I think the e-mail address for the myspaz where I quietly leaked my creations to absolutely no-one so I'm going to dump my infernal noise right on the blagosphere.

Black & White - Lonely Android Version (demo)

For those that have encountered previous musical projects I have been involved in, little warning is required. Everyone else should know that I consider this a proof of concept, and consider suggestions that I can't sing as an offer to do better. It's a collection of first takes I put together using Rosegarden earlier today, with absolutely no thought paid to the latency, realtimeness or anything resembling an effort to mix things properly as it's a bitch to do in Rosegarden, and I'm a victim of the lack of multicore realtime support in Ubuntu 8.10 so there's little point in me prodding Ardour right now.

I plan to strip out the (fake roland flavour) piano and put in a few layers of clean guitar or maybe some more considered synthage. This is the first time I've got anywhere using a vocoder and I'm considering using it more. I've a stack of material waiting for me to get my hear round how to get the vocal sounds I want and the vocoder is helpful for filling in where my voice doesn't reach, especially when I can't lock someone in a room and wave a microphone at them.
