This song is based around a sample that I took of my dish washer. The sample starts out simple enough and then gets more chopped up at the end. The song evolved from there. Also in this song is a new pedal I got that is a photo theremin. You change the pitch of the theremin based on how much light is hitting the sensor. Another interesting thing is that nothing was quantized in this song! I’ve gotten criticism in the past that some of my productions sound too robotic so I tried to be a bit more organic on this one. Thanks for listening and please leave a comment good or bad!

Yes - I love it. Very brooding sound, but I suppose that's how a dishwasher should be!

those are all good points. I thought about putting more crowd noise in during the song; I should experiment more with that. This piece would benefit from more percussion, but there are several tempo changes in there and I don't have good drum samples for that. The midi drums on my software sound like sh*t so I decided just to pull the track out of the oven and serve it up as it is. When are you going to post more tracks? I want to hear what else you've got to offer us. And let me know when you're ready for the robot voice sample.

hey fella, check yer email. I left you some info about the computer voice effect.
Thanks for these sounds and for your helpful comments on 'For Joy.' For horn sounds, I use a combination of my own horn [acoustically/live recorded] and Garageband symphony samples [one of the 'jam packs']. The EQ-ing and time-based effect mix seems crucial. Having a long history around brass, I just try to adjust all of the above to get them to blend and sound reasonably natural. As to relative 'prolificness,' I've been out of full-time work for too long. I teach part-time and have a backlogue of things that I tend to re-vamp. Bless you and your efforts, man. kss

Bizarre and terrific. I'd have had no clue what it was if you hadn't said. Great sample. What were you playing it through?

Sounds like a heartbroken fishing boat starting its shift, and people think fishing boats don't have hearts.
