Some very hot molten tracks were laid down tonight!!!

Brian and I laid down some shit with:

  • his phone app, Caustic
  • Korg Electribe Sampler
  • Korg Kaossilator Pro
  • Korg MiniKP (red box)

Here’s the hot sexy results.

Try not to think you are in a Baretta chase scene with this one called “Crystal Shit”:

This is a long ride, but worth it for the ending.

Leave comments and prepare ideas. Hozpitality’s new album is coming at you like an electronic tsunami!!!!!!

A Hozpitality Prog Rock “In-Joke”…

“Aren’t they all?!”

So, I was messing around tonight after re-re-reinstalling my ableton 9 pro suite deluxe with wings. I think I got it installed now (finally).  I thought i’d noodle around with a weird noise or two and make a mess.

I call this masterpiece (at 43 seconds) “Bruford Gives Up”.

Bill Bruford Plays a Dream Cheeky Drum Set

It brings to mind Bruford’s playing in King Crimsons “Requiem”.   Also, it has smacks of the “dream cheeky orgasm” drum solo.

But I learned a pinch about Ableton 9 Live Pro Studio Ultra Deluxe Full Blown Suck You Dry version®.

Just preppin for the arrival of the Electribe Sampler… (its comin dammit! they billed me already!)

Slot Machine Noise Malfunction + Effects = Curiousity

I was playing my stupid Jackpot Party Casino game on my phone. I was winning big.  When you win big in a slot machine, the music plays a repetitive arpeggio or loop while it totals (or dramatically counts up) your winnings.   For some reason when I won on this slot machine, the “count your money up” loop got stuck on my phone.

Before the app crashed, I plugged my phone into the Korg Kaoss Pad (aka the red box) and tortured the loop with effects.

Put this in your headphones and check it out! Play it loud! Try to identify all the different effects going on. Half the time, its not even altering an audio source. The red box snatches up a sample and lets you torture it in mid-air. It’s TOO POWERFUL!!! 🙂

snow, Snow, SNOWWWW! (and Rosemary Clooney cannot sing!)

snowdead

 

This song is played on the Mike O’meara show when they discuss the snowy forecast.

It’s Bing Crosby, Danny Kaye, and Rosemary Clooney.  Rosemary has got to be one of the most talentless singers ever.  Between her and Keeley Smith,  I don’t know who is more boisterous and flat.  The opening attempt at harmony makes Hozpitality sound good.

Play this song as you throw out your back shoveling.  Be sure to be playing this as your car skids out of control on the highway ending your meaningless life in the…

snowwwwwwww…. Snowwwwwwwwwww…. SNOWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW….

A Hozpitality Bit – Synchroid Inclusion

So I was bored while everyone was watching the Winter Olympics in SoCheee and I started playing with the Synchroid Application (“App”) on my Android phone. Synchroid is a simple application where you scribble sound on the phone screen and you can reprocess it through a few synthesizer processors to make a nifty loop. I came up with a loop today in Synchroid that, probably because of Olympic level boredom, sounded TO ME like a nifty musical loop. I couldn’t get enough of it, so I decided to put it into a song.

SYNCHROIDINCL

What is special about this is, it would be the first time I made music with:

1. The Korg Kaossilator Pro
2. Pre Built Acid Loops
3. The Bass Guitar
4. and MY TELEPHONE using Synchroid (this of course being the unused tool in my music making thus far).

It came out neat. I put in the loops from the Synchroid phone app first, then the Pre Built Acid Loop drums, and then a drum loop from the Kaossilator. At this point I thought, it had been a while since I broke out the bass guitar, dusted it, tuned it and (once again) TRIED to play it. This is why you hear the shoddy sloppy bass playing in the back of the whole thing.

BOTTOM LINE: I had fun doing it and it killed a few hours. It’s only 2:18 minutes so, tell me what you think of Synchroid Inclusion.
