CAC – The War Kitty Chronicles

.

It’s pretty funny what you end up writing songs about… but, this kind of went down this way:

Woke up Sunday morning
With a song inside my brain
Jumped into some boxers
And banged it out again

I was done before I started
It all went so fast
Sang it out for hours
Yup, I had a blast…

In the end – just a silly little pop song.

All together now…

This song statred out as just a beat I was playing with. Then I added a bass line and that was all she wrote. The overdrive of the synth and the guitar adds to the hard edge and immediacy of the song. The words came last.

Enjoy…

Video I made for my song : Sometimes (It’s All About The Sex).

I did because I could…

I told the gang over at Facebook that I would post something ‘unplugged’… so here it is: a song I wrote called ‘Little To Crazy’.

It’s about as raw as it’s gonna get. A mic in my office, a guy, a guitar and a beatbox. The closest thing to sitting in the room with me… ha, whatever.

Enjoy…

This is my sound poem that I did for John & Yoko…

Imagine…

This is a bit of experimental stuff… a mindscape that I created using the sounds within a single sample.

The sample I used was the sound of a toilet flushing. I used this because the sample contains a wide range and variety of sonic possibilities.

I used Ableton and the Simpler sample player there. Once the sample is loaded the fun begins. You can dissect the wave form into a whole bunch or parts, loop them, transpose them, modify and manipulate, play them from your keyboard, add filters and LFO’s… the options are endless it would seem.

Then you just put them together in a composition… my visual for this was the Praying Mantis.

I love to play with sound.

I wrote this song Friday and finished it Saturday. I had fun playing with the rhythm and creating the textures.

Tell Me — My latest song, an original… just me and my laptop.

It was on this date in 1867 that Canada was officially born.

My grandmother was Canadian.

Cheers!
