Ric, thanks for listening. What's "Satch"? Satchmo Williams?
Charles, eclecticism... I try... I actually don't know why I keep jumping from genre to genre... It's funny, I told my wife I was going to try to do something different, a techno song and she said, "I didn't know you could do that..." and I said, "me either..." As far as the drums, I'm not sure, but I think the techno that I've heard, the snare's really thin... but the only techno I've really been exposed to is when I used to go to the clubs when I was younger and it was LOUD with a lot of boom boom boom... but I'm not sure if it was inherent of the music or if there was a sub-sonic bass filter thing the dj was using... Anyway, this is my last techno song... was just experimenting... was fun, but no more... probably. I'm a rocker.
GT, thanks for listening bro... Yeah, pinball... My son said he feels like he's playing one of those racing games like "Need for Speed" or something when he hears this song... I agree... good video game music I think.
Ben, thanks buddy! The voice was computer generated. I programmed an application using VisualBasic 6 that will take any text string you feed it and convert it to synth vox... I basically pull from Windows HC accesibility feature... but the cool part is that I made it so you can save that text string to a .wav file that you can import into your multitrack recording software and manipulate it as you need to for your music and stuff. I made the mistake of giving the program to my friends, so I get a lot of emails with .wavs of computer generated voices that say, "Teddie, you're an ass. haha."
David, thanks for listening man!
Kaputo, thanks for listening... Yeah, it was just an experiment for sure... Way way out of my normal spectrum, but it was fun... but techno's not my favorite thing in the world. Although, I like some of Nine Inche Nails techno type songs because they're hard (as nails?) um... but it's got a lot of guits in it, which I like. But that's about it. Thanks again for listening.
