Story:
Making a 'thing' with ten random samples isn't a doddle! When I first arrived at Tapegerm (following Blind Mime from Songfight) I was all about songs and lyrics. Now, obviously, not so much. I used an old Mac with Logic 8 and dragged the ten samples in... and left them where they fell. Then re-used some elsewhere. I never knew the pope liked cornichon - I hope that's what the french translates as, not that it matters. The end result, with an addition of a one take voice track is odd, nay weird. So 'weird' is its genre. All in all 'twas BIG FUN! Onto No. 2.
Love it, Nick! Crazy how all the randomness propels this forward. Looking forward to more.
Excellent piece Nick! I to love it.
