CHAMPAIGN USA

there will be much roaring, much whimpering, cowering even, from the mighty rock. can you handle such rock? no, you can't. but you'll try, oh how you'll try, to carry on. there are tickets. there will be no t-shirts. no, don't cry, there will be other trinkets. there will be other bands. so many bands. so much rock. you, you really should stay away. you, you're just not ready. stay home. yes, the sofa. that's the place for you...

the random sound cavalcade will continue soon after the Great Phoenix returns to the ashes

random sound cavalcade #4

here's part two of untold hordes of quaint snippets from the inaugural our very lives are being compressed

random sound cavalcade #3

here's the first of several excerpts from the maiden voyage of the williwaw ensemble. the original recording was incredibly quiet, the subtlest hemming and hawing of the air... to achieve some sense of audibility, the recordings were compressed, and then, inadvertently, compressed several more times. the smallest artifact became the eighty-decibel elephant in the middle of the mix. despite the heavy-handed dynamism, the accidental prominence of one particular uke was still evident (the ensemble was assembled as a crude half-circle on a rug filled with 'ukuleles for their choosing). To stamp out such an uprising, further tweaking was applied, and the result became the first installment of the still on-going, if hardly living, project our very lives are being compressed.

random sound cavalcade #2

back for more waveform wrangling, it's the second and last (truly, a short-lived project) mfsb reduction, this time the source was my mood.

random sound cavalcade #1

here's something antiquely novel... the beginning of the end of a great new escapade: the embedded object.

today's feature is from a short-lived (like all things williwaw) project involving the waveform mangling of songs by mother father sister brother, otherwise known as MFSB. like most, nay, all of these side manglings, only one object - one particular song - was used, and only the dearly departed CoolEdit was used for mangling. for this one, the source was poinciana. on some hard drive in some remote undisclosed location, the full version of this exists. this was one of the several samples that were sent as a portfolio for some sort of sound-design position that was not to be had. perhaps, after reveling in these thirty seconds, the reason(s) will all be clear.
