100 PURGING POPSONGS (11-20)
All songs are composed using PhoenixStudio on a Pocket PC PDA.
 |
|
Composition characteristics:
| 11 | high speed purger | 1:18 (125 bpm) |
| based on: | - fastest drums i could make, figured it would make pretty funky upbeats - flying start |
|
| surprise factor: | - fast drums, - alternating accompaniment |
|
| synth sounds: | - superfast upbeats, - break |
|
| feel: | tribal | |
| 12 | kijk daar gaan ze | 1:25 (115 bpm) |
| based on: | arpeggios are only slightly adjusted. everybody expected a thumping bass, so put one in. first experiment with miscarriage bass. |
|
| surprise factor: | - 8 totally random Patterns in the arpeggio, very funky | |
| synth sounds: | - splattering synth sound, - logarithmic slide bass |
|
| feel: | funky and never boring melody lines | |
| 13 | 256mph | 1:22 (96, 192 bpm) |
| based on: | using basic techno/gabber techniques (alternating slow, fast beats and heavy dynamics) | |
| surprise factor: | - hihat creates completely unintended superfast jungle/techno | |
| synth sounds: | - agressive sharp bass (supersaw), - xylo-like synth |
|
| feel: | fast techno | |
| 14 | the mumps | 1:43 (60 bpm) |
| based on: | documentary music for some underwater movie | |
| surprise factor: | - near pitchless underwater scuba melody | |
| synth sounds: | - intimidating noise, - underwater sound |
|
| feel: | tranquility | |
| 15 | alleen bij maanlicht | 1:24 (120 bpm) |
| based on: | wanted to make phasing Patterns (shifting beats), so the chord and beat keeps changing. no drums |
|
| surprise factor: | - shifting melody beats | |
| synth sounds: | (nothing special, just sine and reverb) | |
| feel: | contemporary classic | |
| 16 | lookee for a tankstee-a-shaan | (135 bpm) |
| based on: | chord was in the archive and i wanted to make dub/reggae. decided to use this chord sound for it. |
|
| surprise factor: | - chord with sharp monophonic synth - echo drums |
|
| synth sounds: | - miscarriage sine sub bass | |
| feel: | reggae/dub | |
| 17 | blubber goes to work | 2:43 (111 bpm) |
| based on: | using old 8bit techniques to circumvent synth restrictions. combining low & high notes per synth, doubling the possible sounds to 6 synths. lots of hidden sounds |
|
| surprise factor: | - 6 sounds with only 3 synths, - muting the open hihat |
|
| synth sounds: | - wailing double horn - high drips - soothing xylo - nasal arpeggio |
|
| feel: | dragging dance, phat bass | |
| 18 | lunapark / wirsindjaintressant | 2:05 (140 bpm) |
| based on: | 7 different songs in one song using (nearly) the same synth settings for all (Bars 0, 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30) |
|
| surprise factor: | - doesn't start on the beat | |
| synth sounds: | - breaking up myst-synth (see Bar 19) | |
| feel: | happy house | |
| 19 | sweet failer | 1:06 (90 bpm) |
| based on: | combining different Patt lenghts and random synth settings | |
| surprise factor: | - different Patt lengths | |
| synth sounds: | - 80's game sound (+24/-24), - tubular bass (powng), - 808 kick on SYN2, - metallic crying synth |
|
| feel: | dark underground | |
| 20 | arcade | (250 bpm) |
| based on: | punkish lines without clogging the sound | |
| surprise factor: | - recreating arcade sounds at 250 bpm works really well | |
| synth sounds: | - pac man samples | |
| feel: | atari arcade terror |
