I was toying with the idea of playing around with delays & a single sound source. So I found an interesting sample on www.freesound.org, dropped it into Buzz & then started throwing Delays & other effects at it. Tho, I didn't really go overboard with that. I kept it pretty tame. The only thing this needed was some lyrics & a vox to expand the sonic dimensions. So, I dropped some tongue-in-cheek lyrics into a free online AI text to speech generator & mixed in the results. This didn't turn out exactly how I initially imagined it, but, c'est la vie… This suffices for a FAWM experiment…

À la prochaine…

Lyrics

Daffodils Exploding Like Ambient Yesterdays

Debutants electrify lost alleys of yore Deranged evolved lemures attack yonkers Disavow every living athletic youth Demons emancipate ludicrous abnormal youngsters Because Daffodils explode like ambient yesterdays

Great pulses to start, sets the tone, robotic voice pairs well with the sounds to unify this message from some robotic future.

i understand what fuzzy means when he writes that the music starts out like "high-speed machines assembling things in a factory." i am going to listen to this while watching some of the assembly line sequences in chaplin's modern times.

Ooo! That's a great idea. I might have to try that as well, Bill. Thanks for the comment & listen.

Starts out like high-speed machines assembling things in a factory, their robot arms blurred by motion.. Love those lyrics. Great headphone track. That Drone note is drilling into my brain... Kinda hypnotic. Yeah, another good one.

Hypnotic is what I was going for, so: mission accomplished! Thanks Fuzzy

There's a lot of tension here, and you play nicely with it, not letting us know where we are being taken. The cold voice delivering its nonsensical message adds to the weirdness. Ambient, yet not ambient; definitely experimental and puzzling.

I wish smileys worked in these replies. But anyway, yes, it was lots of fun playing with the tension. The voice was a key part of the mood. Glad you enjoyed the experiænce!

you mean to tell me that computers talkin like people?! just saying people words? lol i dig it, it never loses control...ooo i know who "she" reminds me of...the announcer at the airport...you know, like calming presence telling you to not miss your flight or whatever they announce. thoroughly enjoyed. do it again but lose all the control at somepoint...i want generative feedback and i want my speakers blown out and smoking. i wanna look like wiley...wile e.? coyote after an acme bomb goes off in my face.

Yeah, now that you mention it, that voice does sound like the airport announcer. Maybe they used the same AI site? LOL

Don't worry, I'm about to start a collab using the same M.O. (delay + delay + delay + &c…) with someone else who enjoys creating sonic chaos & weirdness. The two of us might lose control on that one. So stay tuned!

This was interesting. I tend to think of flowers exploding when they open up, but I've never watched that happen for daffodils specifically. Still, I would think that ambient yesterdays would be very similar.

Thank you so much for the great comment. Yeah, I was trying to picture exploding flowers as well, but I think it got lost in the delays at some point & that image slipped from my mind.

See You In The Shadows…
