Sample art with beats interspersed. Fans of People Like Us, Wobbly, Evolution Control Committee take note. Television, movie samples along with rudimentary synths and drum machines. Well recorded, mixed, assembled, by some 17 year old kid on the rural coast of Oregon. Indeed, cultural boundaries that used to exist at the borders of urban centers have fallen and technology and information transfer has made possible creativity from all corners of the country/world. And the gods looked down and it was good. 1) brief “hello” 2) very chill, soundtracky female vocals with swirling sines, synths 3) creepy sample art’ish with backwards words, layered treated vocals 4) completely mangled version of that terrible Yes song from the 80’s “owner of a lonely heart”, melded with Der Kommisar samples, an 80’s trash bash! 5) brief ambience 6) very brief sample 7) George W. samples, “The evil ones… watching too much daytime TV”, good stuff over an industrial toned intense house beat that spins out of control, then takes a complete turn around midway to cheesy “love” jazz samples, twisted 8) brief, chill, is this Battlestar Galactica soundtrack sampling? 9) creepy samples, slow and evil 10) middle eastern samples with bookish samples involving food (from track 3) 11) more creepiness with female voices sampled 12) very brief 13) speeded up, like 250bpm, basically like a pop song at 45/78 rpm, but it works great 14) very brief sample 15) ambient 16) techno house “D/rpm” for sure with treated vocs, cool, with an over/under beat shift about 2 minutes in 17) brief and chill 18) creepy treated voice samples 19) very evil, brief sample 20) cool downtempo, eastern flare, sloooowed voice sample 21) religious samples, all mixed up 22) sounds like TV/movie sample, mildly treated 23) another mangling of an 80’s hit: “Every Breath You Take” (Police/Sting) 24) heavily looped samples with bursts 25) chill ambient trippiness, downtempo, nice 26) samples over Julee Cruise (David Lynch/Twin Peaks/Blue Velvet music sound bed) 27) unnerving heartbeat and sparse sounds, samples 28) another complete mangling of some pop song that I’m not familiar with (must be past my time) | ||
