This is what I was working on yesterday.


LAUNCHPAD MASHUP

[Red Dragon]

Re: beep

Very nice work. Any of those sounds you generated or did you just find them in the program/web?

Re: beep

I wish I could understand what was going on.

Re: beep

Hey thanks. Most of the clips were just sections of songs found in my library. Half the drum loops were lifted from a loop collection. Then there's some a capella tracks.

I'm pushing buttons on one of these guys-
e
-that tells to this software to do stuff.
I'm telling this software to play different clips, then beat them up.

I've seen people do split-screen style videos for things like this.
I decided to just overlay the video of me pushing buttons over the software.

Re: beep

That was badass, and I want one of those.

Nice work!

DESTRUCTION

[Owl of Parliament]

Re: ▲₤ℰ✖ ₳ℜ✞

Neat. I like the second song the best. I feel like it would be kind of interesting to hear a longer version of it, but I still like it short too.

Re: ▲₤ℰ✖ ₳ℜ✞

A bit creepy, but I really dig this.

Re: ▲₤ℰ✖ ₳ℜ✞

I like your music. Even though the visuals you picked are kinda funky, they work with the tunes. I know I said it before it rep form, but the falling toys/pills visuals are pretty cool.

Thanks!

I'm not sure which second song you're referring to, but I think the second video in this thread with the drugs and drinking was too long, and the third video could have been longer.

Thanks! I didn't mean for it to be creepy, but I think it's kind of funny creepy.

I suppose I should try and explain what I was doing with these videos:

COOL FUN started with me dumping all the the loops off of my BOSS RC-3 loop pedal, selecting around 18 of my favorites, and arranging them in Ableton. I then took the song into Final Cut, and cut up the footage, arranging it alongside the song, a different video clip for every loop of audio.

The footage is some recent finds from archive.org, where I go to first for copyright free video and audio and more. They've got a great collection of vintage videos; my favorites are the ones about drinking, drugs, and other bad and scary things.

DESTRUCTION started with the base video, selected clips from an anti-vandalism movie. I brought that video into ableton, and stretched it to the timeline, bringing in a Castlevania MP3, and some drum loops. YEAH.

Awesome.

I love the second one best also. LOVE the way the video goes with the beat...brill-o. I want to remix that!

BLEED2DETH

Re: ▲₤ℰ✖ ₳ℜ✞

I made a record for February Album Writing Month...





Hyperspaced

A record about
space, drugs, and love.
Mostly instrumental,
somewhat hip-hop,
relatively glitchy,
at times annoying.


Listen/download at alexanderish.bandcamp.com.
16 tracks, ~35 minutes, free download. Bonus track with album.

I had fun making it, and I kind of like it!

I'd love to hear any feedback/criticism~

Re: ▲₤ℰ✖ ₳ℜ✞

I forgot to give you feedback on this. Sorry about that!

I think this is a cool album overall. I like the transition from track 7 to 8, and 7-9 are solid. Space Funeral is a nice groove, and it's probably my favorite. Track 11 is funky, and I like the weird sample. Key Largo is pretty awesome, and so is the last song.

I wasn't as fond of 2 & 6. But that's just me.

How much would it cost to get a physical copy of this from you? It doesn't have to be dressed up or anything.
