On the other hand, I wouldn't object if he were to participate in this competition, either. I used to know this DJ kinda buddy in DC that used to refer to good weed as "Hinckley" because he said he had to have been on some amazing poo poo to have done what he did.

I really like it, it has aftertouch and a lot of sensitivity. And gave Surge VST a proper spin. It is extraordinary, just from trying the presets. There were more presets than I could try. Some of which responded to the aftertouch on this new keyboard. This is one of the best free VSTs I've ever tried. This has been lots of fun but it's now 3 am. Cheers

I just got unbanned and I don't have platinum now so I'm gonna win this puppy. And when you see these plugs you will want these cables. And I'll use it as an excuse to get my soldering station reassembled. quote:
Oh was it, well that explains it, most good free stuff still has a lot more that's kinda ad hoc about it, and that manual is pretty exceptional. It so loving rocks. I found a really nice split keyboard that had percussion on one hand and it had some rather ambient rhythmic poo poo going on and I really felt like this is like loving fingerpainting, I was ecstatic. I think any idiot could enjoy the hell out of this thing and really feel like they're making music. So I'm in the right place. If I get caught using one of these presets to make my entry, I'll just declare bankruptcy and resurface in Brazil as a retired financier/DJ and live my best life in Rio. petit choux fucked around with this message at 17:08 on Sep 18, 2022 |

lol I don't know if any of you are old enough to remember but in the end of the last century all the way into the beginning of the new one there was kind of a loose community of people that were into doing that stuff with tapes. There were a few comedy/musical radio shows on public radio, like the Subgenius Hour, Rev. Suzie, quite a few contributing artists. The Subgenius Hour had lots of people sending in audio collages that had all kind of weird and fun poo poo. I'd recommend their stuff from the 80s-90s, they also got some really weird musical acts that were pretty good. Inciddentally, a lot of them were kind of political and doing humorous or just weird tape splices of Ronald Reagan wouldn't be unheard of. At this moment I've just dug out an old VST I haven't used in many years, Microdicer from Concrete Effects. Going to have to try autoslicing the Gipper with it too.

They seemed to make a hobby of trying to get sued by the biggest names possible, including U2, Pepsi, Disney, and their own record label SST. Provide a few more details and I'll try.

Trig Discipline posted:Basically it's just a talk about exactly what's going on in this thread - taking a bunch of spoken word and cutting it to say something entirely new, usually in the context of satire. I was planning to talk about Negativland, The Evolution Control Committee, Cassetteboy and my own stuff in the same vein. I think my slot's only about twenty minutes so it's not exactly going to be a deep dive and a lot of it's going to focus on Son of Strelka/Hardcore Prophecy, but I do want to hit the big highlights of the "genre" as a whole before drilling in on my own work. Oh wow, thanks for the detailed answer. And I didn't know you were a scientist, I'll try to be a little more careful next time! I've given this an awful lot of thought, but instead of focusing on the potential of this little medium, being an art school dropout I was focused on the historical and artistic precedent. Our big thing back then was comparing the medium of audio collage to precedent in the visual arts, particularly Kurt Schwitters, Robert Rauschenberg, all the best of the guys and dolls that worked with "found material" in the early 20th C and did a lot to shape the visual arts. Pop art, and of course you may recall that the subgenius people called their art "Bulldada," so a lot of reverence for the most irreverent genre ever to have existed. But there was also a lot of easy and substantial "artistic" precedent in the political recordings (ED: I think my recollection was a little unclear. Now that I'm remembering them a little bit better, they were not usually political so much as about hot topics for the time, sometimes political.) Not that it's of much significance nowadays but I'm 60 and when I was a little boy I used to love that tacky stuff, it was probably from a very small number of people, It was really lowbrow, but it was basically audio political cartoons using samples taken from virtually anywhere. I bet the people doing it have documented their efforts to some extent. I recall made-up interviews with political (ED: and celebrities) figures where they took all the answers from utterances popular in the media, played in a humorous context. It was really about as lowbrow as political cartooning typically goes. But prior to Morning Zoo type shows, there would be loud, obnoxious DJs in the booth having fun and playing goofy poo poo like that. It was full of the most popular soundbytes and memes that the "artists" could find. It was something along these lines: a fictional newscaster is interviewing Jimmy Carter and Jaws the movie has just come out and everybody is crazy to go see Jaws. So they ask the president how he feels about his polls, and his response is the guy from jaws saying "we need a bigger boat" or something, ka-kow. So pretty much the level of intellect you'd find in a lot of Twitter reaction videos. And it really worked for 6-year old me with my first tape recorder. And it was really effective at spreading memes and political biases. The thing I'd maybe suggest, since you're a professor and all, would be maybe a little Ken Nordine. He did not work with audio recordings beyond his own voice, and his big thing was reworking words, phrases and ideas into different contexts. I'm sure you'll remember him if you hear him, he was one of the most popular voiceover people in advertising in the 80s-90s. The act of de- and re-contextualizing words or phrases and the resulting sweet confusion is one of the biggest parts of it, and what made Ken so amusing, in addition to his good voice. (just look up Ken Nordine on Youtube, maybe try "word jazz." But I just went off on my hobby horse a little bit there. I might have some more useful suggestions but I had to get that off my chest. Cheers ED: I think my description of the tape editing things above was mostly accurate but they weren't mostly political. I do recall some being specifically political but mostly they were about popular topics. petit choux fucked around with this message at 17:10 on Sep 20, 2022 |

