I tried to "rebuild" (or whatever) the intro theme for Nicky Boom to get a hang of the sound/feel of some old-school software I'm rediscovering.

I posted this in the Release Speculation Thread, but I suppose it would be a good idea to post it here too :)

I'm trying to figure out how to use infrasound waves in a recording to .... iunno. Annoy my audience? Creep them out? Say I did? I have no idea what my actual goal is with this other than making my audience want to vomit everywhere.
Infrasound frequencies are subsonic frequencies, like in the neighborhood of 5 to 19 hz, that can do neat shit like resonate eyeballs, cause people to see things out of the corner of their eye, and can make people nauseous or give them the creepy this-place-is-haunted feeling.

I am wondering how best to include them in one of the alternate mixes of my band's new album. I looked at the specs on my recorder and it has this nice highpass filter at 20hz, which normally is helpful, but in this case is no good (it throws out my favored method of hiding things in my recordings, vocoding.)
Computer generated sinewaves?
or..... beat frequencies of sinewaves?
record the harmonics from what would be beat frequencies?

So, I've got this beat I put together with absolutely no melody whatsoever, and I haven't made one for it yet and might not, so until that happens I'm using a stand-in.

yeah but making a record with tracks you've already released is a little silly.

Yeah that's the only reason a lot of the stuff I have on soundcloud is stream only. If I think something is good enough for a release as an album or ep, I'll put it up for thoughts, but keep wotking on it with a release in mind.

yeah I dont put rough ideas or anything like that up, i put up fully finished "there's nothing else I can do with this" type tracks.
which is probably why I don't release much stuff on soundcloud.
I release a track maybe like once a month if that, compared to the multiple releases by everyone else. :P

This is what I did most recently.

A decidedly *not electronic* track.

A cover of Guided By Voices' I Am A Scientist.

Thanks Lens. Weird how it happened, I had the song in my head a few days in a row when I woke up in the morning. I was thinking about how I thought the lyrics were really good & that a slower version would make one listen more closely to the lyrics and their meaning.

I'm digging synth sketch.

Big fan of GBV. My favorite track is I Am A Tree.

Got any originals?

I really dig I Am A Tree. Saw them play it live years ago on that tour, I was close to the stage & also met Pollard that night.

Well, yes, I have tons of originals. Don't know where to point you since I am all over the place stylistically. The link in my sig was the last thing I did.
