Aussie Sample

Ages ago someone (juxt?) asked why I don't use australian samples in my tracks, to which I replied I thought the accent sounded shizen hausen. Well, I found an aussie sample on an audio book and went ahead and did it. And you guys were right; the accent doesn't sound that bad after all...

when the war began.mp3 - 8.49MB

Points for any aussies that recognize the book the sample is taken from. Hint: You all studied it at school.

Lol, cool way of using an eBook... never thought of that, but usually they have this monotonous way of reading which is perfect for music like this. Nice.

Lol, by the way... the title of the mp3 gives away the name of the book, just so you know.

Only thing missing is the first word the series start with.

oh well I'm not a very cryptic person LOL - what you see is what you get

We all had to study the book at school here (now I'm an English teacher and I have to teach the bloody thing)..

NO POINTS FOR GUESSING THEN hehe

sick track man, nice and energetic. great synth patterns, and the snare flams give it a nice dancefloor vibe. is that a piano line in there too?

i've read that book, but not for school. i thought it was gonna be some Fly Away Peter samples at first

(i actually liked that book)

Yeah I like Fly Away Peter too - has a lot of hidden symbolism in it.

Yeah the piano is from the Yamaha V50 - I literally hit keys almost at random and looped the bit that sounded the best! weird idea that kind of worked..

Thanx man, if you think the kick sounds punchy then I'm on the right track! You know your kick drums!!
