a FAQ for ariel\\\'s dogs

GORDON FAQ:

q: where does gordon like to poop?

a: he is very picky about where he likes to poop. he tends to choose a different area everytime, about a mile away from the house on a walk. sometimes the person walking gordon will be able to suggest spots for him. bear in mind there is no template for a good spot-sometimes the area is grassy, sometimes he like to poop in a bush. mostly, he likes the poop to be out of the way. we think this comes from when he was a young puppy, and the people at the farm where he used to live would throw things at the giant pack of rotweiler puppies when they started to poop somewhere where they could see.

q: why does gordon act like he\\\'s been abused?

a: we\\\'ve been trying to figure that one out forever. ariel\\\'s had him since he was 6 weeks old, and she doesn\\\'t hit animals. probably it has something to do with him being a runt in the litter-all his brothers were big dopey rots, and he has a more slender lab appearance, so he probably got his share of beatings in the womb. he\\\'s mercurial.

q: why does gordon \\"do bitings\\"?

a: we think that\\\'s his nervous response to everything. although, it may have its root from when ariel was in college, living with a bunch of dirty hippies with fleas.

q: why does gordon get \\"stinkface\\"?

a: he likes to diguise himself from bigger dogs. he thinks \\"i\\\'ll just smell like a nice dead bird and nobody\\\'ll know i\\\'m here\\".

q: what are some ways to address gordon?

a: \\"best boy\\" sometimes pronounced \\"bist buwey\\" as in \\"he IS bist buueey\\". \\"speak boy,\\" \\"stink face,\\" \\"peanutbutter eyebrows,\\" \\"dancing peanutbutter,\\" \\"puppycakes,\\" \\"best swimming boy,\\" and \\"a real best boy\\" are also acceptable.

q: why does \\"his lip get all messed up\\"?

a: sometimes, when he\\\'s very focused, like on \\"some fishes\\" or a nice work of art, he\\\'ll close his mouth carelessly and get a hanglip.

q: what are some of the grammamtical subtleties i need to know to communicate with gordon?

a: he can spell, but only a few words like \\"w-a-l-k\\" and \\"l-e-a-s-h\\". also, present tense and third person are usually prefered such as \\"gordon goes to the puppy park\\" and \\"gordon wants a treat\\". however, the grammar is always in dispute.

q: what kinds of music does gordon like?

a: the more off-the-wall, the better. he especially likes conlon nancarrow and karlheinz stockhausen. seriously.

OLIVER FAQ:

a: because he has no soul.

q: why doesn\\\'t he have a soul?

a: because he\\\'s so goddamn cute.

q: is he a girl? is he a miniature lassie? OMF HE\\\'S SOOOO CUTE

a: no, kind of, he\\\'s the devil.

q: where does oliver like to poop?

a: in the same spot in the neighbor\\\'s ivy every day.

q: why does he get up all indignant when i sit next to him?

a: because he\\\'s a little bastard.

q: what kinds of music does oliver like?

a: pop music, like kelly clarkson and ashlee simpson.

q: can i pet him?

a: you can try.

q: is he really that cute?

a: you\\\'d want to drop an anvil on him.

so this happened because the first song i made to deantoni's drum part sucked ass, and folks let me know.

and then i remembered that shostakovich made some preludes and fugues, and i happily started to make this. then i heard the actual shostakovich fugues and got very very depressed.

listened again tonight and liked it again so here tis. rough like anal sex with a black bear.

sorry about the pic.

Wasn't it very popular in the 70ies to make disco versions of popular classical tunes? This reminds me of that sort of music, but without the catchy melodies. This is pretty chromatic. Skillfull work indeed. And I love the preludes and fugues by shostakovich!
jeebus.
that just blew my brain out first thing in the morning.
your skills duly impress, mr. astroid. tres interesant.
thanks for sharing. and ew to the pic

peace
astroid, what piano emulator are you using?

oh and leonid, check out the clockwork orange soundtrack - it's awesome. wendy carlos is a funny character too

transvestite synth mania!
I guess my teeth arent so bad, lol. Great panio movement.
I second the paino emulator/sampler question. I've often found myself
in a room starring at the wall thinking, "what fucking software does he use
for like orchestral/painos/synths, its always astep above most everything
I'm hearing on-line. Cool man.

that was totally bitchin', from song title to the last note and every point in between
those intro beat fills and some other of the beats sound
like Billy Cobham, and if that paino was a distorted guitar
I would have thought it was Mahavishnu, awesome.

my head asplode
i think i dont know yet.
like the piece, love the drumming, don't like the piano sound. Anyway, amazing ideas, when this duo??? :-)
lol

it's the "gigapiano" that comes with gigastudio. it's the shit.

i'm still having some problems with this- the drums are rad, and well, i like the "fugue," but they clash. don't quite know what to do. oh well.
i c an b a are ely hear the drumbs!

that piano is way to MID heavy.
that image is strangely familiar to me
jdg said: "i c an b a are ely hear the drumbs!

i know! i know!
i crushed it up in the mids so i could hear the notes. too many notes. i like it having too many notes, but how do i hear them all? the drums, conversely, aren't crushed.
i think i'm gonna try sidechaining the piano compression to the drums. and make it not so midrangey. what would you do, john? besides play less notes. i think i know, actually. i'm gonna have to go in and micromix the whole thing-split up the piano midi and ride faders on the drum elements.

thanks everyone for listening and commenting.

i know it's very much "pastiche". can't help it. this is kind of exactly the type of thing i want to hear. like wendy carlos style bach things, but made from scratch.
your first released tune with live 6? looking forward to listen to, sadly on 56k atm with little patience, but going to check it out asap i grab a faster connection somewhere.
cheers
