I had just found an old cassette with a recording of the Chudd Convention given to me by my brother years ago. He was and still is a big fan of Skinny Puppy and bought this record because of the band member connection between the two. I'd say that it's pretty much a dark ambient album for vocals. This has long been one of my favorite albums, and when I heard it again it inspired me to create this 4 part Untitled Piece for Vocals, Part 1 presented here. Parts 2 & 3 are sections/samples taken from the source recordings and played with/extended. I recorded Part 4 a week later and it just seemed to fit in with the others. Around this same time I was messing with vocal samples that I had taken from the internet of 2 women having sex. I have always been interested in vocals (strange because I am not a fan of my own voice, although I'm growing more accustomed to it). Artists like Makigami Koichi, Mike Patton & Jaap Blonk have always amazed me with how they are able to use their vocals to such a dramatic degree. This is my attempt to become more comfortable with my own voice while creating some amazing vocal drones. |

For the life of me, I can't remember what the original source recording for this track was.....all I do know is that at the time I had found some new tricks to manipulating sound with SoundForge 6.0 and this was the first track that I did as a result. Later, Josh (Skeletonne & Gojiro) and I did some recording, and I had a chance to try out the technique again, this time with a different effect. This one is recorded a little quieter on purpose....it sounds best loud on headphones... |

This is one of my most recent pieces for acoustic guitar and effects that I'm most proud of. I've done quite a bit of recordings on acoustic guitar, mostly stuff exploring polyrythms, this one I feel explores that then goes even further out there until it becomes a wash of noise. All the sounds are created live and put onto 4 Track. I'm moving further away from creating music and manipulating the source on computer, I don't think there's anything wrong with that, it's just I'm getting more interested in what I can create live instead of relying on post production. This is a perfect example, every sound that you hear is a manipulation of acoustic guitar and vocals (backwords, forwards, through effects, and the microphone in direct contact with the guitar) as it's layed down. I should also mention that the whole piece is just over 15 minutes long, so I've trimmed this in half to make it easier to download and to accomodate the limitations of MP3.com. |
