"Wonky Wee"

"Wonky Wee" [mp3 removed]

A familiar advertisement gets samplidelified. Apologies to the composer John Michael Boling for the use of his sound art piece. Mostly done with Cubase and Kontakt 2.

Update: removed two seconds that was throwing off the beat near the end.

Update 2: Added some pitched percussion to the beginning--just a few notes to make the buildup more interesting.

"FM Fatale"

"FM Fatale" [mp3 removed]

Have been teaching myself how to program frequency modulated (additive) synthesis using the FM7 synth, an NI softsynth modeled on the '80s-vintage Yamaha DX7. "Program" rather dignifies it--it's not as if I'm writing the algorithms, just making my own patches within the synth's rather arcane "operator matrix." About half of this song is "my" sounds made that way and the rest factory presets. The rhythm at the beginning is an 808 loop that I am using as "audio in" to the FM7 for effects.