toadee posted:May be of interest to some for this challenge - Dave Griffiths and Aphex Twin just released this weird spectral morphing/mashing sample tool for free. It takes a target sample and a collection of ‘brain’ samples and tries to fit the sound of the brain to the target, but with varying user designed block sizes and analysis algorithms and such. cool, yeah, somebody just mentioned it above, may have to look into it. I'm here to announce that we need to rename this challenge to the Reagan Synth Revolution Challenge and I'm going forward with that on all fronts. And I think we should probably do something like this once a quarter, and not require that they be effort pieces. I mean I had a great time just running a speech through Stutter Edit last night and had a lot of fun. I suddenly realized I can put an arp in front of Stutter Edit while he talks, some good clean fun here by gosh.

That's my CSPAM roots showing. A post is at worst a bump for the thread. And now look, we're up to 4 pages! And BTW, Cabbages and Kings, I have been listening to Reagan speaking for the first time in years, and it's been very instructive, even if I didn't ever do anything with the audio. And thinking about him compared to Trump a little bit. So thanks, and I'm okay with doing this more often. petit choux fucked around with this message at 16:46 on Sep 27, 2022 |

xzzy posted:As I was staring at waveforms of his voice cutting out clips it was interesting to start to key into the way he spoke. I've never listened to a person talk in that detail before. One common example was when looking for a clear sample of him saying "the" or any other connecting type words. Super common word, gets used constantly. But he always rushed through pronouncing it and if there was another connecting word (say, "of the" or "have the") they were badly mushed/slurred together. Isolate that clip and it was indecipherable mush but expand the selection to include more context and it was super clear to me what he was saying, the "the" always sounded clear and legible. Yeah, as a paid transcriber for years, it's extremely common. And Reagan threw in all these little signature things. I've been noticing this little quaver in his voice he throws in for effect. He really was a well-accomplished actor.

Cabbages and Kings posted:if these were Reagan's greatest jokes I don't wanna hear the outtakes Same generation as Bob Hope, basically same approach to humor. The speech I put up, he made uncomfortable throat-clearing noises while waiting for the laughter to die down a couple times or more, it sounded like. Nothing unnatural but it still gave it an especially eerie feeling. Also on one occasion he waited for the applause that didn't come and you could tell he was disappointed, but not angry. Oh, and the only funny bit is in the very beginning, where the announcer starts getting feedback while he's introducing the president and gets really angry during the last 6 words or so. And yet it felt so right somehow.
