Battle 103: free your drums and...

...your ass will follow! :)

this is a fragment from Joe Henderson's "Multiple" (1973), track 2 "bwaata". the original track is about 10 minutes, this excerpt is just about 50 seconds because is in .wav format from my cd (i wanted high quality but was hard to upload) but it's also an excuse to a sort of challenge (something like "less is more" thing etc), so no more than 8 seconds to sample (but you can add for example 2sec from here 2 sec from there etc), plus another challenge: the drums must come "from your mouth", you have to sample your noise/vocals etc.

so recapitulating the rules:

-max 8 sec of sample (but you can make 2 or whatever sec from here and there: the sum must be always 8 )
-drums from your voice


the sample

great stuff so far

interested - going to try to get my head out of the MV88 and do something on the 555 again

You guys use internal mic, something like an SM57, etc?

hehe cool yeah i figured that was allowed since 303/505 etc dont have built in mics. I've heard the SM57 is a great beatbox mic, me beat boxing is like Lawrence Welk breakdancing but we'll see how it goes.

guys you're not forced to beatboxing, i'm glad if you'll do it, but you can also just "chop" your snare,kick and hihats and then rearrange the thing together. this is allowed, don't worry about that.
