Enjoy (or not) some of the music being put together by Gearhand's
crack team of musicians. Several of these songs are in
Big Head Zed.
Your feedback
is appreciated. These songs were created using Sony's Acid Pro 4.0 (previously sold by Sonic Foundry)
using sections of prefab music called "loops." These are MP3s but for the
game itself they are decomposed into "MO3" files which are a lot smaller (150-350k).
Terraform
If this song is any guide, terraformers spend an inordinate amount of
time dancing. Jolly folks, they. This 3:28 song is made from a very small
number of loops from the
UFO Dance
collection. MO3 size: 286k.
Waking Up
Good morning, sunshine! It's time to wake up. This
piece runs 3:36 long,
and contains 9 loops, mostly from the
Bill Laslow Collection.
The "fadehats" effect comes from
Acid Fanatic's
Twisted Beats. This song has gone through a number of iterations, the last
change being the removal of the bridge, which I felt was too much like the
verse. MO3 Size: 250k.
Revvin
Lotsa guitar on this easy-going 2:43 song. 10 loops, all from the
Bill Laslow Collection.
MO3 Size: 184k.
Assembly
I'm not sure what's going on in this song, it's either about robot workers at
a factory revolting against their biological oppressors, or it's about banana
daquaris, you decide. In either case, it's really long at 4:48. Uses mostly
UFO Dance loops with the exception
of the verse and bridge beat, which is from the
Bill Laslow Collection. MO3 Size: 282K.
Galactic Cabbie
So named because when I started building the tune it sounded like a space car weaving through
traffic. After I was through though it sounded more like CannonBall Run 3000. It feels a little
empty after the bridge, so in the MO3 version I added another chorus in there. 3:28.
Uses UFO Dance loops, except for the
four space car sounds which are from a sound effects collection. MO3 Size: 326k.
Slosh
This is a short minute-long piece intended to loop back to the fourth measure.
I was thinking of using this for the main menu. So you can hear the looping,
I repeat it once, bringing this MP3 to 2:12. All Acid Fanatic
loops, most from "Subconscious Programming," and a couple from his Techno 1 disc.
MO3 Size: 182k.
Fix Your Mind On Me
Clocks in at 3:42 and gets its name from the sound byte repeated four times in
the song. Entirely created from loops in the
Bill Laslow Collection.
The strange vocals are from a loop labeled "Pygmy Voices."
Space Knock
3:44. Every loop here is from Acid Fanatic's
"Subconscious Programming" disc. I have most of his other discs, but I think this is
his best one. MO3 Size: 168k.
Rythma Funk
2:16 I'm not sure what I was thinking when I did this one. It has some elements
I like, and some I don't. This isn't a candidate for Big Head Zed,
but it was fun to play around without any loop restrictions. The singer sounds
adolescent, and that's because the song is pitch-shifted to key of A from
the singer's recorded key of F. I composed it in A, then added the singer's voice.
When I change it to F the vocals sound right, but the rest sounds odd. Ah well.
16 loops involved, all from the
Bill Laslow Collection.
Funky One
One of the earliest songs I did, created entirely from free loops found on
Sonic Foundry's site and around the web. 2:00.
