

Blurred Boundaries: posted on 9/26/2008
Casio MT500 - dryflowers - organ - electric wave

Starts off bouncy and happy with “Casio MT500” (using his casio MT500 would assume)

“dryflowers” is a sweet piece, available for free here: http://tommilsom.bandcamp.com/track/dryflowers

“organ” has several parts. The first being the track Levi Beamish used in his Blurred//BeatBox video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BYKOrbQ5-xI

Second (an early version of what would become “Watermill”) and third continue the happy electronic vibe.
The fourth sounds like a string instrument and is lovely, though short.
You can get “electric wave” on bandcamp (for free!): http://tommilsom.bandcamp.com/track/electric-wave

Sampled glitch - vocoders - silly - Michael Aranda - noise/IDM - The fifth song for James Cleveland - actual vocals holy crap

(Podcast intro, with date, in robot voice.)

“sampled glitch” is just that, sounds like something got stuck.
“vocoders” is Tom talking, then something that is also labeled ‘what i’ve been working on today’ and was posted to effyeahnerfighters ages ago with the title of Technicolor Penguin.
“silly” starts off happy and then switches to very dark tones.
The section after that I’m not sure whether it goes with Michael Aranda or silly, or if it’s a segue/transition, but it’s lovely.
“Michael Aranda” has a some layering and has an almost eerie vibe.

“noise/IDM”, organ chords with a metal type sound. More eerie, but with an underlying it’s OK feel.

“The fifth song for James Cleveland” - I do believe this is a stylophone, and even if it isn’t it has a neat flowing sound like one, with some higher parts and a very nice build.
“actual vocals holy crap” It’s a very sad song. When he released “About Our Universeon Ephemera: Demos…, I had to go back and listen to this because they are musically similar. It also sounds a bit like something that could have been on Trockstuff

(this podcast is only 8 days after the first post of trockstuff).

Harry Potter: posted on 9/15/2008
Harry Potter - IDM - neverbeforereleased song I wrote for my father - 2.3 (8) - organ
Tom’s first podcast. The Harry Potter segments bother me, (as in they don’t seem to match the rest of it) but maybe you’ll like them.

The IDM is three seperate pieces that are very serious in my mind. So when he switches back to the Happy Potter thing it disorients me.
You may recognise parts of the the second IDM piece as it was used later in the Super Drums video.

“neverbeforereleased song I wrote for my father” is so pretty, I wish it would get a name - it’s very light/uplifting and the whistle(?) part adds to that.

2.3 (8) has what Tom has called an “underwater sound” and I put it with my Shallow Ocean tracks in my mind. It’s very soothing, and the build is just perfect.

“organ” is another soothing mellow/happy track. Sounds like something you’d hear in a melody/music box (though not a as high).
