Description:
All my music stuff is still packed away from moving, so I could only use existing GB recordings and my acoustic guitar. The ambient drone is 6 bars of the loop reversed and significantl slowed down. Everything else is either my acoustic guitar or my daughter whining. The title comes from when my wife was holding our son and daughter, but crying about something. They were being turds and she had quite a collection going. She doesn't actually collect feces (that I know of).

I probably won't scare Dr. Lioli off much, but it was fun to step outside my normal process.

Hardware:
Yamaha Acoustic guitar

Software:
GB08, Audacity

oh for shit's sake &mdash 09/27/08 - 10:42:52 PM
A fun project. I did the majority of it at the dentists office, of all places. Thanks for listening!

Spooky about cover it &mdash 09/27/08 - 05:44:14 PM
until you get to the change up. Then it gets just plain crazy.

All things considered, (like you equipment is in a box) you did a really great job that I'm sure will scare the bejesus out of the Evil Dr. He's gonna figure, "If this is what they can do without their equipment, I don't want to hear what they can do with it. I', Doomed")

Great job Len

Thanks Feter &mdash 09/27/08 - 10:47:20 PM
Yeah, I had to use the guitar amp settings to get the extra guitar sounds. I didn't really have time or the resources for anything else. The timing is off all over the place but I just kept each idea I came up with and let it go. I figured a song that's supposed to sound crazy shouldn't sound perfect.

Very Scary (those kids can be...) &mdash 09/27/08 - 06:36:33 PM
Sounds like the thoughts of a schizophrenic who's been given the wrong dose of the wrong medication. Lots of emotional torment - I dig it!

[ Reply to This ]
Thanks! &mdash 09/27/08 - 10:49:51 PM
Instead of working on my kids album I should start working on an album for Schizos. An untapped market, unless you count Wesley Willis. Thanks for the listen and the comment!

tight, very clean sounding even with the distorted bits...and very creative..love the artwork too.

Excitebike is badass. You know you were all about making your own track. More jumps than ever made sense.

Thanks for stopping by and listening to the tune. It was completely mixed on my iPod headphones so I'm not real sure about the mix... I'll just have to take your word for it. Thanks!

LOL, certainly made me laugh &mdash 09/28/08 - 04:40:42 AM
You can tell you had fun with this project. Great guitar playing and interesting textures of sound that you have created.
Its mad, how and where you created this. Cool track. Reminds me a little of Radiohead (I hope that is a compliment).

[ Reply to This ]
thanks. &mdash 09/28/08 - 11:01:24 AM
it was actually my daughter's dentist appt. She was being sedated so the appt was like 2 or 3 hours. I just messed around with the loop the whole time and came up with everything but the guitar parts. Since she was so drugged up after the appt I thought it would be funny to play this for her. She didn't seem as affected.

You did THIS at the dentist's office? &mdash 09/28/08 - 07:48:15 AM
Are those things drills grinding away in the background? Dentist offices are scary to begin with, but paint this in as a soundtrack and it's a nightmare of surreal proportions.

You've scared Dr. Lioli, hell - you've scared ME. I'm going to go brush and floss now.

[ Reply to This ]
haha &mdash 09/28/08 - 11:03:59 AM
I guess we're all inspired by our environments. I'm glad I could help scare Dr. Lioli away. Judging from his teeth in those videos, he could use some dental care himself. At least a whitening.

Okay you have him Im sure Dr lioli can't take this pain sounds... Cool work like it... Cheers

for your listen and comment. I wish I could have done more work on a song because everyone seems to be posting great pieces. Thanks again!

the great thing about MJ, so much creativity. All the challenges kind of force you to think outside of the box and approach things differently.

Being &mdash 09/28/08 - 10:51:33 AM
stuck in the house all weekend with 3 screaming whinging kids, I really appreciate this. Kudos.

