Banging

I decided to use only the shared material for creating all the sounds. First song made with Drambo for me (plus some plugins).
Very appropriately also spotted by accident one steam train rolling backwards today for a “cover” photo.

Superb stuff!

1930's National resonator slide blues with steam engine rhythm!!!

[Microtribe]

Yep. Called it. This is the @waftlord steam fetish thread. Slightly disguised as an open battle thread.

Maybe a friend of Francis Bourgeois.

5 days left to drop something mental involving trains, i’d like more info on how the original recordings were captured, but it’s tough to date 78s from archive. what did a field microphone look like in early 1900s, and what did they record onto?

Steaming Horse Poo

i think there’s a bit of latency there…MIDI clock not syncing properly

@waftlord

do something totally unexpected with one, or some, or all of these

Remix/mashup inspired by the original intro:

Silly Love Songs - Paul McCartney & Wings - 1976 [HQ] - YouTube

Another amazing find.
This crazy youtube channel!

Ok! I did my best to mangle the shit out of the train sounds with time stretching (E520 Hyperion) and filtering (Rossum Morpheus).

Kass' Theme on Steam Powered Music Box

anymore for anymore?

[guga]

here’s my take on the Shellac was going to add some visuals too but didn’t manage to, so not much to see in there. all the sounds are from the supplied recordings except for a pad at the beginning of the track

I was interested in, came back home recently, deadline not reached, nevermind. I planned a Risset like stuff.
Were in 1814 already ?

(was scrolling down the list with my thumb and a vote was cast by error…)

[Microtribe]

Pretty sure you can remove your vote and correct it.

[blakewalt]

Thanks. Tapping on the one selected doesn’t do much. No idea how I can undo that. I was interested in this challenge (not really surprising but I thought it’d be a good OT learning experience) but the deadline was too short.

Anyway, I’ll listen to all the submissions and vote for real (Sorry if my real vote changes my ghost vote!)
