Hegemony, Let's Talk About It

Before we talk about hegemony and the importance of social democracy and resistance, let's talk about gambling! I sat down this week to do some mouth sounds over some beats and samples recorded from a recent session with License. I was first thinking about my boss who gambles and likes to play Craps. He rolled all the good numbers in Vegas recently and people at the table kept tipping him $100 chips because he was winning them money. A good day, but one day he'll lose a lot I bet. But then that phrase "hedge your bets" turned to "hegemony" and "hegemonic dictation" maybe because I was listening to news while driving home from work and started thinking about the stories and the politics, and that I'm excited Bernie's doing pretty well so far. Drum sounds came from License, his original beat in beginning and end, me resampling into new beats in the middle. Other sounds from Circuit Monostation. When I said "I scare myself sometime" it was for real. I had headphones on with back to the door and kept thinking someone was coming in the room behind me. People from my family will do that sometimes, and if I'm making weird mouth sounds about hegemony they look may be alarmed. I was left alone though. The stuttering in there isn't a fancy effect either, really me stuttering. Maybe the first time recorded! So cheers to democracy, looking forward to voting here in a week or two.
