Wok Snare & Spring Bass Drum Rolls with X-tra Duck Sauce... mmmmmmmmm.

TAKE OUT... please. WAY OUT. All nite tweaking in Headroom again. Overdubbed SPRING BASS DRUM-ish simple beat (see spring stretched accross the RACQUET TOMS) keying in on the existing bent riffage. Then added some metal WOK-ish snare (see square with holes and drum sticks) locking in with the toy bent guitar 'lectro snare. Now i am so thirsty. Gonna toast with my favorite drink, POLAND SPRINGS WATER (from Maine you know.) Right after this post gotta get back to editing a bit. On this track going for a improv remix automation mute and volume blast via motormix on pro tools as i go along. This is actually a pretty normal hit groove song for me.... gotta take it OUT a bit further. No NAME for the SONG yet, but if all fails i can just pull some words out of column A and column B and voila.

Already have a solid foundation of fried rice and noodles in the mix, so i am pretty stuffed and almost done.

My fortune cookie sez... "Your self-confidence shines and makes a great impression on others. Lucky numbers 4, 7, 16, 34,36,44." That reminds me i need to get a lottery ticket for tuesday's mega millions.

Tippi Cat came up in the mix zone for a little bit to help co-produce. Sorry no pix of her from tonight, but here's one from an Orgy Of Noise session a few years ago.

Almost fired up the BTM TV WEBCAM again, but
keep on nailing the trax without too much distraction.

UPDATE: (still going all night - 9:50 AM MONDAY now) - tweaked the mix quite a bit and added more more more junk percussion and some good old-fashioned tape delay freak out bits of noise via sound on sound function on my REVOX A-77 tape recorder, that i have had since 1975.

...AND then closed the OON session files up and switched gears and poked back into the REMIX i am doing for a DOTC song that is on ROCK BAND 3 game. Their orig trax sound so good.

Still gotta charge of camera batteries and format the chips and etc for the Heathen Shame & Chris Cooper show on MONDAY at CHARLIE's Harvard Square. More on that wing ding later.

sleeping all day, so i can rock all night.

Back on track with ORGY OF NOISE sessions..

OK... got distracted and went to saturday nite gig (see previous post) and sorted photos and videos into the wee hours, but NOW (as soon as i finish this post) i am back on track, tweaking and pro tools editing the latest overdub on the Orgy Of Noise song i am recording. Added some STYLOPHONE mutated through a Mini-Kaoss Pad coming out like some sorta Booty Collins - Bernie Worrell wah wah mutron electro funk noise as it gurgles into the circuit bent toys and racquet percussion i layed down. The Stylophone/Kaoss combo is a bit FUNKY, but the rest of the track is still more industrial noise electro -ish. FUN FUN FUN. Maybe i should WEBCAST the sessions on BTM TELEVISION... but it tends to be a distraction... just like THIS BLOG is a distraction.

I keep thinking why am i creating MORE MUSIC when most of you have barely made it through the mountains of my existing albums, videos, photos etc.

Cutting an Orgy Of Noise Song @ Headroom for Connexion Bizarre Compilation on 9.19.08

Overdubbing Spring-O-Caster Racquet Percussion.

Close-up of LES PONG, DELUXE... my ping pong spring racquet.

So far the track includes a circuit bent toy guitar (guttar) spewing out a nasty tweaked beat and live pad pounding from one of my bent drum machines (albino beatbox) and some percussion from the spring tennis and ping pong racquets. plus, plan to add stylophone bass synthy bits to the mix as well. fun fun fun.

More info later on this "YOU ARE HERE" compilation featuring New England area electronic musicians that is being curated by DEFTLY-D for a net label/magazine from Portugal.
