Don't expect much, I suck with the guitar and I'm a newb with the harmonicas.
Also, the recording quality is not very good. I don't have professional gear.

Songs:

• Curious feline       - 0:50 MP3, around 0:25 starts speeding up. Ends abruptly ...or can be followed by:
  
• Curious feline loop   - 0:20 MP3 (a loop from around 0:30 to 0:50) to loop forever
  
  
• 2-H (work in progress)   - 1:38 MP3
  
• 2-H (improvisation)   - 2:15 MP3
  (I never  finally finished it :p)
   
  
• Sweat factory - 3:20 improvisation in harmonica. Just the harmo w/some reverb.
  
  
  
• 1 hour bonus Or chopped up in sections: Intro-Loop-Outro
  

.
Harmonica short samples:

• Intro thingy   - 0:09 MP3
  
• You lose   - 0:03 MP3
  

.
Jaw harp "Spring" sounds:

• Assorted *boing* sounds. 0:30 MP3
  

.
Miscelaneous:

• Phobos winds. 0:16 MP3 - picked by the microphone "by itself" with a bunch of filters applied.
  

.
Not an asset but...:

• Indie asset organizer for Windows and Mac

Hey, good to see someone else trying some live musical recordings!

You don't seem like a newb on those harmonicas to me- I take it you're using ones in a single key, not the chromatic ones? Still, they sound a lot better than any of the plastic ones I've used. Good stuff.

2-H is really nice. It's got an odd rhythm to it but that's all part of the atmosphere.

Someone make some Country Fishing graphics, or a Jail Cell?

[Martin 2BAM]

Yes, I use the diatonics. 2-H is a work in progress, I have to fix it because it feels weird

Thanks for taking the time to try them out! 

Best regards

[nunix]

Yeah, all of these are great. =D Runman proved this kind of music absolutely has a place in games (and not just an arty set piece or cutscene).

The guitar on the 2-h pieces sounds like it needs to be slowed down a few BPM, though.

[Martin 2BAM]

Thanks! And thanks for the suggestion; I'll try to record a better guitar soon.

Jaw harp "Spring" sounds:

• Assorted *boing* sounds. 0:30 MP3
  

YOU'VE GOTTA DO A SONG ON THAT THING. OR USE IT IN A SONG. OR SOMETHING.

Such a marvellous sounding instrument. When I first discovered it actually WAS an instrument making those quirky sounds, and not just a sound effect, MAN. Mind blowing. Kinda wish I had one. Do you have to stick the, uh, mouth-shaped part in your mouth? And if so, is it messy?


Also, other songs are cool. I appreciate the non-digital sounds. Makes me want to make some non-digital assets.

Yeah, the Jewharp-realisation has just blown me away as well.

Oh and if you want do some sort of across-the-net live music collab, my piano assets are on this thread a-here: http://forums.tigsource.com/index.php?topic=9202.0

[Martin 2BAM]

Yeah! I did also... I think I first found out when surfing the web looking for some Cowboy bebop songs (One uses it). And then looked for it on YouTube. There are plenty of videos but I liked


One day I was just walking around and saw it on a shop window... I had to buy it!.
(Luckily I recognized it from the videos I seen )

Actually is REALLY easy to use, I learned from using it.
You hold the wide part with your index and middle fingers and thumb, and press it against your teeth. Your mouth cavity works as a resonanse box (as an acoustic guitar's body does).
To change the pitch you must change the shape of your mouth/lips to affect the resonance.
Then with the other hand you gently strike the narrow center blade.

You then start finding out that you can blow or draw air to make it sound louder and more harsh, and become used to the shapes of your mouth for specific pitches, stop hitting your tongue, how to move fast without missing a stroke, etc... It's a nice instrument 

I also really hope for real-life photos for backgrounds.
(maybe zoomed 2x to make them more pixely , it's hard to beat that habit)

I think I'll shoot some photos as well...you'll see

Regards

I know it's getting old,

.

The recordings are lovely and awesomely indie. I would use it with the idea I have in mind, but I'm afraid that would make it feel way too much like Runman: Race Around the World.

That might not stop me tho.

[Martin 2BAM]

I   L O V E  that video. The first time I saw it I was somewhat drunk and I laughed like hell. :D

I'm glad you guys liked them.

[Martin 2BAM]

Those are horrifying and awesome.

[snellface]

I'll try to remove my neck and shirt later on, and make some more stuff.
But in case I don't make it, I'm uploading this, at least for the lulz.

Please keep the originals here aswell if you edit them... and there might just be some lulz comming your way in a month or two 

[Martin 2BAM]

Yey  

I still have to edit about 7-10 more. But I'll keep the originals
I made one with the mouth glowing (sort of like a cacodemon attack)
I'll be also adding a body soon
