My wife Lora has an old CD-R of the Chemical Brothers of uncertain provenance. I think it is made up of recordings people made of various radio shows. In any case, on it there is a song that fits the description in this thread's title.
It stayed in the back of my mind as a vague inspiration. In the meantime, my bandmate Charles became obsessed with making ambient loops in real time, using a guitar and, well, this:
This rig feeds three different amps using a bewildering variety of A/B boxes and stereo outputs.
So he happened to make a loop that sounded just like a single propeller airplane going overhead at a fairly low altitude on a quiet afternoon.
These things happen.
And then he made some additional loops that went with the original loop. And then he wrote a very sparse song about an airplane that went with all of these sounds that was called:
Pilot Light
And then I got a hold of it.
Editing mayhem ensued.
The result:
The Airplane Song
