lyrics
A basically simple, fun and strange song, that grows and grows! The initial voice sample was from a 3 second section I chopped and stretched to fit a rhythm. All sounds other than drums are made from that clip.
There are things I did initially with this, that made the final mixing a lot more difficult than they maybe should have been, and I spent so long on this one that I no longer really know what it sounds like, (and I don't really know what I am doing with mixing, I still have a hell of a long way to go), but, I still think it is a nice little piece, so I hope you will check out its full jaunt.
Inspired I guess by the more minimal, weird, earlier sounds of Autechre and Aphex Twin, but I know it doesn't actually sound like those uberlords of electronica!
