It's Alive!

By miraclemiles on October 27, 2024 9:15 pm

Music from a jam last night with Creatures Once bandmate Monstrosus, who in the spirit of the Halloween holiday was actually wearing a monstrous mask when we recorded this section. That was fun and weird. We had a long session and covered a lot of ground but for this part we had fun trying to do something a little dark and spooky. I think we found some good sounds for that. He was using ios apps. I was using the Mininova vocoder, Circuit Tracks and Rhythm, Handsonic with looper, Kaoss Pad.
While editing this down today I began to think about that lovable old fella Frankenstein. So a last minute decision, added some sample audio and video to our creation from this Frankenstein film marked as public domain. Used some voices and some electricity crackling sounds, the other creepy sounds are from our jam.

The funky groove with the deep kick def gives visions of a lumbering n lurching Frankenstein.  Love the sound of the outro piano!

When the kids come to our door at Halloween, I will traumatize them with this track. Perfect, thank you

This is a lot of fun and totally captures the Halloween vibe.  The Frankenstein stuff is a nice addition to the proceedings.

Yeah, felt so lurchy, like ole Franky! Glad you liked that piano sound, not sure what he was using from ios, he's always flipping the apps, you can see him playing on the video but can't really see screen smile Thanks for listening and comment!

Making music together is definitely something to be cherished!

spooktastic! What a cool jam sesh

Cool mix! Funny & spooky

Spooky and musical and atmospheric  and fun but also what a tremendous sense of space! This is a whole theater with a chamber orchestra and actors and I'm right in the middle of the chaos. Just wonderful.

Ha, I love that description. With modern gear it feels like having an orchestra at your fingertips. Hope you have fun in the chaos of the show!
