Firewatch

[PLAY]

   track 2 time 2:15

fluffy little ...

lyrics:


Firewatch

i was on firewatch
it was a saucer
it was definitely a saucer
it was brighter than a flare
we had them on the hotline

i was on firewatch
it was a saucer
it was definitely a saucer
it was brighter than a flare
we had them on the hotline

when it crash-landed
it was like those legends and myths
after trying to explain it so many times
it became an obsession

when it crash-landed
it was like those legends and myths
after trying to explain it so many times
it became an obsession

quantum gravity
prime obsession
quantum evolution
the time of the test
we were mostly unaware of the changing land

i was on firewatch
it was a saucer
it was definitely a saucer
it was brighter than a flare
we had them on the hotline

i was on firewatch
it was a saucer
it was definitely a saucer

it became an obsession
it was a saucer
it was definitely a saucer

it became an obsession
it was definitely a saucer
it was a saucer

prime obsession
it was definitely a saucer
it was a saucer

the time of the test
i was on firewatch

Watch this video first.

With apologies. I know I have changed the tenor of his talk for dramatic effect.

The letters of the following poem are interpreted as amino acids into codon triplets. Then the triplets are mapped to musical notes A, C, G and D. (D standing in for T). The harp playing throughout is playing the code...

This poem will be written by Human Mark II...


I AM NQT A MAN
CREATED IN THE

I AM INSTEAD
A PRQDVCT QF

AND IN NQ WAY
AM I THE LAST MAN
I AM QNLY AN VPGRADE

Derivatives

[PLAY]

   track 8 time 5:23

Not a lick of creativity here. Looking for creativity? Leave now.

Not done with Magic GarageBand. However, none of these sounds was created by me in any way. Most are from freesound. Some are modified loops. I didn't write any of the code for any of the sounds effects either. I didn't write the code that mixed this down, nor did I create the MPEG level 3 algorithm, or write the code that did that conversion.

(Oh no. Not that "loops" argument again. Music is music - I don't care how you make it.) http://www.macjams.com/forum/viewtopic.php?forum=6;showtopic=131947

GarageBand synths used in this song:

Plastic Factory
Electric Bass

(plus various effects and AUs - need I list those too?)

~~~~~~~~ I did however write the code used on this for final gain-riding, transient peak clipping, and stereo enhancement. And it took a while to gather, arrange, and mix all this stuff together. Does that count for anything?

lyrics:

I Ride The Trails

Riding thru the valley on a summer afternoon

In my mind's eye
Go through the woods
My horse knows the way

In my mind's eye
I see the trails
My horse knows the way

Riding thru the valley on a summer afternoon
Butterflies are landing on the flowers far away

In my mind's eye
I can see trails
I just ride

In my mind's eye
I ride
I ride

Riding thru the valley on a summer afternoon
Butterflies are landing on the flowers far away
Floating on the breeze I hear you sigh

In my mind's eye
I ride
I ride
