Nascent

Decided to try and make a somewhat heavier beat than I normally do. Or at least not a full on ambient pad fest. So I heard about Google's new Tone Transfer (nice name teehee) experiment where it takes a sound (your voice or uploaded file) and converts it to another instrument (flute, saxophone, violin or trumpet). It's all A.I. based so it has it's quirks. But sometimes the quirks workout in a good way. I first saw this on display via Andrew Huang's recent YT video. https://youtu.be/f8CdZxWj--A
So he decided to use one of his modular beats and see how it would sound. It was freaky and actually worked well layered with the beat. Soooo I decided why not throw one of my boring beats from this current track in there and see what kind of madness I get out of it. I chose the saxophone and it basically turned the beat into an angry dying elephantophone. But it sorta worked for what I was going for. After adding distortion, delay, auto filter and reversing it took on it's own life. It's not featured prominently really in the track but hey I thought it was worth mentioning a cool lil experimental thing to my WB frainds. (It's at 1:29 for those playing the home game.)
Oh yeah the rest of the track is the usual angry Piano and some synths from Tyrell and Wavetable. Thanks for listening/reading. Cheers! *beer cracketh open nao*
