"Out for a Jaunt"
"Out for a Jaunt" [mp3 removed -- some of this got incorporated into New Shortcut Medley, on Bandcamp]
Messing with the Doepfer A-112 sampler module and Reaktor Rhythmaker softsynth (independently of each other; the results are multitracked). Almost nothing in here escapes a tweak or an automation curve.
The sampler makes the 8-bit quasi-exotic-bird sounds, some of which are further timestretched in Cubase.
Jaunting as in walking through a jungle but also teleporting a la Alfred Bester to a non-police-state, Bonobo-like society.
"Glass Ceiling, Parts 1-4"
"Glass Ceiling, Parts 1-4" [mp3 removed]
The (slim) gag title will become obvious upon hearing.
The arpeggios are generated by a Reaktor MIDI sequencer called Spiral--a fancy interface where the notes spin in a spiral--I guess designed for drug use while composing. Except for some transposing at the very end, this is just switching the arps between major and minor keys.
I added all the beats, note for note, mano a mano, etc.
half-torso lady: comment of the day (made last year)
By radii, November 24th, 2010, about the TV show Walking Dead:
Starsky & Hutch + zombies does not make good television … this show is terrible … the only good thing in it was the half-torso lady crawling around in hunger – this extra has been the best actor on the show so far
This is not to slight Eileen Jones' review--she's great in her bile-dispensing way, as usual.
