Delightful bit of technical wizardry here... as well as a good sense of build-up and rhythm. Knowing that all this was from a single second sample makes it even more impressive, but still a fun listen on its own.

This is inspiring. Thanks for this. I agree, with douglasboyce, there is a rhythm here generated from the spoken word. And about a billion miles from rap!

I am singing/vocalizing audio to accompany short scenes in a film made by an artist friend of mine. She calls it "Pattern Pattern". This segment goes with a snowy scene where shadows move in and out like wolves.

Thanks, Invisible. It could use a kick! Since I've dedicated myself to using only sounds extracted from my radio interviews (made by human voices) I am somewhat limited. Clearly, there's a lot I can do (creating bell tones from overtones, pumping up what low end is there) but using these sounds means I end up pointing to or approaching music. That's what's so interesting to me about the project. I think more it more as audio sculpture than music, but there's a fine line!

very cool collage! Sounds like the soundtrack to a music documentary trailer! And yes, I do wish that I was still living in the jungle! I miss waking up to birds and monkeys in the trees.

Hey Jennifer... Joe Stephens here...
Glad you posted this sound byte with "the gospel" as the background music. I love what you did with the montage!!! Good luck in all your future endeavors.

i made this song up real fast. and i obviously threw it into the computer real fast. i have trouble with levels. but then again, that's what the songs about. let's hear it for Temper Tantrums!

Thank you. The film is a series of observations of patterns in the world. Foam on the windshield in a carwash, a tarp blowing in the wind, that sort of thing. I am improvising the music as I watch each vignette. A glorious project!
This is another track resulting from a project in my digital music class at Oasis Charter Middle School (Spring 2007). Using a common pool of objects, my newborn daughter's baby instruments, I asked the students to create episodic sound illustrations…
Well, there was this Spectrasonics contest... and songs had to be submitted by June 30th... so we finally started working on this one on the evening of the 29th. Yeah. We procrastinate.
102nd & Amsterdam is dedicated to by father, Raymond Boyce; this was the first of many New York addresses for him. My fathers stories of growing up in New York in the 40's and 50's cemented in my mind the idea of New York as The City, an idea…

Every single sound source on this tune comes from a cheesy 70's Capitol Records promotional record. A great record, mind you, complete with faked dialogues between engineer and producer. At times, it's messy, so hold onto your faders.
You score extra points for coming up with the word, "bioelectrophilia" I'm sending one of my classical music buddies who wants to get into electronica (good electronica) over here to listen to your stuff.
This song is actually part 2 of a 10 minute set I did on my laptop. I broke it into 3 separate songs. Part 1 and 2 were my favorites, as part 3 just based itself on a copyright free sample I did nothing with. I like this one most because of the…

Very impressive! Amazing how you can get it to sound like a band of marching soldiers from about 2 minutes in. From a swallow. Wow!
I love what you have done on all these tracks and greatly appreciate the info provided under "about" Thanks!
I just read the about section of this song. That's crazy!
Nice rhythmic interplay between the elements. Reminds me of a horse on a cobblestone road!
very nice! you find great rhythms in the language...
I love it! So much beauty get's ignored in those short nanoseconds!
I really liked this one. It was interesing
Thanks, Johnny & Invisible!
Wow this is good very clever well done Jennifer
Respect, totally the other end of the spectrum from me.

HI Jennifer: I'm enjoying your Swallowing Bells. Question: how do you upload a pic of myself? I just joined.
Oh Yeah...this is excellent
Like it, it's begging for a 808 kikdrum bassline.

Yes. Yes again.
More from Anthony! Sweet. I could drink a bottle of your voice.
Excellent, stamma. Keep strong and keep documenting.
Thank you! More clips on the way. The film is months from being ready, but we'll find a way to share!
To Mr. E: Sure, feel free to use the track! Thanks for giving a hoot. I've got a few more tracks in the works I'll upload later.
Great idea. And hey, I'll clap for you.
This is my kind of playing around.

Inspiring. "Yes, you can". Spread the word.
Bummer. I can't get this one to play. Your title reminds me of a name I know--Mars Bass Man--plays gigs with DJMasonic. Is that you?
Rich construction. Doesn't leave me thirsty. I really like this one.
I love this track. Is there a gamelan in there somewhere? How'd you get that spicy, non-western wink in the sound?
P.S. Great bunch of string players you've got here. Wow!
I've known people who fit the description of your father and (in memory) they sound and feel exactly like this. Bravo!
A Very cool idea well executed!
Oops! Forgot to log in. That was I.

Crispy delicious!
Showing some above average creativity here, Phantom.
Sass, spice; has hips. I like it!
