"Protest Song (Human Crab Louse)" [mp3 removed]. Work in process? Probably more like a prototype. The "found sequence"-- an Electribe rhythm pattern slowed down by about 16 bpm and reinterpreted by the computer as a melody kind of trails off into inconsequentiality every few bars, and that could be made more catchy and bouncy. The melody, such as it is now, sounds good in other Sid patches, to my ears at least, and those could be incorporated into the song with MIDI program change messages. One thing I learned is I don't have my volume problem with the analog drum machine if it's only playing a few hits (e.g. one kick, snare, clap, and one hi hat). It was only when I tried to use the full range of the machine that I had to turn the gain down--this tune is punchier and I didn't have to drop the volume.
really like this one. the erratic rhythm makes it. maybe a good candidate for a micromusic.net submission.
Thanks. It may be erratic 'cause I didn't slave the Sidstation to external clock, so it's just going its merry way in some parts with some kind of preprogrammed wavetable sequence. It didn't sound as good when I tried switching it to external.
