result ~ so i recorded in 2011 after hallucinating a song in the wind chimes on the porch. that i am literally counting the beats, and like, the prophet VS arp will remember up to a 120 notes and i'm trying to guess how many i need in my midi feedback loop so it matches the wind chimes. then, after a bit, alright, i think i have it, time to go to work, and i about got it. recently i've finally heard by the Brian Wilson, and immediately i am all: he was hallucinating a song in wind chimes too! then that part where it spikes up in the breeze... shit, that sounds exactly like space paranoids for precisely one bar so i'm still arguing with myself about it, but that's roughly the sync point, and yes, these aren't quite the same... brian did wind chimes late afternoon; mine are late nite. disagrees a little there. but the drums, the rhythms, then when i actually drop in my casio wind chimes... yow, weird. that i may be able to line it up better. i've done some eq and i have to go listen to it out on cans on a walk to see how i've done |

nevermind happy enough w/ sync + eq just need to duck a moment of me out where it goes too minor, and a bit of brian out where it goes too major. but already good enough that i'd rather listen to this than either song. which was not even something i was trying for; i just wanted to see if i was actually right |

i feel like i just walked into brian wilson's session and added a drum machine, casio wind chimes, synth emphasize this is just like playing two tapes at once and merely adjusting the equalizer on both tape, then pressing play at the right time(s) -- wind chimes and space paranoids ii i'm glad someone's responded that they like it because i've been feeling a bit insane about it. like, fuck fuck fuck, am i nuts here? i don't think i am. but wow |

slightly too much high-end on space paranoids. maybe cut too much bass as well. but you can still hear the kick and i like brian's organ cutting through the floorboards. i want to duck out space paranoids ii around "...down my cheek" along with the rest of brian's trax. maybe, maybe, i cut too much of the foley room freqs out of wind chimes but i needed those ok generally still happy with mix tho |

|
|
fuck it let the bass out to play but still turn down the high-end... in... that spot and fix the part where a tear rolls down brian's cheek |

mmm maybe fade is still a little slow coming back in still much bettuarz |

or trying. so you click the link and it says "this has be delete" but then when i go to upload it's "the link is in use pick another" pick your nose. this better not be another guise to juice me for cash. by deleting my tracks and reuploading i shake off bots like ticks |

got flac. nice brian but it does lean heavily on his vox, no bad thing i guess. respectful yet kind of extraneous noise |

reminded me of fog - ether teeth and that is def a compliment |

but, yes, was hallucinating a song in the wind chimes on the porch, then compulsively counting the beats so i knew how many notes to set the VS arp to... because i'd decided that was the way to do this riddim; clearly... and i do recall it was a prime number. so i'd have to be 111, 113, 117, thereabouts. that essentially the notes go out of the VS and then with a bit of midi lag, right back into it, and you can doodle in a couple notes as a seed and it builds a mandala until it fills up the note limit you've set. and it was about how to get it spinning just right. i went downstairs and i'd effectively nailed the note count -- i tried around a bit and nothing was anywhere near as good -- then just kind of filled it in. that the VS arp is not clocked either, i think it's just by ear for a sort of generator feeling so that i made the song like this, and it's perfectly in sync with brian wilson's song he hallucinated in wind chimes, we both thought very hard about the same problem and came up with compatible solutions i'm realizing it probably is a lot more significant to me personally than anyone else, really. especially as i can hear the bits that... ...like, oh, after it cuts out, "...rolls down my cheek" and there's a pause, listen to how the wind chimes on both ends are just this perfectly timed salad, sjdfks triiiiippy but i guess it is kinda personal. |

i had a similar thing going to sleep on a mate's sofa after a mushroom night... the clock would produce slightly different ticks each time, and the ambient noise from outside would merge with it. the "melodies" it made were so nice as i stretched my muscle groups. i was humming along and finger-tapping whilst laughing into a cushion, wind chimes would have blown my tiny ape brain |

now imagine you've had some of this happen many times, but you just can't quite ever nail it when you sit down with the gear, and, alright, i am sick of this, i am getting this one and that's about where i was at that evening late summer 2011 |

also. once i lopped off most of the high-end of space paranoids, i found some nice stuff, i didn't even notice, like a whoooOOm of bass that's... exactly like a gust of wind, i don't know how else to say it. and it's been there all these years and only once i cut off all the high bleepy is it like... that's just such a lovely bass noise. very old skool that brian wilson has been deaf in one ear since childhood, spare us the comparisons, but i went right for the "mono" remaster flac of windchimes (thank you soulseek for still existing) over "stereo." because, what's he gonna do with stereo, and meanwhile, space paranoids has a lot of nice, well... space... going on, and yes, it can be like the egg white to brian's yolk and so that is kind of how i see this: it's like another three or four matryoshka shells orbiting about the original track. most of the EQing was actually clearing my noise out of the way. as i got into above, initially i killed the bass too, but... no, the timing of the vocals and the drums so perfect, this is really what i'm here for, to give this track a drum machine and some casio and just elevate it a little. |
