Here is my submission for the Cats on Synthesizers in Space Producer Competition. I started this from scratch on 8/2/2019. I was noodling around pointlessly in my lil studio, wondering what to do next, when inspiration fell from the sky in the form of a facebook post from COSIS announcing this contest. I, not being much of a contest type of dude, downloaded the samples to just have some fun and play with cat sounds for an afternoon, for lack of better ideas. But somehow, despite me constantly laughing my ass off, something pretty cool started to come together. Then During a break I wondered if I could find some good vocal samples, and stumbled first click onto this adorable short cartoon called Millions of Cats. My jaw dropped, to me this was a friggin gold mine of purrrfect samples! So many things just kept falling into place. After that I knew it was my destiny. I did not choose to make this song, it chose me to make it. And when I was done, with a resounding meow, it said share me with the world! So... Here it is - Bad Machine "Millions of Cats" 

The entire song is all Cat samples from the pack provided, with the exception of the main bass line in the chorus, and one bell-type arpeggiated synth that pops in and out a couple times. The drums I started to do with all cat sounds, but the feel just wasn't right, so I replaced them with regular drums, but kept the lil kitten sneeze HighHats as the main HH line throughout the song. The rest of it is all Cats, cut up, manipulated and drenched in effects... In a nice way though :)

BAD MACH|NE - Industrial, Soundscape, Experimental, Electronic IDM, Digital Hardcore, Pit-farts on a snare drum... Whatever you wanna call it, Bad Machine is a story of audio terrorism expressed through sound. The songs are meant to be interpreted and internalized through the listener, rather than being strictly defined by the artist. In other words, there are very few words... 

There are also no expensive leather fashion statements, no boring four on the floor hook-beats, no public relations strategies, and no fucking neon dreadlocks! This is an experiment in storytelling through sound and sample. An act of colorful self defense against a grey and indifferent universe.

Fuck You, Eat Noise!
