What I'm putting forward with this release is not just a finished product, instead I am giving an approach, a treatment, to some ideas. The way I did this was to lay down multiple vocal tracks down on a bed track. I mute the previous tracks each time I record a new one, so the accompaniment is done blind.
The bedtracks [karaoke version of the tracks] come from an archive I have developed in exploring computer generated music. In the late 90's, I started "tracking"- building mods (music/audio files) with trackers (editors). My first tracker was [FastTracker2]). I have been collecting some of the source files for this release here [source files]. These days I'm running Linux, so I use [SoundTracker] and [LMMS]. a well developed open Source tracker for Windows is [Open Modplug Tracker]. So try it out, grab one of these tracks and start tweaking, if you come up with something, drop me an email [wayne@webmadman.net] and let me know... ;-)

This opened the space for a layering of improvisation, creating a kind of "jam" feel. And I'd like the jam to continue. I have the bed tracks here: [karaoke version of the tracks]. I invite you to come and play along, make your own versions and mixes- lets stir it up a bit ;-)
Some factors have contributed greatly to the development of my voice lately. One of those factors has been Full Metal Booty . By pushing my voice on a weekly basis, I have been able to strengthen and open up my voice box in ways that has pleased and amazed me. Also be sure to jump over to the [Full Metal Booty folder] in my [sketchbin]. From the FMB project, I hooked up with Stuart for some weekly jam sessions refered to as Cheese Grater. Stuart graciously passed on his old [Korg Poly-61] to me which is how I made some of the samples for [Get Away with Murder] [source mod] and [Get Down and Low] [source mod]
To explain PostPop- like pretty much everyone that grew up in North America, I have pop culture imprinted on my subconscious, so the formatting of it is embedded, but I'm pushing in a completely different direction- not sampling or emulating it, but exploring my own direction while acknowledging/allowing it to influence my process (I don't exist in a vacuum), so it's got the feeling of pop/mainstream, but it's not very likely to get played on mainstream radio, but it's interesting enough to develop a specific (cult) following- people that are genuinely intrigued by what I'm doing, not just glomming on to it just because it's popular, and this is where it gets interesting, in that it draws together people that have a real common interest, not just a product that's been marketed to them. My interest in artistic development is to be a catalyst for culture. To create a draw for a particular commonality...
Yeah, whatever ;-) just go have a listen! :-)
