Mixed Morals

I worked for a couple of days on a "Meh" song before I decided to junk it (saved the title, though). This is a rework of something from late last year. Chipmunk vocals: Authors Playhouse 1944-07-14 "The Mysterious Stranger." Endless random arpeggiation.

If Alvin and the Chipmunks dropped acid with a bunch of robots and decided to lay down some sweet jams, I imagine the results would be something like this.  Awesome stuff.

yes, a throwback to the era of novelty songs. ::)

Glad you junked the 'meh'. Yes... chipmunks... robots... acid... = bOoM!

These are spacemunks trying to steal a whole sola system! Super cool, i love it when music puts pictures in my head smile

Trippy! You could say those chipmunks went a bit crazy being in space for so long... You could say they went... nuts! I'm sorry I couldn't resist the pun smile

I went to the old radio source you mentioned above. That seems to be an eldorado for historical transmissions.
It is a clever art, how you transport old and new media into todays music and give them an unique futuristic ambient style. The track is hypnotising and a pleasure to listen to.

Thanks all! I can still remember listening to a creepy radio broadcast alone in my Grandmother's Charles Addam-like house and being so terrified that I ran outside and listened to the rest on our car radio (so that I could see if anything was trying to sneak up on me).

Fantastic tune. Hypnotic and kinda spooky

Like the bass on this one and the swirly stereo effect

This one takes me to another world! Btw, I was inspired by you to have a play around with Alter Ego. Fun times.

Super deep bass that punches thru the cool arp line.  Spooky indeed!
