I was working this out in my Mind the whole walk home. Tonight I walked home at 126 beats per minute. The whole process was made infinitely easier thanks to nin.com’s remix section, which is a cool idea.
Yesterday I was walking downtown, and I heard three sets of church bells go off at once. It sounded a little like this:
I only got the last third of it, because of all the fumbling to grab my camera and set it to movie-mode. Lightning reflexes here.
This was something I kept forgetting to do.
I made some effed up sounds to put at the end of one of my songs. I had most of it in place already, but it wasn’t quite right, and I solved that today:
The main bit was this weird “birds” preset off my sequencer (done a couple octaves lower than recommended), and the rest was just single organ notes with mega distortion and chorus added (that’s the part I was talking about earlier in this post, with the solving).
Hello, I am the last person on earth who still thinks the Apple speech generator is awesome. OutKast used it to start off Stankonia (O-U-T-K-A-S-T, with the “Bells” voice), but that was back in, like, 2000.
