needless to say, this would be heavily loop-based, so i figured y'all might would have some equally valuable input. http://messageboard.tapeop.com/viewtopic.php?t=508 hey all... just thought i'd throw a few questions for a project i'd like to do in the relatively near future. let ye chew on it a bit. i'd like to start a group composed of maybe three instrumentalists and three people on laptops and other recording gear. the idea would be to create songs out of sounds found specifically on site. sample the smokerator, squash the hell out of it, drop the pitch, make something of a bassline, etc. this has been done in the studio by a good chunk of people, matmos, amon tobin, etc, but i'm not familiar with anyone who does this live. the other kicker is that i'd like to be able to do this entirely without the audience's knowledge. i want to sample them, manipulate it almost past the point of recognition, and give it right back to em. reassemble an essentially bugged conversation into a melody of some nature. so i want to start a band that would need to be able to recreate each venue as a secret, collapsible, realtime studio. what kind of equipment would be necessary for this? software? any ideas on a cheap way to create bugs of good enough quality? does anyone know of any bands who have wholly or largely used found samples as source material? anyone know of any better questions? and its on. thanks! nd _________________________________________________________________ Help STOP SPAM with the new MSN 8 and get 2 months FREE* http://join.msn.com/?page=features/junkmail
