Battle 76- Throwing Rocks

Post by Unfolding »

Firstly, massive props to Teewok for giving me the chance to pick samples for a battle. Thanks!

This one's just a little different to the others, it comes with 3 samples instead of the usual 2. Other than that the normal rules apply: SPs only, no external samples.

Samples are:
The drums: Melvins- Cow
http://www.box.net/shared/o6hl7y15j3
The synth: Boards of Canada- Over The Horizon Radar
http://www.box.net/shared/x7xzk2opn4
The song: Refused- The Apollo Programme Was A Hoax
http://www.box.net/shared/ze614ex3kt

Using either Boards or Refused didn't seem like enough to make a good tune, but together they should be interesting. Make sure you've either got a good ear or a guitar tuner nearby to get it all in key, its time to work your SP's pitch shifter!

This comps ends on Tuesday 26th of October. Get cracking!
Weapons: SP-606, 404SX, 404mk2

Here's mine-- I'm still not used to recording on this boss, hopefully the levels sound slright. Looking forward to hearing some more joints! Peace.

Love the drum sample.

yo,
sp-404




P.S.
if you want to add shit like ^this box.net player to your posts, just create a folder in your box.net account, put your beat there, then right-click on the folder with your beat inside, choose "Share", then "embed folder in your site".

In the pop-up window you will se some strange code, find this thing in the code:

"........widget_hash=t0jr1tb306&v=0&cl=0"......" (copy those characters which are placed between "hash=" and "&"

then, write in your post like that: "[box](paste things underlined above)[/box]"

for example:

"[box]t0jr1tb306[/box]"

The samples (though I liked them) didn't really click with me, and i'm still learning so I couldn't really force out a beat, ended up mangling it into a mid-bass thing with random drumming :D

Its a bit crappy and unfinished, but I learnt some new things about using the 404 so its cool: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TiquwBo0XW8

Here's mine. Its way minimal, but is powerful and cinematic at the same time. I think I'm going to touch this up sometime in the future with some orchestral strings. I hope you dig it.

Hey everyone...new member here. Just got my Roland SP-404SX a few weeks ago and I felt a little lost so I'm glad that I found this site. I've been enjoying everyone's stuff for this battle and others. You guys are fucking inspiring.

Here's my entry for this battle:

P.S. Thanks for picking Boards of Canada. I dig!
