Streets of Passive Aggression by Tom Moody
[embedded player removed]
Truculent album notes:
Synthetic sounds for a synthetic society (man). Passive aggression is the new "no." Rebellion against the boredom of the Mac/Windows/Smartphone creativity paradigm. Make something new-ish with old chips and dicey operating systems.
Eurorack, Ardour, Tracktion, Samples, Discontinued Beatboxes, ALSA/JACK. No "progress." Heroes with no faces.
"Plucking and Snipping" [mp3 removed -- please listen on Bandcamp]
Song made with Tracktion's Waveform digital audio workstation, running on Ubuntu Studio.
Sound sources include:
Tracktion's Collective synth/sampler;
Snippets from 1970s vinyl (which may or may not have been uploaded to YouTube by record companies pretending to be "street");
Recordings of a "live" Eurorack synth sync-ed to the DAW via midi-to-cv; and
Recordings (via ADAT) of a canned breakbeat clip playing in Ableton in a Windows PC.
Imaginary soundtrack for an ultra-benign Burger Time-style game involving picking flowers or mushrooms and some forest critter who steals them from your basket.
"That Seventies Song 2" [4.5 MB .mp3]
