Blind Mime Ensemble
the eagle suffers little birds to sing 05:35/256k
Buzzsaw uploaded some piano loops. One of these has been slowed and processed to achieve the bed of electronics. Merged with that is a field recording offered by Zebra Mann and the Loopy Spiderz of rain and traffic. A wall of reverb was added thereto. Further into the piece an analog bass enters haltingly, an arpeggio using and android app called Nodebeat picks it up and I play percussion on a table and a tambourine. All sorts of fun on a Saturday morning. The title is from Shakespeare's Titus Andronicus. For project-18. Credits: music by bf baker. source files: piano by Buzzsaw, field recording by Loopy Spiderz. bf baker: Nodebeat android app, bass synth, wood desk, tambourine.. Genre: Abstract. Created: 04 Feb 2012 01:45 PM. Plays: 71 -->please comment (1).


Blind Mime Ensemble
Metamorphosis (watching from another room) 05:15/256k
I recorded opening and closing an iron cage in an old slaughterhouse in downtown Salt Lake City. It's where I store GAJOOB submission material (it's been climatized). I found an ARP2600 app for Android that is extremely unpredictable so it's very well-suited to my tastes. Zebra Mann's bass loops have been wrung through various effects. Sources: BF Baker: field recording (iron cage), theMouth, ARP2600 app for Android, effects; Zebra Mann: bass loop; Telltaleweekly.org: Franz Kafka's The Metamorphosis. Credits: music by BF Baker, Project-18. Genre: Spoken Word. Created: 25 Dec 2011 09:30 AM. Plays: 70 -->please comment (2).


Blind Mime Ensemble

Blind Mime Ensemble
The Best Advice 06:01/192k
The best advice is usually banal. If you had the constitution to collect advice you'd find it full of catchphrases and bromides -- worthless pablum. Go team, go.

Checkin' Out the Fluxus (02:10)

58 hi-fi plays, 40 lofi plays, 148 downloads, 4 comments

I took one of the first fluxus fone contributions and built some loops and live improvised bass round it. My first time working with SoundHack came up with an interesting loop merging a strummed acoustic guitar with a vocal which repeats offset with the flute melody throughout the song. I also used Dan Richert's bent Casio loops, taking a few percussion hits and building the percussion track piece by piece together with a classic loop from longtime supporting tapegerm artist Mike McGary. The bloopy synth bass sounding element is me playing live improvised bass guitar through a Bass Pod effects box. Check out the fluxus!
