Here’s a lame excuse to test out a very cool audio plugin for WordPress; I’m contemplating the idea of using it to occasionally post snippets of little aural experiments I’ve done to get feedback on. Most of them aren’t very good, so don’t get too excited.

About this one: we recorded a demo of a possible new song last Monday, during which I jumped on the keys and emitted a lot of ambient dreck. At the end, however, after the song had finished I stumbled upon a 4 bar moment that I kind of liked but never actually performed properly.

At 1am this morning Yimmy sent me an mp3 of the demo which inspired me to try and make something of that little 4 bars. I hacked it up mercilessly in CoolEdit and then dropped it into Audiomulch. What you hear is the hurried creation of various elements over the space of 30-45 minutes before wearily hitting the hay. The mix was quickly done just now to capture a snapshot of it in its early stages before I started playing around with it too much more.

I’m not sure what I think. I still like the sample but as for the direction this headed, probably not quite what I’m after.

Anyway, any comments? Like or hate?
