Get that fresh clean feeling!

So, I’m hanging around the internet one evening minding my own goddamn business when Epilonious wanders by and says “I feel like a sassy black lady tonight*. Here! Watch this!”

Angie Jordan saying “ham” on “30 Rock” for 15 minutes

If you’re not into experimenting with media to alter your consciousness, you don’t need to watch this video. Let me sum it up: Angie Jordan saying “ham” on “30 Rock” for 15 minutes, and she pronounces “ham” with two syllables. Apparently, it’s become a thing for people to obsess over. Whatever. It’s a neat video if you’re into that sort of thing.

Anyway, Epilonious and I are geeking out over this and he says, and I quote:

“I think… I think there needs to be a funky base beat hayumm song. I WANT A REEEEMIIIIIIX.”

I immediately cursed his name fury and rage. And then I got to work, because, clearly, he was correct. I hate his ass, but that remix did need to happen. I also happened to know that to make him happy, it didn’t need to be good, it just had to be there, yanno?

45 minutes and one stolen sample from youtube later, this is what happened. I threw it up on soundcloud, tweeted about it, and yelled at Epilonious until he finally listened. He loved it immediately and scampered all over the internet to share the joy –no, wait, not all over the internet, just all over Wanda Wisdom’s Facebook (and website). Because it was all her fucking idea in the first place!

Curse you Wanda Wisdom!

Anyway, this classic bad house tune is about as close to live as you’ll ever see me do. All the loops were live-triggered! That’s why there’s mistakes! But for less than an hour, of work? It’s not bad. It’s crap, but it’s fun crap, and that is what’s important.

* This may not be a completely accurate quote, but a) he did express that sentiment that evening and b) he has said that exact thing repeatedly in the past.

Lets wrap this puppy up. If you don’t happen to follow me on twitter (and the odds are pretty low), you probably wouldn’t have known that I’ve released a new music video. Unlike any other video I’ve done, and yes I’ve done a couple I haven’t released, Consider and it’s accompanying video happened almost simultaneously. Anyway, the video hit youtube in March, and it’s hitting the podcast now. Because damn it to hell, you people like videos.

The long shot of the grass is used with lots of thanks to VertigoElectric, who for some reason thought this video of grass growing was a pretty good idea all on its own.

Assay. Droney, ambient, deep, lots of texture, a little rhythm, a little tune, nice right?

Nicer yet: this is what yesterday’s post Consider is built from. More or less, anyway — Consider is built on a previous version of Assay.

Unfortunately, this led to a problem: I had two very different tracks called Consider on my hands. As I think you can see, the stronger track won that battle, so I hit the thesaurus, and Assay it is.

Tomorrow is a special treat. Stay tuned.

Consider. Consider what? How about considering the lovely droney ambient music that’s been invaded by very friendly electronic ducks?

This is easily one of my recent favorites. If you like this, come back tomorrow and the day after — we’re not done considering Consider just yet.

Wow. This track is a last for a lot of things. It’s the last Ambient Chaser. It’s the last of the Vistas tracks that I can find. It’s also the last of the daily posts for a little while.

Time is odd in a way. These tracks you’ve been listening to for the last 20 days were made over the course of the last two and a half years. On March 24th, I took the day off and spent it getting all these tracks ready and uploaded and posted. You are going to hear this work in the future. The internet does that.

Anyway, I’m rather fond of this simple little track. I like how the reflecting delays come back, and the tune is nice.

Braindouche! out. Catch you in May, probably.

I have no idea why I decided this was Goa, it just sounded like fun at the time. Once again I have sat on a track for more than two years for no earthly reason.

Yargh last bad electronic track for now yay!

Oh look, more unremarkable one-instrument ambient. I’m so glad I stopped doing this. Not gunna stop be from publishing, though.

It’s overlong, it’s repetitive, it’s loud, it’s bad trance! In the spirit of full disclosure, though, I’m really quite pleased with how the drums came out on this track.

Yes, it’s more ambient from the Vistas project that never went anywhere. Yesterday was annoying electronica, today is your ambient chaser. Two more annoying electronicas remain, two more ambient chasers, and then no more daily podcasts for a while, ya dig?

This is what every jumpstyle song ever sounds like to me: a beat, a snitched irish tune, and some annoying shit on top.
