WeeklyBeats.com / Music / Jim Wood's music / Cluck Old Hen
Reimagining of an Appalachian folk song (earliest transcription 1886). Mac computer voice Samantha:
My old hen's a good old hen
She lays eggs for the railroad men
Sometimes one, sometimes two
Sometimes enough for the whole damn crew

This is wonderful. Like electronic blues, in a way. Though of course coming from quite a different culture.
I've got some catching up to do on your work Jim, but I'll get there!
The "old meets new" approach of this is very cool both in concept and execution. Good stuff.
I use the word "hypnotic" a lot to describe your pieces, but that's the effect they have. Excellent work, Jim--great fuzzy synth, confusing vocal cuts, outstanding choice of source material. Bravo!
Awesome track, high fidelity sounding, lots of fresh inventions,
a big pleasure to listen to it. Love this.
very cool idea, even better execution... one of your best pieces methinks
This is great. Love the bass-line and the glitchy voice. Very Younger Brother sort of sound. Really enjoyed it.

Really digging this. And I think onezero nailed the graphic

Chicken,egg, chicken, egg… Thank you all for your kind and perceptive comments!
Really digging the deep bassline throughout the track. Suhweet chopped SamVox too. Nice job!

I've gotten leery of using other people's vocals (mostly copyright issues); computer voices make a no-fuss replacement. ::)
