Electro-Spike 1359 plays of 2 songs --> tapegerm home 
Hi. I'm Rev. Spike Beasley; singer, songwriter, multi-instrumentalist, vinyl collector and karaoke-addict. I'm also a cartoonist. I like the weird and unusual, the humorous.

I recorded for years on my 4-track and lately have been TRYING to better understand Acid 4.0. It seems simple enough, but I still have no clue how to make my own loops, or to affect the loops I do have (stretching, inverting, effects) so any help on this would be greatly appreciated!

Less dance, less ambient, more humor.

Electro-Spike Top 10 This Week : -467- Taxday '06 (tapegerm1) (2) -579- Nimrod (tapegerm 2) (1)

TRACK LISTING ( play all hifi ) | ( play all lofi )

Taxday '06 (tapegerm1)
778 plays
02:05
Genre: Abstract
Album: Baby Steps in Acid

Well - I finally discovered how to cut at indicated point and to change pitch up or down in 1/2 step increments using Acid 4.0.
Though this is basicly unfinished, it is still fun to listen to.

Includes these Tapegerm loops: "guit6" from Hebephrenic, "HInc -FLP12 - Trumpet2" from Heuristics Inc., "intgarb _ waltz1 _ TAPEGERM1p12" from International Garbagemen, "oo19oo + Omnitech - TGC + DML + LP12 = 2005" from Omnitechnomatrix, "vf _ tg12 _ eternalstorm _ 02 _ 120bpm" from Virus Factory and other loops from other royalty free loop sites.

Nimrod (tapegerm 2)
581 plays
01:48
Genre: So Far Off The Wall It's Down The Street
Album: Baby Steps in Acid

I changed melodies in five Blind Mime Free Loop Project 14 loops
(flute-1m1, guitar10-em, sizzlelead-em1, guitar2-em and guitar5-em) and used synthesized voice from the "AT&T Natural Voices Text-to-Speech Engine demo" page, here to indulge my weird sense-of-humor. I also used 3 loops from Loop Galaxy (drumkit, bongos and applause). Credits: Electrospike: loop manipulations, words. Blind Mime: five Free Loop Project 014 loops, 3 loops from Loop Galaxy, AT&T Natural Voices Text-to-Speech Engine demo.
