Hey rats,
Sounded nice and clear, I don't know why I like this random inane music, but I do.
I suppose I like the total freedom of music, with absolutely no boundries, and no structure.
It's also a very lazy way to make music, my last one went this way, and got fairly mixed, to bad reviews.
Inane music, gotta love it!!

GT I have to disagree with you here a bit, I think you don't get it. There's actually quite a bit of structure here, I don't think you really took the time to listen or you would have heard it. And the other thing you said that kind of pissed me off is that it's a lazy way to make music. I've spent several different sessions hours on end noodling with this piece, experimenting with sounds, beats... I started working on this months ago, pretty much with just the "alien voices" and a different percussive beat I programmed on my SR-16. I didn't care for the beat so it sat for several months. Then when I got the airsynth, this seemed like a great piece to be able to go in and experiment with it. So then I literally spent HOURS and HOURS on end experimenting with
the airsynth patches until I found a few that I liked. I had to find beats that worked together, and if you have ever experimented with playing looped beats on an aitsynth, it can be trying on your patience. By the time I got the song sounding the way I wanted it was about 3 minutes long, and pretty boring at that.
So then last week I was going through my archives looking for something good to replace a song we decided to drop on the album and I came across this again. There were elements about the song I really liked a lot and others that were dragging it down so I put it back in the multitrack editor and worked for hours and hours going through patches, finding melodies, until I came up with the glockenspiel part (that is staill played slightly out of time and needs to be fixed). Then I came up with the sine flute part, and it was almost there. A little more editing...
So you see, if that was a lazy approach, many of my other rock songs were in fact much easier to write because that's the format I'm more used to for the most part. Stuff like this has to get you out of your comfort zone. Mind you I'm not really pissed at your comments because I'm sure you just aren't aware of the situation, and maybe you come up with stuff like this in a different manner by just throwing anything out there and seeing what sticks, it's just that I don't do it that way, and by assuming that I do, it CAN be a bit insulting, but GT I know you a little better than that and don't take it that way. Regardless, you should be aware.
doc - thanks man I'm glad I could oblige in surfacing some of those chemicals buried deep on that brain tissue. Well maybe not that deep, but still. ugly-clean? I didn't think there was anything THAT ugly going on. Actually I thought Toke came pretty close with
maybe like the a couple of teletubbies and eewoks picked a lock on the dream factory and snuck in.
Actually I think Coca and Howe are my guardian angels, if they exist. My dearly departed momma used to tell me stories about when I was a wee child, and the funny things that happened, but one of my favorites was when she would tell me of my imaginary friends, Coca and Howe.
Hey Lt, if you really want to hear the rocker I'll email you a copy, how's that? Ha if I had thought you were serious I would have sent one the other day! Surf music aye? It sounds like a lot of
B.S. to me!
