I'd wager "a little bit of both".

Nah. Banjos after sunset.

Ah yeah. Now this is the nice relaxed kind of vendetta I can handle.

Well, you can rumble to a rumba, or tussle to a two-step or you can cha-cha to a samba!

You can also twist & shout and mash a potato!

Or maybe you can bugaloo to the watusi or even Do The Freddy

Patrick9/Konversation... But the voices are what I'll remember. I'm keen to hear the story behind it all.

Thanks - I'm not a dance person so I guess this is an amalgam that sort of felt right to me as a groove (don't ask me about sub genres).
Here's the story,

I was playing with my competition edit while downloading the rsmus7 video of The Garden Party. Suddenly the sound from the download started up in the middle of my track and I thought - Yes! Serendipity!

Sooo.. if you were in the vid, you're on the choon.

Many thanks for the review Barnadine.

It actually isn't any longer than that, but I didn't even think of an ending when I saw it stop at exactly 02:00. Being too happy about that, and having it loop in the tracker (Renoise) for a while, I had my sinister thought of the day and just wrapped it together. But I think it would've been nicer with an ending and more identifiable beginning.

Congrats Barnadine! Madness of King George indeed! I still haven't figured out what the prize is for solving these things, but - if there ever is one you should get it. I made the picture using Tyler, an old bit of freeware I found a long time ago. You can download the complete mosaic by clicking the picture above. [367 k]

Tyler is cool!
Thanks. My son loves it already.

Yeah, thanks for the app. Been looking for something like that for a while...

Thanks. It just wouldn't be all that fun to do more of the same. This took me quite a few hours to complete but I had a lot of fun trying something so radically different.

Barnadine wrote:If anything, things blend together too well. Rather than any of the elements holding the attention, it all combines into something which, though enjoyable, is somehow less distinctive than you'd expect from all the ingredients.

Yeah, I tend to do that... Sometimes less is more, but I keep overcomplicating things... I'll remember that.

Barnadine wrote:Now, if it was a little glitchier, or a little funkier... I know you weren't aiming for 'intense' this month, but I wouldn't have minded a harder edge to the beats, or just some small craziness in there somewhere.

It's frustrating, actually... It took me a lot of discipline to avoid those things and now I'm told they would be good. I purposedly EQ'ed everything to make it more laidback. The drums were originally a lot harder and they would be great in harder kinds of music, but I felt they would be out of place here. I was probably wrong. I did add craziness, in the little break at 0:58. It was originally full of glitches but I removed most of them to keep it laidback. I spent a lot of precious time ruining my song

Barnadine wrote:But now I think about it: a mellow, well-behaved song from Katanaman - that's crazy enough by itself.

Wow, thanks! It's always good to know I'm someone around here.

It was definitely a challenge. For some reason, my ears never settle for anything other than ear splitting white noise when I start making music.
