"Hal McGee open loops???" you ask, perplexed as you hear none of the familar strains of the ethereal theremin. However, they are there, trust me, used almost exclusively to sculpt this sonic creation.
Taking Hal's theremin loops, I converted them to MIDI and opened the MIDI files in Fruity Loops and had some interesting fun with them in there, and layered the loops together.
Also present is my own voice, also translated into MIDI and further twisted with FL. It created a space language all it's own. Credits: Hal McGee Open Loops. Genre: Experimental. Created: 14 Oct 2005 11:48 PM. Plays: 581

Painless Suicide in Deep Dark Space 03:53/192k
This is not my first attempt at trying to do a cover song (you should hear some songs I mutilated on my early cassettes!) but this is the first one that turned out well enough that I thought others might want to hear it.

Blinded By the Stars 05:46/192k
Taking two guitar loops from Blind Mime, I put them on a homemade space shuttle and launched the shuttle into the deepest depths of the galaxy. When I got the first radio signals back, this is what I heard. Credits: blind mime open loops. Genre: Experimental. Created: 28 Sep 2005 10:45 PM. Plays: 520

Genre: Experimental
Credits: With loops by Cystem open loops, 24 Hour Flu, and Megascorpion guest artist
Album: Tapegerm Project
Label: Microscope Records
We All Turn This Way... "And the Octopus Optimus compellingly continues his yarn, again a masterful use of foreboding as the action spills out onto the Prinz Albrecht Strasse, fortunately when time to escape still very much remains. The is also a tenuous note of Potsdam in the backgrond, but I stray ahead. Labours magnificently accomplished, Thelonius." --buzzsaw (posted 09/24/05)
