<p>MIDI drums and some FM percussion under live-synthesized dual leads.<br />
One channel is an ADSR signal output used as a control voltage to sweep evenly down through a series of harmonized sine waves in a wavetable oscillator.<br />
These sweeps themselves change pitch according to simple MIDI sequence.<br />
The same sequence is also triggering a synth in the other channel - also a sine with slight FM modulation and heavy tremolo (almost like a "phone off the hook" sound).<br />
The nursery room melodies of this and many other recent songs are inspired by the idea of what Karl Orff called "streetsongs" - simple figures anyone can play as an ensemble. The timbres of the electronic instruments are the main focus here. </p>

The pulse width of the square wave that runs underneath is being widened and narrowed by a slow-ish LFO sweep.</p>

<p>Part one is a mangled organ sample using the Doepfer A-112 wavetable function with an offset/attenuated LFO hitting various tables (the sample is cut up and pieces of it are treated as playable waves that are arbitrarily ordered in a grid).<br />
Part two is live FM synth and a different set of (prepackaged) wavetables played with a different module.<br />
The beats are Reaktor Rhythmmaker.</p>

<p>This song has a message and the message is "I don't care." (Technical note to self: the main synth is the A-112 wavetable playing a sample of the Vermona Perfourmer and harmonizing with another Perfourmer riff played simultaneously with the same MIDI notes. The guitar amp-like vibrato is made with an ADSR envelope's control voltage plugged into the A-112's CV in.)</p>

<p>The song is kind of jazzy and the title is kind of a parody of a jazz song title from the '50s. This is a substantial reworking of a song I don't yet have the fortitude to post, with the working title "Barney's Bag (Chipmunks)," which features chipmunk-like vocalese made with live FM synthesis.<br />
This version has the synth-bass-piano combo I've been working with in recent songs; I had to write some harmony to make this work. (Monk meets Glass in a robo-carwash.)</p>
