My attempt at the bass-only challenge someone put out there during the first week! Last night, we had our monthly extended family dinner at my grandpa's house. We were unpleasantly interrupted by a barrage of emergency vehicles, as the huge barn across the street had become engulfed in flames (thankfully with no people or animals inside). I was quite inspired by how we all, as the "village" of parent helpers, came together to help my three-year-old cousin process what was going on rather than trying to shield it from him; however, I couldn't help but feel that us asking so many constructive questions ("what kind of lights do you see? How many firefighters are there?") might have been a bit surreal for his young brain. I recorded a brief loop that felt like its ever-increasing rhythmic language mirrored the urgency of such a situation perfectly, I ended up trying to convey that through a bunch of different weird bass/vocal techniques, including pitching my falsetto down an octave and then formant shifting it back up to its natural frequency range. #bass #loops #experimental #lowpassfilters

What kind of lights do you see? Do you see blue, or do you see green? Are there three jackets of yellow, or four? Do you think the ceiling will be safe? the floor? How many miles away do you think that hose is from? What do you think they'll do when they're all done?
