"Software Caddy II" [mp3 removed]
Was posting several songs a month for the last few years but got distracted by GIFs. Am almost up to 500 tunes, including remixes and collaborations. This one is done using some Reaktor beatbox presets with fairly heavy reverb and compression, and a few club stabs when my attention started lagging. Deep, noisy bass that a competent masterer would probably sculpt a little more.
Update: Oops, forgot to add the metadata. Reuploaded.

Am not sure if human kibble is dogfood for people or something like Soylent Green, but most products advertised in the catalog are not pet food. Mine were hardware--couplings and tool chests. The way the show worked is, Alexander posted real retail catalog pages that he found, and participants were asked to make GIFs of them. The pages were so middlebrow it was a serious challenge to think of anything creative to do with them. Mine are under-manipulated, but I wanted the essential banality of the original layouts to shine through.
Update: Sentences reordered for journalistic "flow."
Update 2: JO says Human Kibble is a reference to Philip K Dick's Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?--haven't read it in a while, will hunt for an excerpt.
