ClassicNo2

Ok time for something a little freaky: http://soundcloud.com/aaudiomystiks/classicno2
 
One from the vault, this was done as my Midi project at RMIT University and done in Logic a program I was not terribly familiar with at the time, even though my first sequencer was Logic 4 on Windows.
 
The track I suppose is the electronic equivalent of being buffeted at sea in an ancient Greek Trireme.  Normally I would remix and remaster these tracks but all the files have been buffeted in the wind.  Enjoy

    Got interesting during the second half when you added the vox. Bit of a Lars Ulrich vocal style... Sorta Metallica meets Devo.

    Yeah, believe it or not? The "theme" actually came through for me? But overall? I wasn't a fan.

    All you need is love, just ask the Beatles?

    There's something hypnotic about your stuff - the 2nd half gets really freaksome. 
    Good serial killer movie music - right at the end of the movie when it's getting really tense.

      I had to listen.... I think Lady Gaga ripped the melody from this for one of her tunes....  close enough for copyright infringement.....? IDK.... I;m not a Gaga fan but it sounded a bit like her..... or did it? 

    I was a bit concerned at first when I saw that you called this "a little freaky"..... 

    Ben you stuff is alway a little freaky in an interesting sort of way. 

    I like listening to your stuff because it's definitely not your average run of the mill music.

    Wow, from Meh, thanks James, to I like it but I don't and everything inbetween.

    Thanks guys, I really bemoan the fact that I am missing the files for this track, it's nothing special but the sonic wind which is me bending the guitar strings is what I like and the menacing "cause I'm on it" 

    This is actually the 2nd peice in a series, the first being Classic No1 but I can remix that. I'm using the Floyd idea of one or two note electronic jams, this one doesn't really go anywhere but Classic One does, end up somewhere if that makes any sense. 

    What I do have at the moment is two albums worth of material, and two different styles, which I am calling Acoustic Wizard (after Marc Bolan) and Electronic Warrior also after the Great Mark Bolan.

    I have a plan to take some of these electronic bits and pieces and put them into the matrix editor and by way of my footboard, Ipad and Iphone control some sort of one man Pink Floyd style live art nut job peice LoL.  Interspliced with acoustic numbers and jam peices, hopefully I will add some video too.

    Just got to wait to buy two importent items in the next two months, my footboard and a small P.A, which I have budgeted for.  But it means more poordom for my art.

    Thannks as always for your support!!

    Strange, unusual, off the beaten path, unpredictable, and creepy (in a good way) all at the same time.  What's in the water you're drinking?  I've gotten used to the fact that you're going to surprise us every time.  If this was food, you'd have to invent a category for it.

    All the best,

    Enb, this really needs to go somewhere and develop mate.

    I'd seriously consider a rewrite/re-record, you have enough going on here to make it worthwhile taking it to the next level. It might just be me, but I can hear the makings of a good reggae song in there, maybe add a bit of syncopated rhythm guitar.

    Well Lynn, as I have come to realize and particular after all the fracas of the last few weeks, is here I go again.  I am an artist, so I don't understand boundry's.  So nothing in the water supply, maybe a few jazz cigarettes but nothing too heavy.  Also I'm in control of my art, although I let it tell me where it needs to go.

    I was really pissed at the time because I was being made to work in Logic, which in my opinion was a inferior program to Sonar (There you go Cake) so I thought I will show you and I will show you that once you master the basics most programs are the same, it's just the workflow and the sounds.  Once again Sonar had the jump.

    If I rememeber I might have done the sonic wind (guitar) and vocals in Sonar using Creamware cards, the effects that came with those cards nobody else had.  Hence some of the uniqueness in the sounds.

    Steve, I wish I could I don't think I have any of the files apart from two different masters, and this forms the 2nd movement of a two peice composition.  Classic No1 being the first movement, I should have put that up first because it is a superior peice and puts this peice into context.

    Daryl, I don't even understand dubstep!!!  Man I am 36 years old and I don't understand these monikers and genre's.  I hate boxes.

    What I am going to do is take all these threads and bits and peices and turn it into a Floyd show.  I've just got to stave off bankrutcy and starvation and purchase another $1000 of equipment over the next two months.

    That means more time spent in my reasonably luxurious prison, but the The Drunk Chef is ready to go I've got the cash (at the expense of everything else) for my video editing program.  Now I have to wait for my new 8 gig 4g wireless router modem to turn up.

    I don't even have X1 downloaded and installed.

    I'm the equivalence of Greece when it comes to GDP and debit Ratio, Ican't even afford to buy the 2 cables I need to hook the 2000 dollar compressor, I mean how daft is that.  I have a peice of equipment worth 2000 dollars and it's jut gathering dust.

    This is what comes of having too many ideas at once.

    Oh well.

    Neb

    When did your prescription run out 

    What perscription???  I don't have any drug related problems, am I a self-asorbed narscistic ass (there you go dayrl) yes.
     
    But apart from having this super speedy brain, I am pretty normal.
     
    If you continue to do the things that you did in your 20's well into your 40's, that is sad and for me boring!!!!
     
    Everybody is on some form of drug, I've suggested to many members of this forum read Food of The Gods, by Terrance McKenna, in it he explains the perils of coffee and suger and in fact all the pirates of the caribbean crap was the spanish fighting the english over suger.  Then there was the tea and opium wars which led england to take Hong Kong.
     
    Also in this book he suggests that it was our ancestors wandering the fields of Africa, this is when we still had some ape like features: we took magic mushrooms and this is what gave us consiouness or the ability to think.
     
    Also try Aldous Huxly: The Doors of Perception, this is a revered man an academic and interlectual of the highest order, who got his wife to inject him on his death bed with pure LSD.
     
    Also try Carlos Castanda's Don Juan series.
     
    Ask a silly question Jonas and I will give an interlectual answer!!!

    This is an ancient version of White and Nerdy.

    I agree with Frank.. it is interesting... and somewhat compelling... hypnoti too.

    Thanks Daryl, yes I am ancient and nerdy LoL but I am one of the warriors on that Greek tireme as I traverse the electronic seas of the Agean
     
    It will probally make more sense when I put up its sister track and the first movement.
     
    I always do strange things like not put up the first piece first.
