V - Alone In A Cave

From the album New Active Object.

New Active Object is a jazz-infused concept album crafted using unwieldy, low fidelity, often silly samples from the sound effect libraries of 1990s game-making software Klik & Play and The Games Factory. BOUNCE01.WAV, POP.WAV, CRASH1.WAV, THUNDER2.WAV, AIRBUGGY.WAV and ANAPHASE.WAV to name a handful.

Particularly charming sounds were used sans-manipulation (some posh guy sarcastically quipping "oh excellent"), while most others were prodded and cut-up and messed-with until they became something compositionally useful. Sometimes even pleasant. Nearly every sound contributes its own low bitrate hiss, lining New Active Object's music bed with an airy effervescence.

Alterable Value, Parts A-E

It's proggy. It's jazzy. It's made up of 90% sounds ripped from CD-ROM programs for children. From the album New Active Object.
