verba volant

Umm… this is supposed to be somewhat of a trip-hop piece - mostly recycled from Lamb, Massive Attack, Coldplay and random heartbeat samples off the internet.

For my final project, I’d like to try out something along the lines of Spiritual House, with sounds close to the ones used by Enigma, with elements of Acid House, Tribal House, or Techno (there are certain remixes of Enigma that sound similar to what I’d like to acheive). The main problem I can foresee right now is acquiring the main vocals (including the base for a Chorus effect for the Gregorian-like portion). The final effect should be a combination between an ordered and rigid Christian religious experience and a deeper, more primal African tribal sound, to add chaos and sensation to the track (maybe also helped by the main voice, which is also a source of carnal sensation in Enigma’s works). We’ll see what I end up with…

Okay - It’s 5:29am and I just finished my 2nd assignment for Intro to Electronic Music… It doesn’t sound too bad, but then again, it’s not too good, either. Oh, well… Here, listen for yourself:

DISCLAIMER: No cows were hurt during the making of this assignment.

It’s that time of the week: the assignments are due and I’m done with my composition. This week’s feature: cow sounds! :D. To those back home, you all know why they’re featured. To those who don’t, expect a follow-up “Life” blog.
