Jellyfish In A Stolen Hovercraft

Description

A while ago I wrote something in one of the forums where I made up the song name "Jellyfish In A Stolen Hovercraft" as a random example to make some point about something. Well, with encouragement from Mystified I decided to make a song for the name.

It was just a fun afternoon project using some sound effects, loops and live flute and vocals.

Yes, that is me singing with voice modulation.

Some occasional swearing and lots of jellyfish skat.

	Man can that jellyfish sing! This is a lot of fun, and that art is very cool. Nice panning going on too. Reminds me of a story, I think it was "Big Jelly" by Bruce Sterling, where entrepreneurs found a way to make giant, flying jellyfish. Check out my latest song called Machine Man (w Beastie Boys)

Hilarious!!
Where is the jellyfish dude? Sign him on for some GREAT
scat-singing!

Peter....THANK YOU for this! When you posted that song
title in the (song art?) forum thread, I just had to hear
what it might be. Was hoping that someone of your wit
and musical creativity would take me up on it...and I'm
delighted you did!

Every bit as good as I imagined it would be! :)

	Hilarious!! Thanks, Mysti. Glad you liked it. Now I have to make a song for "Ten Pallets Of Chinese Hot-Pants For My Sweetheart", another hypothetical song title I came up with somewhere else in the forums. Check out my latest song called From Nothing

	I love this kind of stuff! Fun and quirky and inventive, too... this reminds me of something you'd see on Spongebob Squarepants... but that sound is from the Jetsons, of course... so maybe a jellyfish tied up Spongebob and stole his hovecraft and... I think I watch too much TV. Check out my latest song called Gossamer dissected

	Insane! This is far out Peter, even on this I can hear the value of the new gear. Great production, everything is so , , , alive and active! It's one thing to have a good song, but to nail the production as well is icing on the cake. Another brilliant track. Check out my latest song called Lost In Translation (w Mike Watkins)

	Traffic violation We hereby issue a ticket for speeding in a stolen hovercraft on the wrong side of the freeway at 96 miles per hour with open containers in the vehicle. Police have audiotaped the chase, denial is futile. "Click here to play" to access recording. Check out my latest song called Easy Groovin

	And some subtle quoting.... ...From SGF? Am I mistaken?...This is one UNinhibited jellyfish, definitely NOT jammin' up ANY groove inside... Y'know, Peter, I never really 'got' the George Jetson influence on your music, but now I'm going back for a re-listen... Fun. Ed Check out my latest song called Next Time Around (w/jiguma)

	Jellyfish vibe Oooh ... well, this is different! Nice bit of experimental soundscape ... original and with plenty going on. I like it! Check out my latest song called Amongst The Colours (w/ Luna Trick)

	Surrounding Excellent use of stereo, quite reminiscent of "on the run" by Pink Floyd in that sense. The odd rythms of speech with the swing cymbals produce an authentic Jazzy effect. Check out my latest song called Galactical Universe

drawing a smile...
from this dragon (and his kids)! This was very well done
Peter! Great overall concept (from Mysti's drawing board
to your light table), masterfully crafted into a non-stop-
smirky-joyride! This evokes vivid imagery while listening.
I thought you did wonderfully with the fun skat-singing,
great instruments and effects, nice mixing, and humorous
and detailed song art to boot! 8s across for coming up
with such a catchy creation from an offhand forum
remark! Kudos & Calamari!
ttfn,

	Las Bragas said 1573 days ago (August 2nd, 2005)
	Manic and yet...cool Other than there perhaps being too much siren sample - I dig this. Sums up the whirl of emotions of a busy city uptown at night. Flashing lights, the roar of cars, the love the anger...

Manic and yet...cool
Thanks, Las Bragas. I appreciate your taking the time to comment. But from
how you and one or two other people have described the music I think
perhaps you are misinterpreting what is supposed to be going on. It's not
supposed to be a soundscape of a busy city. It's supposed to be about
jellyfish stealing a hovercraft and being persued by the police, hence the siren
sound that always follows the hovercraft sound zipping around and the angry
hovecraft owner yelling obscenities. It's basically a chase scene contrasted
with the cool indifference of the thieving jellyfish.

I'd hoped that that basic story would be evident from the title and the sounds.
I'm not offended that you and perhaps one or two others may not have gotten
it. I just want to clarify. Yeah, if it were just supposed to be a city
soundscape then the use of the siren would be excessive for sure.

	Haha Man, I out my headphones on for this one, and damn, that's some serious panning. I dug this - the whole jazz drum beat in the backround. This shows how much fun this program can be, and how you should never take the art of music too serious. Check out my latest song called Lost

	eclectic awesome fusion of various sound effects and vocals...it's like the jetsons goes to seaworld...very jazzy...this should have been a feature song in the movie "shark tales"

	Too Much Fun! Thanks, Stevo, four times even. It's nice to get a comment from you as you were one of the first MacJammers I listened to and fav'ed when I joined last December and I don't think I've seen you around since back then.

	Nice! This is a great little aural collage -- silly, inventive, and just a little bit nuts. It makes me think of something that might have been playing on a random radio in a Firesign Theater piece. Nice work.

	Laughed my tenticals off This was one of the funnest songs I've heard. Very nicely done. Great piece. Can you tell me the type of jellyfish those were? They sounded like Medusas but I'm not too sure. Downloaded. Check out my latest song called Maple Leaf Rag v2
