Auntie Sin (Anti-Synthesis Game)
-
@wobbiewobbit 5 weeks
we skipped this at 50/90 but i am up for organising a game of Auntie SIn again this FAWM.
For those who don't know it there is a list below to sign up to to be part of a chain (or more chains if there are lots of people to fit in.)
1 SEED SONG - someone writes a song to start us off
2 ANTI -the next person writes the "opposite" to the seed song
3 SYN - and the next person writer a "synthesis" of songs 1&2
4 ANTI - the opposite of song 3
5 SYN - synthesis of 3&4
etc
i always find this fun and there are interesting songs that come out of it. each song stands in its own right and there is plenty of room for interpretation and originality.
turnaround for song posting 1-3 days, 4 mmm ok... anything more no problem! just let me know and we can reshuffle the list, i think the way to keep it rolling along is to be flexible and shuffle a bit. we might not even need more than one chain that way. anyway raise your hand at a suitable moment, and sign up below for a rough plan.

-
@wobbiewobbit 5 weeks
hey sorry that was maybe a bit prescriptive - i edited it!
-
@spikedirection 5 weeks
I could do this if needed. Last year I managed to post a song on page one so I reckon I can be fairly quick off the blocks again. Junk blues ok with everyone?

-
@wobbiewobbit 4 weeks

-
@wobbiewobbit 4 weeks

-
@wobbiewobbit 4 weeks

-
@tawny249 2 weeks
@wobbiewobbit I think @loveonamixtape's song is for Chain 3..it was posted in chain 1? Unless something has been adjusted outside of this thread.
-
@erbaer 2 weeks
this sounds weird and wonderful! If you put together another chain... count me in.
-
@wobbiewobbit 2 weeks
oops sorry about that. thanks @tawny249 that puts you up @thedustcollector !
@erbaer keep an eye out for slot fillers required... speaking of which who can jump in now for @mattmuk please? -
@wobbiewobbit 2 weeks
ugh its done that thing again
lost chain 4 will get it back shortly. -
@erbaer 2 weeks
@wobbiewobbit ..Is @mattmuk not participating?
-
@erbaer 2 weeks
@wobbiewobbit f that's the case, I can take up that slack and do the next one in the sequence. Otherwise, I will wait for another chain to develop.
-
@wobbiewobbit 2 weeks
haven't heard from him for days and no activity on his page. If you can do it straight away feel free to jump in now, even though late to the queue, i think priority goes to who can do it now rather than who was here first.
-
@wobbiewobbit 2 weeks
go for it @erbaer! you might be finished by the time someone else volunteers
-
@thedustcollector 2 weeks

CHAIN 4 ANTI to @erbaer 's SYN: https://fawm.org/songs/118938/
-
@thedustcollector 2 weeks
hi @wobbiewobbit! so uh, Audacity has just decided to wipe my entire project file clean of content, which is... utterly spectacular, given how many hours have gone into it. (a lot. a lot of hours.)
I can piece something together from raw tracks I've somewhat haphazardly saved to a different file (thank God for paranoia), but because I play literally no instruments and it's just all vocal layers, it'll take at least a couple days more to construct (unless someone wants to volunteer an instrument).
Would that be okay, or would you rather move on to the next person instead? I can forfeit if it's better for the chain. -
@wobbiewobbit 2 weeks
thanks @gbg2016 - @spikedirection you are up for SYN on Chain 4 😀

@mistermann 1 week
@wobbiewobbit got it - need to sit down and listen and collect my ideas. I am last in the chain, correct?
-
@wobbiewobbit 1 week
@mistermann you asked to be first and last in that chain which would be nice if we can stick to for you, i don't know if you are open to more people being appended to that chain if needs be since we only have a few days left and some chains are struggling. what do you think?

@wobbiewobbit 1 week
go for it @elesimo thank you

@wobbiewobbit Yes, I got it now. But honestly you might want to swap me for the end of the chain...I don't see myself writing AND recording this in time for two more people to respond before Sunday. 😞 Any way I could take the final slot instead? @the3queens , what do you think?
-
@wobbiewobbit 1 week

@wobbiewobbit 5 days
@taylortay @mikehex - if mike does want to get it in during FAWM how about a swap? Or if not Mike, does anyone else want that slot for during FAWM?? @taylortay you can slot in when you are ready if you cant get to it before fawm finishes anyway, would rather people get a turn during fawm if poss. I know we are into final hours now. What do you think @mikehex?
-
@mikehex 5 days
@wobbiewobbit Oh, I'll take it. @taylortay okay with you if I take upon myself your syn? (Would that make me a syn eater? In any case, definitely syn-full)
You can have my anti -
@wobbiewobbit 5 days

@mistermann 4 days
THE LAST TRACK OF CHAIN 4 is up! Now to go back and listen to/comment on the entire chain.
https://fawm.org/songs/123831/
This track was a SYN of:
@spikedirection - https://fawm.org/songs/120975/
Which is a slide-resonator bluesy track with a focus on a cynical intellectual enamored with Noam Chomsky
@sapient - https://fawm.org/songs/121128/
Which is a dance track littered with LOTR samples and LOTR-inspired samples.
So my synthesis? A dance track sampling @spikedirection's slide resonator (many thanks for his blessing to do so), with lyrical content and theme driven from the first search it for "noam chomsky tolkien", which points to this satirical article from McSweeney's
https://www.mcsweeneys.net/articles/unused-audio-commentary-by-howa...
It all blends together for a bouncing cautionary tale involving noam chomsky, tolkien, and applying a dash of cynicism to material one reads on the internet. -
