Thank you.

Lederhosen by CAC-War Kitty
I have been in a rather giddy mood and I think it shows in this beat/loop.  I once again used a short sample from the Rocky & Bullwinkle cartoon show as the starting point for the sound design.  There you have it.

Ran accross this on Ted: Iqbal Quadir: The power of the mobile phone to end poverty… here’s the link.
It’s a few years [...]

This is the Korg NanoKey. I played one last night and I am stoked.  It’s just about as long as my laptop and the keys are velocity sensitive. You’ve got 25 keys and you can ‘octave up/octave down’, change the velocity curve, pitch bend, and modulate. USB only, no driver needed. Also has mapping function.

Rocky – The Beat by CAC-War Kitty
This is a little beat/loop that I created using a short sample from a Rocky & Bullwinkle cartoon.  Yeah, it’s the child in me.  All the sounds created here were designed from the same cartoon clip.
Enjoy the squirrel and moose.
Now that’s fine dinning.

Here’s what Brian Eno said:
“I have heard the sound of the future,” said Brian Eno when he heard [...]

Bling is cool for some, but I’m a shorts and t-shirt kind of rider.  I don’t have any [...]

As a Vietnam Veteran and the proud son of a great WWII Veteran, I take this moment on Veterans Day to salute all the fine men and woman who have given, and continue to give, all for our country.
Thank you.

SvibVocal Beat by CAC-War Kitty
This beat/loop is more of a funky, tricked out, high steppin’ sort of thing. Yup, it’s got it going on.  All the sounds were made from a sample of 3 guys singing a Serbian folk song.  Go figure.
Have fun.
