RDP Recordings - March 2012

Since I'm at it, have you heard the RDP recordings for March?

Well, you might enjoy it. And you might enjoy a whole bunch of other stuff over on their blog.

The Wedding

So I was making a little ditty for a Ramshackle Day compilation. Just trying things out, as I am apt to do.

I was using this damaged, warped wedding ceremony reel I had processed at my old job and thought, wouldn't it be some kind of social commentary to put that to sounds of pornography?

This one gal I like, Lorelei Lee, makes some pretty funny noises. All waverly. I dig them. So I took a bunch of clips and tried to edit out her noises, without getting the rest of that stuff in there... Not that it really mattered because, hello filter city. Just toss a ton of reverb on that shit and who knows what is going on?

Then, you know, just fiddled about with it. EQ'd a bit, though I could do more... I'm not so great at that part, I'll admit. Messed with this and that. Arranged. Overlapped. Wrapped everything into a five minute package.

Anyhow, yeah, it came out like this.

I don't know if I will use it for the comp though. Maybe I will just leave it here.

Ramshackle Day Parade

So, if anybody is reading this...
You probably aren't.
But if you are, then guess what. There is a blog for Ramshackle Day Parade. Just what the hell am I talking about, you ask? Glad you did...

Ramshackle Day Parade is a monthly gathering of offbeat music. The sort of stuff that people aren't sure how to categorize. Sometimes they just call it noise, but a lot of it really doesn't seem to fit what is generally described as such. Really, who gives a crap?

It's a relaxed community get together of chums mostly. With weird sounds thrown in the mix. And it's great.

Started way back in the year a couple ago in the month of I can't remember, it left us for a short while and was sorely missed. But, over the summer, it has returned. With a vengeance. It is now hosted every 22nd at Bohemia, and it's doing just fine. Just fine indeed. The open mic section even came back, which was really a favourite of mine.

There's also a BLOG going now, that I guess is going to feature album reviews and whatnot as well, so that's always good. Who knows? Maybe it will show Weird Canada a thing or two about being, you know, actually weird. Oh, I kid, I kid. I don't really read blogs anyhow, so what do I know?

Anyhow, blah blah blah, this is getting totally boring, I think. Just go over there already.
