It's got a Death Curse

I mean who starts October with Michael Myers and ends with Jason? Living in backwards land I tells ya.
A good portion of my time this week was spent trying to create the famous Friday the 13th noise. I didn't sample it from the film, instead I made it myself from scratch and I'm not unhappy with it. Here's the thing - most people the sound is "Chi Chi Chi,Ka, Ka, Ka" which isn't correct. The composer Harry Manfredini took the line from the original Friday the 13th "Kill her Mommy" and processed the Ki sound and the Mo sound which created the now famous "Ki, Ki, Ki, Ma, Ma, Ma". So I recorded myself making a Ki and a Ma and went to town. It was a lot of fun but used up a lot of this weeks very limited time.
From there, rather than doing some fucked up drones I thought I'd try an 80's synth sound cause I just needed more stress in my life I guess haha
Oh I also recorded myself doing Crazy Ralph line "It's got a death curse, you're doomed. Doomed." When I played that back...well I don't think I've ever deleted anything more quickly.
Made in Ableton on the tranquil shore of Crystal Lake.
