There is no rewind. Every second counts.
You'll find this melody in the space between pride and regret.
Did I make the right decision?

I got chu

She left you. Because you were wrong. You messed up.
She decided she need need you anymore.
She will forever be the one that got away.
That's all in the past.
You open the door one morning and there she is, tears streaming down her face.
In a sweet embrace you realized she never really left.
And because real life is never as poetic as movies
All you can stammer is
"I got chu"


So....I did my best to only take an hour...so many places I want to go with this.

Determination

The helplessness begins to grip you. It begins to seize your sanity. But then a glimpse of who you are strikes you. You may have never been this person but you are gripped by a fearful and driving purpose. You haven't been shown the people you never known. You've been shown the people you're destined to meet. With unfaltering determination you look upon the picture again. You will find these people. You are going home.

Oh also this song is about looking for a new place to chill or something

I don't know if you guys know this, but the 200th OHC is coming up soon! HOLY CRAP!
In honor of this, I'm going to do nothing but remixes until then. Remixes of what? Out of the entries from 100 compos ago (so like 196-100 = compo 96), I'm going to remix whichever song's title fits the theme best (in otherwords, I don't know what I'm remixing until I know the theme, keeps it interesting). Besides, everyone's been doing remixes lately, and I just want to fit in!

I SEETHE when I'm plauged by distractions!

...also being late, but that's no surprise.

(I had a hard time figuring out how I wanted to remix this, so I'm sorry if it sucks...if you're out there, please forgive me Bert....I mean monobrow)

ALSO! Trancient wanted me to let you guys know that the two of us have joined together to start a dubstep/electro funk band called Stone Pirate. We're releasing an album this October and our first single should be available this month. I've uploaded it to soundcloud for your listening pleasure, so, if want, after the listening party, go here:

http://soundcloud.com/stonepirate/bye-bill

and listen to our first single.

It figures DDRKirby's title would fit the theme. I had fun with this. (yes, I threw in a little chicken popsicle, in case you're wondering)

Good times were had. An industrial nation triumphantly celebrated. But those times are over. In a bleak future there is no music. There is no celebration. There is no man. Only the lost and confused machines. Hopeless, leaderless, clueless. And yet it seems to becoming together. Could it be? Will life still find a way?

(yes, the beginning section was Coda's entry from a LONG time ago [OHC 106 for those who want to know]. Of course I remastered it, added a part...and then cropped it short cuz it made the song too long. Oh well.)

*DO NOT VOTE FOR THIS ONE!*

This song was my OHC practice. Late night meeting at work means I didn't get to participate. Uploading to get ya'lls opinion. This is the description on soundcloud.com

"As some of you may know, I participate weekly in an online contest called the OHC. Also, as some of you know, I'm not that good at writing melody lines. So, last night I decided that I was going to practice writing a song in an hour and practice writing melody lines. 2 hours and 30 minutes later, this is what I came up with. Ironically, I feel like this is good training room music. So, while training I made a song that's good for training. AWESOME!"

Oh my god

That was pretty mean for self talk

Get your head in the game

keep your heart in the fight
keep it up all night
ensure your strength doesn't flutter
you know your feet are the rutter
Get your head in the game
if you lose you're to blame

no janx to speak of and I still make this look good
I'm dressed for the suburbs or a pimp walk in your hood
you spendin spendin spendin and you don't have a clue
that I'm scientifically designed to look better than you
take a look around the mall
with out the glitz it's just a hall
do want this hat or do you want that shawl
when your here you can have a ball
ladies ladies do you hear me call
don't make me beg don't make me crawl
hey get behind the yellow rope
you dope
and don't poke
cuz if you do then I might fall

buy me buy me buy me I say without words
you know that
ooohh you love me
I'm surrounded by herds
brain washed by
the mass media invention baby
still my swagger it gets you crazy

I'm

So it took me a long time to imagine this song any other way. I guess I'm rusty. But I feel this was a good piece for getting back in the swing of things. Anyway, the song ended up with kind of a pop-rock-dance feel, but I think it works and I hope you do to!
And the ending is blah cuz I ran out of time to do what I wanted (which has become a norm when I submit a PRC entry).

This was a 24 hr cram jam! I just wanted to make something that you'd enjoy waking up in the morning. So grab a Mai Tai and some sunglasses and try your favorite lounge chair. And this all makes sense to me because I'm tired because I've been up for 30 some odd hours and my brain is fired. I hope that the song isn't fried because it's supposed be grilled....or something like that...

I stuck close to the source on this one. Basically, I just made it more dramatic...like a boss battle or something. As far as the end is concerned, I was kinda' thinking it was like sex. The song builds and builds to the climax and then it ends. Ok...so maybe I ran out of time and couldn't think of a good way to end it.

la Casa de la Magia

posted in PRC120 on May 15, 2008
play_arrow
My thoughts behind this piece:

The source material seems like a lone melody with very little harmonic elements, so I elongated and syncopated the rhythm and then spent the rest of my time fleshing out a complimenting latin groove to back the melody. In the end, one of the melodic segments I chose to keep it close to it's original format to make it more recognizable. The entire melodic line is a transposed, elongated, syncopated magic house.

Overall, I was trying to go for an 80's latin jazz sound with the spanish words looping in the background and the deep reverb toms. Something like David Bleimier meets Carlos Santana. I used a flanger on both the voice samples and tweaked the fine a little to give them a more 80's quality (not being exactly on pitch at exactly the right time) and yes all voices in this piece is me.

PS: the underlying chorus is saying "venido a la casa de la magia" which is spanish for "come to the magic house."

After listening to the source, I got this image of a large field with trees here and there. It was early morning before the sun rose and the mist hung low to the ground. Of course this is primetime for adventures to head out on a whirlwind journey into the unknown! As they march across the field the sun crests over the horizon and the mist breaks away.
