Day 167: Inspired by the Unseen

The invasion had finally reached land.  They started on the coast and began moving inland.  Every continent at the same time.  The fly-over states were the last ones to go.  We had been hiding in our bunker for days, waiting for the explosions to begin.  When they finally did we ran outside.  Idiots.  We did the last thing you're supposed to do, but of course we wanted to see the aliens.  It turned out to be a pretty good thing that we ran out since our bunker got blown up about ten seconds after we ran out of it.  I turned and looked at my dad, helpless.

"The airport!" he said, and we both took off toward the car.  He didn't make it.  They shot him in the back.  I'd say it was a terrible way to die, but actually it was preferable to slavery and eventual consumption by the invading hordes.

We didn't believe that was what they were doing for awhile, but eventually someone stumbled on their throwaways.  A pit of body parts and half-eaten limbs.  In some cases there were heads with collars still attached to the necks.  The alien tech was so advanced that we couldn't begin to crack even their most basic design, but their collars, what seemed to be a simple radio transmission system of tracking and controls, was too advanced for us to understand.

We didn't stand a chance.

Day 87: Ambient for the win!

While perusing thru patches looking for the perfect arpeggiation sound I stumbled across one that turned my arpeggiated rhythm into a magical ambient patch.  This took what I was working on in a completely different direction.

Day 84: Down the Rabbit Hole

I would call this some "serious" experimentation with a few different rack extensions.

 Neutron

Buffre

Uhbik G



I sampled my son and myself talking about dinosaurs (just snippets - don't try to make sense of anything) then kind of deconstructed it all.  About the only thing that is really intelligible is me saying "What do you see?"

Day 83: Neutron Blond

First experiment with the Particle emitter.

Lyrics:
Can you feel the vibrations?

Day 27: The Day My Son Rolled Over for the First Time

Henry, my youngest son rolled over for the first time today.  He's almost four months old.  Needless to say, his mother and I are quite proud.

This track has nothing to do with it, but it felt important to mention the occasion.  This was the first attempt at incorporating ReVolt Rack Extension into a track.  Not sure I really did anything with it in this case, but it was there, measuring digital "voltage".  Sugarbytes Slice Arranger gets an honorable mention for it's cool performance at the end of the track.  Oh yeah, I mangled the vocal part with Uhbik-G and a Pulsar.

Lyrics:
Why don't you grin and bare it?
You'll probably have to share it.
You'll probably have to wear it.
Why don't you grin and bare it?
