Hi all,
Seems that this is the week of new songs. I recorded this on Tuesday
with my accomplice. I honestly cannot tell you what style it is...
spoken-word-slam-with-electroacoustic-free-improv. But I really
think of it as blues. Go figure (feel free to suggest a style). The
text is set in stone and in French (unfortunately for some of you, I
will try to come up with a translation because I think it is
worthwhile) and everything else is structured improv. The title is
Assoifée (Thirsty).
Anyways, for those curious about technical side of things: vox
(female), an Ibanez Roadstar, a 2" screw and a pen cartridge (I think
it's Parker, but cannot confirm right now), as well as a wiimote
(don't you love that electromagnetic interference) running through Pd
for extra spice. Tracked live in Ardour where I added a touch of
reverb to the unprocessed voice and maybe some slight compression here
and there but I cannot recall.

Very cool, Michael, excellent work. I'm not sure I'd call it a blues,
but it's pretty good stuff anyway. :)
Best,

It mostly seems to be voice - the other sounds are so much quieter as to
be almost inaudible to me. There was a spot I noticed where the voice
shifted to the right channel and back, I thought this was good and
started wishing there were some more positioning and effects applied to
her voice.

I like this one a lot!
It's the first song I listened to on my first day in Paris - so the French lyrics fit
right in.
(Writing this on the new Eee - as discussed on LAU)

Thank you all for your kind words.
David, I do not really understand your comment on the fact that it
seems to be just voice. I have listened to it on different sets of
speakers and headphones and I hear much more than just voice. Except
maybe on my crappy laptop speakers where a lot of detail is missing
but everything sounds really bad on those. On another hand, the voice
dominates intentionally (although I recon that for those who do not
understand French the text is of little value).
And it is now indexed on LAM as well. Thank you Joan for bringing it
up. I almost forgot about it.
More will be coming soon(ish) :)

I was listening to it through my USB sound card with its 2 line outs
going into an external stereo amp playing through a pair of 7" Radio
Shack Optimus stereo speakers. Everything except the voice was pretty
much inaudible to me unless I cranked it way up.
