What a night! I told my wife that I was going to close myself off for the evening and finish my song for the latest MCRP, Version 4. A brief description: MCRP stands for Monome Community Remix Project and it works like this. A group of monome users each uploads a sample into a pot, then the pot is sent out to all of those that uploaded. Finally, each participant has three weeks to create a song from the pot of samples, no synths, extra instruments, only the samples provided.
You should already be hearing the song that I submitted on this one. It was made completely from a single sample, the sound of a washing machine actually. You can have a listen to the sample in it’s original form on one of my previous posts. This version of the song you’re listening to isn’t going to be the final. I plan on adding quite a bit of effects modulation and mix sweetening. But truthfully, once 2am rolls around you kind of have to wrap up for the night.
The song was created with both monome apps Polygome 64 and Press Cafe, liberally. It was completely arranged solely this evening and I think that it came out pretty good when you consider how little time I was able to devote to it. You can listen to all the songs from this version of MCRP as well as download the album from the MCRP bandcamp site. Everyone who is involved always ends up creating such a wide array of great music.
Please download and enjoy!
