Over the weekend, I compelled myself to record. You will recall that I recently got a new, ultrapowerful music computer. Well, I was sick of obsessing over its pecularitiies, and felt like I just needed to do something. Anyway, here’s an example of what you can do with Reaktor 5 and Ableton Live in 20 minutes:
As an added bonus, I came across a ton of stuff that I recorded and forgot about. Here’s a sampling from the dusty corners of kongbalong studios:
First, a discarded entry for the Cur songfight: cursample.mp3. I think this is better than the one I actually submitted (which is available on the starfinger page).
Here is a first pass at covering Octothorpe’s Do the Math. The astute listener will realize that it sounds absolutely nothing like that Octothorpe song. That is why this ended up in the dusty corner: math2.mp3.
I don’t know what the rest of this stuff is!
kong-2.mp3
kong-3.mp3
lc1.mp3
orch.mp3
arena-sample.mp3
What the heck, click here to stream them all.
Hey this is smart - i love Christening and the Cur original - I agree that it’s better than the one you entered, but the one you entered was more in keeping with the ‘noise experiment’ challenge … this version would have got some votes
