BS Zebra Rage Challenge

[billstei]

Howard, i can't hear your patch, am i doing something wrong?

Nope. This is bottled up rage...
(only done for the looks!)

Okay you're both disqualified, but since Polybius only missed qualification by 25 missing modules and 16 missing effects, and it just sounds incredibly cool, I am letting this go with just a warning. Howard is reinstated for the sake of a new Zebra Rage sub-category "Colors Most Likely to Cause a Good or Bad Trip Depending".

I am finding this challenge too challenging for someone who is already stressed to the breaking point from the loss of the award. There must be better ways to express rage than to just pick up every piece of furniture in the room and throw it against the wall and then add some reverb. And the arp does nothing but cheer me up no matter what I feed into it. Polybius has helped me to see the power of focused minimalism. Perhaps a challenge like "Primal Scream" would make more sense, in which to qualify all tones must be swept upward at least 4 octaves before stabilizing, and must be dissonant at the resting point. Or maybe I should just get over it dude and move on with life.

Nice! I really like the droning humm between rage bursts!

It was a dark and stormy night. For some reason the FM radio on the kitchen counter would only produce static. "Odd..." I thought to myself, but I was too drunk to consider just how odd that really was. It was 4 AM and I couldn't sleep, so I fried some eggs. My dog snickered at me, like Dick Dastardly's dog Muttley, in his usual condescending tone. If I had been a little bit more sober I might have heard the sound of the approaching UFOs. I reached for the spatula but only managed to knock the empty wine bottle across the kitchen floor, as the sound echoed in my half hung-over head. "Damn you empty wine bottle! That's the last time you will ever roll across the floor at 4 AM while I'm trying to fry eggs!". I pulled out my handgun and took a few shots in the direction of where the bottle was only a split second before. "I was going to replace that linoleum anyway", I thought to myself. Suddenly the entire kitchen turned an iridescent green color and I felt something lift me up and out the window. "Odd..." I thought to myself, "I don't recall ever having been pulled out the window at 4 AM while I was trying to fry eggs, but I suppose there is a first time for everything." I found myself seated at a desk in front of a monitor, which displayed two sets of rectangular boxes, with a smaller set of boxes in the middle. Clicking one of the smaller boxes made one of the larger boxes highlighted. All the knobs on the boxes had been set to extreme minimum or maximum values, as if someone were only trying to make the display more colorful, instead trying to get practical useful results from the knobs. I pushed on the controls in front of me and an ear piercing sound filled the room. I must have startled the owner with my odd sense of melody, because I could hear footsteps outside running away from the room. "I'll just make a few more sounds with this thing, and then investigate who that was." Eventually I got up and went down the hall to what looked like an operating room. On the table I saw a gruesome experiment gone horribly wrong. It was the body of a Zebra, but the head was that of a man. I asked him, "Do you have a name? He replied, "Well of course I have a name, it'd be pretty silly to just be laying here thinking of patches and sciencey things like that, without a name. He said the name, Gewoyo, Gayowe, Guwoyee, but it was too difficult for me to say the letter G followed immediately by W, without at least one more vowel, even though Y is sometimes a vowel, depending. Trying to comprehend difficult pronunciations this late at night, or early in the morning, was more than I could take. I fell backward and hit my head on the handrail, which had been installed for someone's safety, but not mine. I was out cold, and I dreamed about frying eggs.

Repeat after me: "goo-eye-oh"...then make the "oo" as short as possible

OMG it wasn't a dream after all! Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!

(slightly off topic: Today's experiments with Zebrify come extremely close to the examples posted here... especially when using a drum loop as a modulator for an FMO... strange stuff...)

A new sum experiment gone adorably right.

Hahahaha... Respect!

I was trying to get a Primal Scream and ended up with more of a Paramedic Screening. Use C1 for normal emergencies, higher for a more science fictiony crisis. I know I broke all the rules but I'm the Thread Author, and the Thread Author can do that.

I submit this, which is in fact every synth grid and FX grid module used once and only once, across a few instances of Zebra. It's a cover of a tune that really speaks to the rage Billstei is expressing; there are rules, sometimes you wish things worked out a little different but you know stick with someone or something, never give it up, things will work out.

Each Uhbik was used once as well.
