This is the end... my only friend... the end...

To put it plainly: I was sexiled.

So I decided what better way to pass the time than to bust out my MIDI keyboard and finally do that final project!
Fortunately, by some means that I will not disclose over the Internet, I found myself with Reason, Recycle, Wave Editor, AND Logic Pro on my computer!

By finally opening the "Twiddly Bits MIDI drum loops library" that had been sitting on my desktop forever(!), I found an interesting "Earth Beat" and looped it in Wave Editor, attempting to use some "reverse" on it, though it may be only slightly noticeable, because it reminded me of a heartbeat, and what better way to make music than to emulate life? Then Recycle was only too kind to let me put it through the digital sampler RX-style!

So Logic sucks and giving you control of the synths, right?
so true.

so Bust out that REWIRE!
I was aiming for a house-esque tune with ambient qualities once again, which is why the bell-like sounds are looming in the background for most of the song.
And that lead line was meant to contrast the softer tones.
If you couldn't tell, the last two bits of the song are pretty much just me going crazy on all eight of the control knobs on the keyboard.

and here 'tis!

boomp3 wasn't working, so I had to go back and repost this blog entry with another means of arriving at my music.

Hence, the link before you:

The piece is called: Shaking Hands with a Closed Fist. (yes, inspired by none other than my fortune cookie last night).
The other pieces are just earlier work from the beginning of this semester, more or less.

ENJOY!
