Is there no passing phrase...
...that doesn't call forth composition from you, Bill?

Hmmm. That could almost be a joke... "That Bill and his music...just a passing phrase..."

And then THAT'LL probably end up as a title...

Dang, you sound like you're having fun, though. Hope it's true...

inspiration is all around us. at least, that is my belief.

yes, i'm having fun, but this tune is also a nod at the growing information overflow we are exposed to, and the desire to simply shut it all out once in a while and simply say "i don't want to hear about it".

thanks Ed

A sneak peek
this is your brain on Garageband? :-) So let me get this straight... the only way you can get these voices out of your head... is to share them with us, aye? Oh great... now these wacky voices will be with me for days... sounds like the the music that was performed at the Mos Isley Cantina in Star Wars, later that evening. Awesome little bass riff, simple and addictive. Love it... in a demented sort of way. :-)
ttfn,
Drakonis

actually, no voices in my head this time, just playing around. but some earlier songs dealt with a similar theme http://www.macjams.com/song/29157 - maybe i'm starting to repeat myself?

If you get the BBC (?) show "Night Garden", you'll hear similar vocal lines Bill. I really liked this - its creative and it rocks along. The build is excellent.

"Just a passing phrase" - I use phrases I hear a lot in starting out a set of lyrics. Can't do better really.

Love this Bill.

You're making me nervous
This track has a lot of energy, but it's a nervous kind of energy. Great driving bass, and a winning concept.

Catching up here
Danceably psychotic. Those jibbering 'talky' tracks sound like they were either a whole lot of work, or judicious application of a plug-in. Can you enlighten me on this?

In any event, great stuff!

glad you like it!

i had to look back at the project to review what i had done. all the voices originate from a single recording of me making silly vocalizations, coughing, and yelling "i don't wanna hear about it", and "oh "eck"

there are sixteen tracks with variously chopped up pieces of that recording, some with differing Vocal Transformer settings. some tracks route to the master reverb and echo buses.

there are ten tracks for the drum and bass, various modified loops for drums, original line for bass. the bass line was originally meant to have an eight note lead-in to the main beat, but i mixed it so the lead-in itself plays the role of the main beat too. it gives it a strange out-of-kilter feeling that way.

the whole thing goes through AUMultibandCompressor on the master

thanks for asking - it's fun describing my lunatic songs
