non elitist experimental

fixing the anthropogenic bug in marx

a skipping record player, a squeaky old fan and shortwave generated radio frequency sweeps.

squeaky old fan

All sounds from a Casio SK-1. Vocals were sampled and played back through the SK-1 as well.

Minimal additional effects were used.
A bit of reverb on almost everything. Delay on the whispered vocals. Chorus on the "brass ensemble."

To free myself from the limitations of the stock rhythms, I sampled and resequenced all of the rhythm sounds (i.e. "kick," "snare," etc.).

The goal was to only use the SK-1, and to refrain from modifying the original character of the keyboard with excessive effects.

Sound Matters enough to steal.
