"Two Inch Nails" [mp3 removed]. Continuing what seems to be a micro-industrial theme. I had written a controller curve that made the mid-range percussion build and lapse in complexity a couple of times, but the MIDI learn went haywire and those "wah wah" sweeps with the cutoff filter in this version were completely accidental. I didn't notice the difference till after I posted it; I went back to the master file and fiddled with some settings to "fix" it, and now I can't duplicate the wah wah exactly. So this file is unique. Who said machines were about precision?
Very sparse and ominous in feel -- I dig it! I wouldn't call it industrial, though. And you didn't even need to use any samples :-)
Thanks. To me anything with a long loud white noisy whoosh that ends with a metallic clang, especially repeatedly, is industrial. I just picked up Nitzer Ebb's "That Total Age" on CD after having lost the cassette years ago. I really like them--the guy can yell with the best of them, and so minimal. In the same shipment from Amazon was Paul McCartney's "Ram." I'm bullish on Sir Paul's 4-track home recording. Certain songs on that CD--Ram On, Dear Boy--sound like he swallowed Brian Wilson whole. My favorite, much-maligned, unfairly-maligned Beatle.
