52.WKS :: one minute of original audio every week in 2011.

 

August 2011 Monthly Wrap-Up

 

Musical goal: do anything with the samples at hand

Technical goal: become one with Ableton Sampler

 

Yikes. I decided to spend a month manipulating samples. The ground rules: only samples, and only samples I cut from my own library, would count.

 

Well, now, that was a bad idea. I ain't no deft manipulator; ain't no Automator. Basically, my music this month was a bunch of crap. But, hey, I tried?

 

Week #31: Music for coke fiends! [Apologies to Demon Fuzz - Afreaka]

 

Week #32: Music for pixelated guitarists! [Apologies to Ralph Towner - Solo Concert]

 

Week #33: Music for second-rate ambient snobs! [Apologies to John Adams - Harmonium (ECM)]

 

Week #34: Music for people who like bad music! [Apologies to Kenny Wheeler - Angel Song]

 

Week #35: DANGER DAVE HAS HEARD SOME SMOKY LOUNGE MUSIC IN HIS TIME, YES HE HAS. [I stopped tilting at my samples-only windmill for this one.]

 

Plan for September: discotechque.
