Name: Rainbows in Space-Time by Aaron Hackett 5
Duration: 8 min 38 s
Description: The idea was simple: To fully exploit the resources of a single sound. The inner mechanics are irrelevant to the finished work.

Everything in this song was made from Childish Gambino saying "Eh". Yes, even the bass drum and other percussion.

This mashup has taken the longest of all of my projects, totalling as nine hours work over five days. Most of that time was spent figuring out the melody, bass line and backing chords all by ear.

From experience, I can say that it helps to slow down the original song so you can pick up notes or a rhythm you miss at normal playback speed.

Remixed my song, waves to make the bell sound not as jarring as it was before.

So I woke up and had the urge to do this today. It worked out, I'd say. One take each, with the final note on one of the tracks re-recorded and that's it. This was one of those "do it once and do it right" type of things.

Happy holidays and happy new year as well, to everyone!

John Cena Squarepants

Total Serialism Example

Smooth but transposed to the whole tone scale as favored by schoenberg

This is is a short improvization of a sequence of chords written down in tab form that seemed to sound fitting.
The phase of the moon is on the same day time of the year every 19 years as used in some Calendars around the world. I thought the instrument felt oriental while playing it too , hence the title of the piece.
