Description
My first song with GB. This song spans a few categories, so hopefully I chose one close enough. It is very ambient at the beginning, but there are beats later. Lots of loops here, but also some vocal parts and a few beats that I created myself.
The stoy behind this is:
I was fooling around in GB, laying down some loops, and I found a voice recording about blood on the pavement (in the track.) I molded part of a song around it, and then I got to thinking about the significance of the comment. My mind reeled with thoughts of all of the car/bus/train bombings that have been happening, and how the US is fighting to disarm certain countries. It all just made me feel like "the apocalypse is upon us." The picture made me think of how easy it is for people to get a hold of dangerous things. While you listen, think about the bastardization of freedom. Enjoy.

Lyrics
spoken:
This is Rory McCarthy, in Baghdad, reporting for Guardian Unlimited. There was another suicide car bombing in Baghdad this morning, and this time it was aimed at the party headquarters for [name], the Iraqi Prime Minister. A car bomber drove up to one of the checkpoints...

There was another suicide car bombing [repeats]
A car bomber drove up to one of the checkpoints outside the head office building, and detonated his car.
And detonated his car. [repeats]
The force of the explosion was... [repeats]
Blood becomes one with the pavement.
The foremost policy objective is removing weapons.
This is a test, this is only a test. Do not be alarmed.
The apocalypse is upon us.
End of transmission.

nailed the mood
wonderful sensibilities, nice assemblage. i liked the first part
of the song where you manipulated some of the loops a little
more, making them your own. really nice job on working in
the FX & vox. looking forward to more of your stuff.. keep
