A recording from my sister Inga, her fiance Jeff and me playing some friendly songs in their living room.
Inga singing and hitting a bell, Jeff turntabling, me playing my baritone.
Another track labelled ‘hahm’.
I almost BINned everything AUdibly RALated to this.
I’m too lazy to come up with a sentence that has ‘beat’s’ in it.
Field recording of an alarm, chopped and screwed.
Chopped by an eq that is, hoooo. And a compressor.
Went home on lunchbreak.
Max/msp with the wonderful freeverb external.
Piano and water were recorded at the same place,
so you’re not allowed to be mean and think I just decided to throw some water sounds on top.
That’s not me. I only throw awkwardly recorded field recordings of people walking on top of everything. Embarassing!
This is part of something I was doing for the tron legacy release, Logic decided to turn the tempo up a couple thousand bpm’s.

A test-bounce of one possible beginning of a composition I’ve been meaning to do more work on for a while.
