Composed from a folder of communications samples produced by the BBC sound archive. This was for a uni module in composition techniques. The vocals were taken from an old BT training video available on youtube. 
Thanks

Nvp Test Set

the worst one of the 5 tracks.  Turns out doing live raggatek is quite hard you need to program up loads of stuff, you can't just jam it apparently.... not giving up, just requires more thought

##############.   test.        Day1 5:5 All Night Raggatek

started late and wasn't in the mood.
***NOT A TRADITIONAL SONG***
This was written to practice scratching over.. 
Beats of sp1200 sample pack on the mpc into ableton. bass for first section off mog the Moog, second section sample.  then all the parts were jamed live over 32 bar sections
The recording was first take and first time id tried to scratch to it (or recorded myself scratching)  Quite pleased with it doesn't sound too awful. Could of varied my scratches more, but was 'cold' and didn't get my scratchy eye in first

MFP DAY 4 Scratch

took an old zip drive full of sounds I recorded around the garage and a friends workshop and used only sounds I found on the zip

MFP DAY 5 Bangs And Dogs

Started off with my WINDOWS 98 machine running "SEQ 303" an acid sequencer runing the moog. Then had pc crash and lost patterns so had to improvise from halfway through :-) 
Was a bit of pain to get started, then was going ok till win98 pc crashed...

MFP DAY 6 acid seq

relaxed sunshine vibes. Had a couple of days decent sleep, which seems to help.
Straight up logic. 
 Just switched back to an older version so have lost loads of instruments and sounds but hopefully it will be more stable....
Therefore most of the sounds are apple loops that have been cut into individual hits then added to an ESX24 sampler and played in.

DAY7  Funk Jazz

Had to make after a day in school. Spent a couple of hours making really long loops in college using kontact, battery and reaktor. Took these home and cut them up into small hits, loaded them into ableton and set off on my wonky way.......

DAY8  Ba Da Da Ping

Wooah new problems... started early and got nowhere, so scrapped it and started again. 
Was going ok till I stoped to have some food, came back to it half hour later and hated it and really struggled to get going again.  With a half finished track that just started to piss me off.....I had to work through it. 
I've turned my sub up a bit hoping that my mixes will translate a bit better.Yes I have measured the freq response of my room and looks fine, but thats not helping.  Usually I would have a chance to listen on at least a couple of different speakers before I decide on levels, but this doesn't give me the time.... Make it, suck it up,  sounds a bit shit, post it... Easy :-)

DAY9 Spaced up

Yeah id like to be alternative rock..
This was the hardest thing i've done. Decided to try 5/4 time and I found it real hard to find phrasing. I kept thinking in 4/4 and could find a 5/4 groove. On top of that I lost all the stock apple sounds half way through.  I rely on these for all the non dance stuff as I don't have any traditional instrument packs or sounds.. I kind of backed myself into a corner as I managed to write a bass part, then the first flute part so had the initial idea going at which point I absolutly failed to come up with a second part. I tried to add different bass... no. I tried to write another flute part... no.  So i ended up repating the same lines but bouncing them around in the instrumentation to create variations on a theme :-)    Thank god thats over... 5/4 no thanks

Day 11 5:4

decided to celebrate brexit....  
ableton and a couple of guitar samples.... tried to do shouty voals but it didn't work... anyway  enjoy the impending doom.

Day 12 Brexit Burndown

really hard on Thursdays with time. This was bashed up a bit quick. happy with how the vocals came out, bassline sucks. \ableton/\Mog/\system 1/ 
first time i've used an accapella all the way through that wasn't some shouty grime mc.. bit different.
sample is al green dont know the song or where it was taken from.

Day 18 Good Ole AL

cuase I searched on google for booty vocals this picture happily poped up on my facebook market place feed..... for sale second hand underware???

my bash at speedcomp 42: the waltz edition done in 30mins using 10 samples provided by melt unit

Speedcomp42 Get Your Waltz On

how many times is it possible to be subjected to his shit? 
Uni have forced me to listen to it as an example for everything.. 
learn how to mix? listen to burial
Learn to program beats? Listen to burial
Insterested in masturbation? listen to burial. 
I belive I have crafted an eloquent response to the subtlies of his original compositions, while allowing the listener to enjoy mary ann hobbs' finest moment

I'd Rather Insert A Sharp Object In My Eye Than Listen To Burial Again

Faced with continued employment by the oppressive, institutionally run telecoms companies our intrepid artist seeks to further confuse. By embarking on a prolonged spell of musical re-education he hopes to mop up spare student loans that would otherwise be wasted on yoof's.
