Holler

By tatecarson on March 29, 2014 6:53 pm

The form is based on a recording of a demonstration of hollerin, which is an old style of speech/song used for communication over long distances. Think yodeling but American. Anyway it's pretty drony on top of that, I wanted the beginning to be kind of meditative and washy. The end uses an old jazz tune that never went anywhere. I'm doing a lot of experimenting with using a sample dry and then using the same sample in granulater to make an instrument and seeing how they interact. Anyone else do anything like this? Anyway, I like how it came out, hope you do too.

Epic.

Oddly enough, I've been working on the same concept; vocal in a max-for-live granulator & also using a snippet in a simpler. I'll try to post it next week.

Cheers.

ohhhh sheeze, once those horns came i i imagine a some chinese railroad workers throwing opium everywhere. Do you mind if i do a rewrk of this track? some jameszoo shit!

Go ahead...although I have no idea who jameszoo is. It's all creative commons anyway so anyone can rework anything. 

This is freaking sweet!  I love how so many of you can build cool, complex music out of a myriad of sounds.  When I try anything like that, it sounds a lot like what you hear if you walk in when the band is tuning up their instruments before a junior high school concert. I can't turn it into music like you do.

Also, thanks for mentioning Colin Stetson (on Spacey tree's site) -- I googled him and he's fantastic!

I'm not super familiar with his music, I knew him from the latest Bon Iver record. I heard a fireside chat he did with redbull music academy recently though that was really interesting.

Rich, textured, whimsical, I like this!

Free like a bird.  Almost collage like at the same time.
