Love it ! You're keeping up the great work with #26 !
Does Mr Box-Head bass player have a new hat there ??? He's a true star and will be wanting a pay raise soon if you're not careful.
Love the tin foil phantom mask too ! Priceless
Another great track as we've come to expect. Keep it going !

 

That was magnifique, mon ami! Everything gave me a warm glow, from the grindhouse video to the tin can rawk to "infiltrate.. elucidate" *sigh*. I think I even heard a filter sweep @ 1 point, but I prolly imagined it in a fever dream of Monster Mashiness! Also, aluminum foil phantom XD

Oh yeah, u kinda inspired my current Soundcloud mania, I was tryn to do 100 songs in 100 days in 100 keys, but it's turned into moar like 2 "songs" >__> in 20 days in 1 key (!), so that's a bit disappointing =( I can appreciate how difficult it is to write actual music under pressure, rather than just mess around like I'm doing XD

 

Thank you all - great to hear it is enjoyable (and that it's obvious as intended as funny).

@Beth not exactly new hat...there's a hat under the box now: more comfort and less stress to the cardboard for longevity... ;)

@famouslut not even a filtersweep - just a flanger. But it stands out as I really rarely use stuff like this :D

Glad you both liked the foil phantom :D that was a last minute addition..that idea came out of nowhere and fit right in :D

Well creativity under pressure doesn't work for everyone. It doesn't for me that's why it's one song/month. I've still got ~30 rough songs and many more loose ideas and melodies lying around. Some people just need the breath of a deadline in their neck I just have to know that I actually can 'finish' and release the songs now instead of endlessly rehearsing it with a band in a damp and moldy room in a bunker. 100 songs in 100 days and in 100 keys is extremely ambitious...that would take serious planning beforehand...dull project management and a process to stick to. I am quite efficient now and took advantage of my education but only for optimizing routines and minimizing annoying tasks that take a lot of time (esp. editing). A project like yours would take all of that and an entire 'roadmap' to ensure its success. And that's just for achieving the goal not necessarily getting satisfying results. If it was a dream of yours to do this you would have to build routines especially for the parts that are repetitive (so not necessarily the creative root of it all) and some backup challenges if your personal muse is out for the day (like "use only one instance of each plugin, include noises by at least three household items, etc.") and more...and if you already know that you're mostly "messing around" it would help to start smaller like "7 songs, 7 days, 7 instruments in focus"...or sth. like that. I wrote an entire article about stuff like this and how to use project management tools to your benefit as a musician but it's in German and it's STILL NOT F***ING PUBLISHED...so I don't get money...well different topic... :D

 

yeah i noticed the duck tape lol
You should get him a roll of this design and it would look like a hatband

Yeah, but it's been kinda interesting having a target, if not the skill or wit to write proper songs under pressure, just sorta improvise & learn as ya go. I mean, it's more of a kinda "force myself to practice more scales" every day / routine. I accidentally wrote one song offhand, just improvising on piano in a scale I hadn't looked at until then. Not a lot else has happened since, tho XD
