Cabbages and Kings posted:that is a cool cover and also a good idea, I just emailed them. Yeah, I found a transcript of it, but no audio of the whole thing. Suspecting somebody did a Barbarella here. But I did find a good few clips of him in his smart boy glasses.

I've been pretty tore up about how to do this here musically. I've been listening to Reagan and from the perspective of somebody who's been in the Trump thread forever, the man is an eloquent, elegant saint compared to Trump and anybody who supports trump. I'm having a really hard even being critical of him when images of Trumo are dancing through my head. So I decided to make this the theme of my entry, I think. The rules never said I can't put God Emperor Trumo in the recording, and I'm going to have to do some kind of a thing with sort of a beat or whatever that compares or juxtaposes Reagan and Trump speaking on marginally related topics(?). So I think though I'm probably going to be making mine more about Trumo than about Reagan, in a sense. It's not really the spirit of the contest, but show me in the rules where it says a dog on diet pills can't wipe his rear end on the US Constitution and then get elected president. Oh, and I don't know why I thought Reagan was in Pigskin Parade, I must have been confusing it with Knute Rockne, American Hero. @Trig, did you do your presentation yet? ED: and I keep thinking about the use of samples in music and I really want to talk with somebody about it, was thinking maybe there should be a thread, or is there one already?

Reagan really was a great speech deliverer, the problems with him came from the difference in how he sold his policies and how they were implemented. He did damage to this country that we're still dealing with. Which to me is what makes sampling him fun.. taking his flowery, upbeat language and gluing words together in new ways that reveal what a jerk he was.

I haven’t done anything for this yet.  Haven’t heard any other submissions either. I have some ideas about what I want to make, but I don’t have the education or experience to pull it off well so it’s gonna be godawful. If it’s alright, I wanna post my current thoughts. Under spoilers so no one is unduly influenced by what I want to make. I find it interesting that we’re getting a prompt about Reagan and spooky-scary-season alongside synthesizers and samples (including sampled speech). From everything I know about electronic history at the time, all of these elements veered close to each other but never quite converged on a single point, so welding them all together is gonna take some synthesis (  ) of contemporary genres and sounds.This is also going to be tonally interesting, complex, and honestly difficult. Reagan and the poo poo he kicked off conjures up an angry, explosive, and spiteful mood in me. Halloween, on the other hand, is a cold, quickly-darkening season full of dread, horror, and anxiety - so I associate it with a heavier, darker, more lethargic mindset (plus more than a little anxiety). These are somewhat opposing energies. I have no idea how to communicate both resentful rage and plodding despair at the same time, and I’ve never really seen it happen in electronic genres either. Darkwave is the closest thing I can think of, but it’s too high energy and doesn’t really make use of sampled speech. I hate to say this, but the best example I can immediately draw from is early Nine Inch Nails  In the meantime, I’m gonna try exploring these genres and pull from them: - Industrial - Breakbeat - Darkwave - Gothic rock - Dark electro And I’d love band suggestions!

It's probably no coincidence that Trent Reznor's formative years were during the Reagan presidency. Only puffy paint and the NES got us out of that without becoming that angry.

For something more recent, Randolph and Mortimer are amazing and build a lot of their tracks around speech samples. https://randolphandmortimer.bandcamp.com/album/manifesto-for-a-modern-world They are definitely angry and despairing. Edit: for an OG industrial band - check out the track GBH84 by Test Dept here, using the speech samples to make a clear statement of what the track is about. https://testdept.bandcamp.com/track/gbh84 Danger - Octopus! fucked around with this message at 20:26 on Oct 10, 2022 |

Alright, well, holy poo poo I’ve got a lot to listen to. Sunachai and VNV Nation in particular caught my ear, Empress of the Starved Lung is intimidating (in a good way). Listening to cool music and making cool music are completely separate things so don’t expect my entry to be on the level of these motherfuckers but hey, I’ll try.

i started messing with a chippy pattern to try to learn about pattern chaining and scenes in the BSP and also more about the arpitecht ended up just putting on Reagan reading Freedom's Finest Hour over slightly aggro drummy noises and listened to the whole god drat thing (well, it's still streaming actually, twitch.tv/suboptimalsynthesis) just an amazingly brokebrained take on the revolutionary war, based on what D&D and CSPAM taught me about American history i have a couple vocal riffs in mind and i am going to try to just record them this weekend and then go from there  I'm not going to win and I'm having fun.

Okay I am done (well alright, I could have spent longer but the next couple of weeks will be crazy busy) so here is my finished submission and it is very much in the Identifiable Reagan category. https://soundcloud.com/trellickindustrial/if-necessary-by-force/s-WLHwRqeLALe?si=747599eeb5c043e7b99e2e35ff68f40c For the curious, the synths used are a Moog Werkstatt & DFAM as well as Phosycon 2 VST and one of Ableton's stock instruments. Edit: I just lifted a bunch of samples from speeches here, because the transcripts on a lot of them made it easy to find phrases I liked. So there's samples from a bunch of those (definitely his address to the british parliament in 1982 and some others) as well as the 'evil empire' speech and a couple of movie samples from The Voice of Labor's set.

listening to "Freedom's Finest Hour", a friend who was watching the stream ID'd a point where, out of context, Reagan reads something like "he was so good, even my wife would come for him" and god drat it now I have to go back through the tape to find that snippet, and I don't have a transcript.Danger - Octopus! posted:Okay I am done (well alright, I could have spent longer but the next couple of weeks will be crazy busy) so here is my finished submission and it is very much in the Identifiable Reagan category.  , followed on soundcloudAround 10/25 I am going to post a spreadsheet here with everyone who toxx'd and submissions to date. I am not counting any of my random videos as submissions, I will submit something at some point, and it may not be much better than my random videos!!

file under recognizable reagan 666-40-1488 https://soundcloud.com/rid_labs/666...=social_sharing it could've used some polish but I've put as much time into it as I really wanted to. using "Al-Farabi's Greek genus forte disjunctum primum" as a tuning because it was the first thing that had a 6 in the file name. I used battery for the samples, chipsynth md, whispair for some of the bass, it's p' good for free and surge for a lot of the leads and noise. surge is absolutely fantastic and free The Voice of Labor fucked around with this message at 06:29 on Oct 24, 2022 |
