don't mind me, just having a listen, haven't listened to these in years ~ actually featuring me on [sampled] vocals. then there's a preset patch on the VS that El-P used somewhere, possibly on that little yellow prophet reboot i know he has ~ i had sampled some french-canadian guy talking in, well, french, about lady gaga's meat dress -- current topic that day -- and i've mapped Q1 on the MPC1000 to pitch and i'm just fussing with it, and suddenly i'm getting english lyrics out of it ...said you need DRUGS [something] oooh get a-way-high, get a moveon, then freakout, ahahaha then we're cutting into flying into the windows xp bliss.jpg field, flying with are cows with no legs. then back into the beat it _is_ drugs. fillerup fillerup unmeat, on me, etc. that i think i made this in like 45 minutes and i clearly remember that being my subjective experience at the time, cows and all |

that Q2 was sample start, that i was also doing this live while doing everything else, the truncated gunshot noises from the casios shooting the cows. but as someone said, NO ONE CARES, and then, not sure if it was same person, NEVER EXPLAIN ANYTHING and then, i guess, at least it's consistent, he refused to explain why one should never explain anything |

NEVER EXPLAIN ANYTHING and then, i guess, at least it's consistent, he refused to explain why one should never explain anything i've always said: given that a system can either be consistent or complete... since i'm inconsistent, i must be complete. |

it'd make sense that you're... i dunno, zappa-esque; drugs are for losers as you pound down scads of coffee and chain-smoke zigs until suddenly dying of prostate cancer at 50 because you refuse to doctor, because you fucking know better, fuck those fuckers i was blasting bong rips all day when i was 23... now i am in my late 30's, and it's been a good few years since i had a moment where i thought: "Hey, I haven't smoked in like two weeks" and it was not something i even set out to do; didn't give a shit about abstaining. i was simply too busy but then, to your point: it is, indeed, incredibly possible to make a track you think is great while stoned; realize it's shit the next day. or to get super into music you didn't write, that you later realize is shit the next day. then there's the maddening zone where... fuck, this is good, but it makes no sense unless you're stoned. and a proper man should be nervous there because that seems quite easy to confuse with the stuff you realize is shit the next day pimlico unmeat though, something else, i was probably +++ writing that |

i have a weirdly genuine question: does tony danza, canadian socialist boy scout, speak french? because, like, i don't. i know like, JAMBOU AU FROMAGE, ham and cheese. i went on a high school trip to france and i got caught up in a mental awkward loop trying to order "french fries" in english and the cook, in his eyes, he knew exactly what i was dealing with, laughed heartily, said, perfect english, i got you man but i figure pimlico unmeat, it may not be possible to hear it properly if you do speak french, because it's too distracting |

pareidolia. seeing forms in the clouds. that i got into a headspace with the Q1-2 sliders where, i dunno, a feedback loop between what i'm hearing in the clouds, parameter changes, that essentially amplifies it out of misheard psychedelic nonsense into... something that may not work at all if you speak french; i rather like that. they'd be quite offended i'm sure |

great stuff, i didnt pick up on the french till the very end of the track, thought it was distorted vocal samples or something, really nice |

sounds aight |

yes, yes, that is exactly what i wanted. that i was going industrial robot with pitch and sample start, then at the end.... i just sort of obnoxiously sweep it up into chipmunk and you're all "oh hey it's french" and this was not by accident. 4real thx. it's really rare i actually hear back, like "oh hey it worked" |

~ tony danza will be pleased to know the intensely dissociative sample spinner was something i crafted in reaktor. i ran reaktor on its own dedicated laptop, then i mapped the novation remote to the knobs, then i closed the laptop lid and that was actually enough for it to play nice with the real hardware. |

listening to the wino track, good stuff, there's a nice tension to it and i like the slightly off-kilter plod of the drums |

i talked to danza he said he doesn’t care about the reaktor sample spinner sorry he actually said i don’t give a fuck |

~ i wanted to do the coin sky bonus level from super mario 3, and so i did general sense of falling continually [you know how mario 3 does that for some, er, cinematic sequences]. i am happy with the piano riff, it makes you think of mario 3 without actually cribbing from it, really. it's the casio, and it's also those anthro clouds with faces mario 3 has. then the ef303 -- it's 303 mode is very nasal -- through some reverb, dootdattadoot, punching in a spiral pattern like someone working on a four-function calculator. some mangled sample noise kind of... shaped around the other things, but also to add a sense of falling. general tactical sense of reverb throughout there's the suction-creating warped sample, as you're falling, falling, the ef-303 spiraling off somewhere far below, then the piano riff kicks in and you're floating down past those clouds, which are moving at a slightly different rate i should do another like this sometime. i could make it much more dynamic now |

just a strange... well, why am i doing that? i'm not even listening to cloud party (previous post) and thinking of the ef303 way down below and i find myself... mouselooking around? and what? i usually don't... do that... ...and i realized, i was playing lots of CS:Source when i wrote that, and some people on the watmm IRC channel were getting me to try CS:Surf and i think that really had something to do with how i wrote it! |

~ i did post this on soundclot and discuss it before, but here it is again; you can have it in 320k or whatnot with none of their shit. that i do need to get an album of these together story, anyways: in a bit of a mood one day and i essentially walk up to the gear, turn the computer on, start turning the gear on, start the computer recording as soon as it's done, only some of the gear on, then recorded this. it is a stock yamaha dx200 pattern, but... well, to say i impart some motion to it is like saying a stallion has a cock. just rather furiously... muting and unmuting the four parts (1 DX7, 3x sample drum trax) and turn all. the. knobs and then i've the mixer's internal FX out run back into channel 1 so i can feed it back on myself, and... you know, turn all. the. EQ. etc along with jobbing the mixer's fx itself, and... fuck... midway through, i have to run around the table to turn on the TC electrix warp factory and it was so excruciating to me because i wanted it right. now. and this is dfjkgdf so when i got back around the right side of the table i was even more enthusiastic about all the things. good day |
