I took the theme song from Facebook's "Look Back" movie and reversed the entire thing. Then cut up sections of it and sequenced it out of order, with parts rising to a crescendo about halfway through and then quieting down again until the very end.

Dead Inside - Quiet Falsetto Acoustic To Shut Sean's Neighbour Up

Finally unearthed and unveiled for the first time VERY publicly...
Sean Moncrieff and I had a punk band for a minute, before a dog dislocated his shoulder. 
We were called Class Massacre. 
We had fun and we had some good riffs and some good song ideas. THIS WAS NOT ONE OF THEM. 
Even though Sean's acoustic sounds good on this phone-recorded track, this is not a good song. ENTIRELY MY FAULT. I thought it would be a good idea to parallel a mental breakdown with a crashing computer and write a song about it. It did not work. 
Full disclosure: I can't sing, especially when I try to sound like P.I.L.-era John Lydon. It is PAINFUL to listen to this. Heckle away, My Loves. I deserve it.

Dead Inside - Off The Floor Quiet Falsetto Acoustic To Shut Sean's Neighbour Up

Class War
by Class Massacre.
Featuring Sean Moncrieff on electric guitar and me trying to sound like some of my punk heroes and FAILING.
This one is NOT AS BAD as Dead Inside. 
But first-draft newb lyrics like "Nothing that's Eco-Friendly..." and "1! 2! 3! 4! First Nations' Rights on the floor!" - which ends up sounding like "1,2,3,4! Crustaceans rights on the floor!" - do nothing to lend any cred :( 
I AM SO, SO SORRY!
To be fair, those two lines would never have made it into the final cut of the song... but still... I CRINGE everytime I hear them...

Class War - Before The Neighbour Complains Electric Off The Floor Take 2

Sampled drums from classic 80s electronic artists' B-Side, chopped and looped, upped the tempo, eq'd to boost hi-mids and cut mud out of lows and mids, compressed  with fast attack and release and 4:1 ratio. Using Audacity.
Now it sounds sort of Jungle.

Well, besides the fact that I can't keep time for shit, this l'il d'n'b number was a lot of fun to sketch up within 30 minutes (AND it's free... nyuck, nyuck, nyuck!)

Equipment: Electro-Harmonix Looper, Roland SPD-SX, Shitty Human Drummer, Audacity.

D'n'B Fun

Loaded samples of classic sounds into my SPD-SX that were not from Roland or Atari units but had that 808 or ST feel. Was about to record them straight into my EH Looper when I found I wasn't getting enough gain. So I pass the drumpad into my mixer, threw on the mixer's built-in plate reverb FX and OVERLOADED the whole damn thing to get the ridiculous 'built-in-speakers-in-the-back-of-a-94-honda-civic' feel.
It was fun.

In the interest of Keeping It Simple Stupid!
A little fun with the Casio keyboard I got from Allison Gauthier a while back.

I looped  WhirlyTube toy sounds at different speeds on my Electro-Harmonix 2880 so as to create the sound of what the gadget in the image associated with this file would sound like. It was a for a challenge issued by my friend Chris, an animator who wanted to make a short with some imaginary machine parts. 

SoundForChrisGadget

NEW ADDITION: Did everything below but then played it against a lower pitch version of the same sounds to get more of a chorus of WhirlyTubes, as the image has lots of them!!!
