Hi peeps,
I've been away from the list for months now, busy with work and our
baby, but I've decided to start making more of an effort to see what
people are up to and also to do something myself.
Here's what I'm working on. The bass is just not going right for me
at all. I wish I had a bass guitar. And the ability to play it.
This is kinda the intro - although it won't be particularly
lyrically complex, it will have more than just this phrase repeated
throughout. Excuse my singing, it's my first go.
http://dis-dot-dat.net/wip1.mp3
I've probably missed lots of other people's great stuff. If anyone
has any recommendations, please pass them on!

Nice start. The singing is actually fine for this, you just have to show
more confidence.

Was my veiled request that obvious? :)
I'm surprised it worked at all. It's recorded on a hands-free
skype-type thing that cost 10 euros and it was all done in one
recording - I sand each part after the other and didn't know if they'd
fit until I chopped out all my giggling in audacity.
Flattery!

Sounds fun to try.

How are you creating these sounds? I love them!

Thanks :)
The lead is a watercan somewhat similar to this one:
http://www.daylily-discounters.com/images/watercan1.jpg
but made of plastic. I 'played' it using a wet towel on the handle.
This caused the partly water-filled body to resonate, an effect I
discovered while cleaning the living room :)
There are some effects on it, but they don't alter the sound much.
The wet signal is fed through a delay before the reverb to have a
big room without muddying up the main signal. That's what it's
supposed to achieve, at least :)
Everything else is made of samples from my Windows days, as this
thing started as a Cubase session (without the can). Quite a number
of effects on it, most notably several instances of an Auto Phaser.
The idea behind it was and is to make some kind of alien ethno
music :)

Well, it certainly sounds like it. You should create some sample
packs - there are some very beautiful sounds in there that the rest of
us probably wouldn't happen upon or imagine.

Interesting idea. I played with the thought of offering some loops
and samples before. But I'm always busy and would prefer to inspire
people to create their own sounds :)

It's all just messing around with stuff until I'm happy with the result.
Sometimes with something specific in mind, but often enough random, to

Just listened to this (and listening again): love the organic sound you've got here.
Reminds me of 'Lifeforms'-era Future Sound of London.
Great stuff, so thanks!

It sounds really nice, but you are insane. Every few seconds I hear
it differently: it goes from Vangelis to UB40 to Kitsch to Blur and
everything in-between without actually changing. And it has a sense
of humour between the melancholy.
I really like the lead synth. You've probably noticed I like grungy
distortion on synths :)
