A Hozpitality Prog Rock “In-Joke”…

Leave a comment

“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®.

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!)

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

2 Comments

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.

The Continuing Audio Saga of Job Hunting in Amurka (aka Halloo Meester Glabeeyl): Episode #1

3 Comments

I have decided to start recording my potential job “Whoppertunities®”.

This is the first of hopefully many audio bits of recruiters calling me with job opportunities. Essentially, they are the people who will be representing me to my future dream employer. I suppose this IS the best person to do that. (Sigh). Odds are, well, I’m still looking for work….

Our first contestant in this series needs some serious slowing down or something. I like how long it takes her to find my name on the prostitute du jour list.

Here she is a little slower. Try not to laugh, I laughed it all out!

And, just to show I care, here she is SLOW but with a funky beat for no particular reason.

More to come… Get all excited! Any ideas, or comments? I’m all in!

Hozpitality Preview? PIANO BUBBLES!

Found a new VST (virtual synthesizer template) called “KRUUD” (I am hoping it is not pronounced like “crud”) that had a really nifty arpeggiator where you can discreetly control the keys after the initial note.  Hard to explain but cool to hear.

I added on some reverb and delay thanks to the LiquidVerb VST, and I recorded it in Audition (no overdubs, thats why it is more pleasant noise than music) and added a nifty stereo panner/swapper effect before mix-down.

Is this totally neato or what?
