findland mashup

this song was made with two findings on the garbage this week. it started with a vinylrecord from finnland, which I rescued from the rain, on which different folkloristic songs, probably from the 70ies, were presented. I liked what I could listen to, and I decided to sample some of the best parts. the next thing I found was an edrum from logitech, which was usable with guitarhero, (do you remember?? 90ies-00?) a drumset to be used with the TV-screen.
I found out how to connect this simple plastic-toy with the computer. just had to find a bluetooth Wii- controller, install the osculator plugin to set the MIDI channels in the ableton drumrack and had a horrible latency problem.(and the pads responded not accurate, nor there was a velocity) but somehow it was cool and unpredictible. better results I had with an alesis dm5 drumrack, which worked correct, no latency and even had simple velocity. the sounds are very 90ies and rockish. nevertheless, I had to record something, but I had so many samples with different grids, so that I had to play freestyle. in addition to that, I recorded my analog drums in the basement and warped them to the finnland loops. it was very complicated and time consuming to mix all those recordings with different tempi into one track. I also played guitar with effects and some tones from an early baroque organ record by an anonymous composer.
as I do not understand the language, I hope it is all political correct, what they sing about.

I wish my garbage would give me inspiration. Instead all I have are samples of kitty litter