[ Reply to This ]
hahaha! &mdash 09/28/08 - 11:12:28 AM
Sounds like a lot of fun! I actually was trying to record my kids as they were both crying. I was going to effect it and put it on the track as another indistinguishable sound, but they quieted down before I got the chance. Hopefully yours do the same for you soon :).

[ Reply to This ]
This is....... &mdash 09/28/08 - 04:28:18 PM
....what this is all about. Who would ever let you get away with this on their own dime? I would, yeah.

I wish more could appreciate this kind of stuff.

Maybe, you have that same cheap, but good, Yamaha I have.

Good last track.

Dave

Yamaha &mdash 09/29/08 - 08:49:31 AM
It was cheap, but I'm not sure about good. The action is really high on it's pure murder. I've also beat it to hell throughout the years. I've got a screw in the neck where it connects to the body for a strap (which is why I don't get the action changed). But it works.

Glad you liked the tune. And you're right, this is what MJ is all about. Put anything you want together and let it fly. Who cares if anyone likes it or not?

I do like it.

Good point &mdash 09/29/08 - 03:52:23 PM
I'm just saying that I'm glad I don't have to worry about pandering to anybody. Think about all the great music that COULD be written if record execs disappeared.

[ Reply to This ]
Yep... &mdash 09/29/08 - 08:53:39 AM
...a nice departure for you, but very classy all the same. Great mix and great atmospherics. The change in the middle is very rewarding:-))

Unexpected and very cool. Nice one. But it needs a door slam at the very end - awww c'mon you know it makes sense!

[ Reply to This ]
hahaha &mdash 09/29/08 - 11:01:28 AM
A slamming door does make sense! Thanks for stopping by, Phil!

Very imaginative construction.
Great sound collage.
I didn't know dentists waiting rooms could spur such creativeness.
Very cool

It could stand to be a little weirder, but I didn't want to overdo it. Thanks for listening!

dude &mdash 09/29/08 - 03:09:27 PM
this is amazing. might actually be my favorite entry. it's just twisted. i like the treatment that you gave the loop, but beyond that, i'm just in love with the track itself. great job, now unpack your stuff.

[ Reply to This ]
well &mdash 09/29/08 - 03:22:26 PM
from the master of twisted ambient experimental stuff I will take that as a huge compliment. Thanks!

I had &mdash 09/29/08 - 04:29:06 PM
a dinckelberry collection right from inbetween My big toe and what ever toe that is next to it. I have to admit some came from my belly button. Like the build makes for good intensity. Cool song

[ Reply to This ]
That's &mdash 09/29/08 - 04:47:38 PM
such a deliciously bizarre comment. I hope some day you or your future family members can go on Antiques Roadshow and have your dinckleberry collected appraised.

I Think You Scared Dr Loioli &mdash 09/29/08 - 10:01:27 PM
The intro completely freaked me out, then the guitar came in, then the outro freaked me out!! I love being scared and freaked out!!! Wow Eric, there are some pretty frightening and beautiful sounds colliding in my headphones.

Your vocals are fantastic alongside that stringy changy accoustic guitar and that slightly distant exploding chunk of filthy feedback guitar noise.

Those fuzzy overdriven beats and the lead parts at the end are pure poetry.

[ Reply to This ]
Thanks &mdash 09/29/08 - 11:30:27 PM
I'm glad this song had such an affect on you. The drums were part of a loop that I just cut the bass and snare out of. It's way fuzzier out of context than when you hear it as the loop. But I think it works as a "someone needs to shave those drums" kind of sound. Thanks for your comment! Made my day!

[ Reply to This ]
Wow &mdash 09/30/08 - 04:58:35 PM
This is excellent - completely unexpected, and very effective. The change-up when those distorted drums kick in is riveting. Nice distortion too at the end! Truly original approach and it works like a charm. Very cool. Nicely done. Peace.

A very fun project that yielded some creative submissions. I really enjoyed what you came up with!

I wasn't even listening for the loop. Not a one of these are similar in any way. Thanks for scaring the Dr. off.
