A Meal For a Whale - sorta melodic IDM stuff

sgx · Post by **sgx** » Wed Dec 20, 2006 10:52 pm

I decided to challenge myself to make a song with only two primary sound sources: A piano patch and Electroplankton for Nintendo DS.

So every sound in here is either directly from or some sort of effected derivative of the piano or recordings of me making sounds in Electroplankton, including the drum samples which were sampled from the patterns in the game then totally rearranged. Some of the sounds I played a loop of the song into the DS mic and had EP fuck with it and send it back to Live for manipulation.

Here's my song: http://www.sgxmusic.com/music/SGX%20-%2 ... 0Whale.mp3

This is very nice - retains the underwater feel, but interesting and tuneful. Piano patch was on Live side not on DS side, I assume? Anyway, nice work.

Very nice work. I love to see some more experimental type stuff on here.
Finding ways to challenge yourself can be very inspiring. Thanks.

Right. The patch was from EWQLSO Silver.
