My friend had said something nice and I had the glow of self-satisfaction. Then this happened.
How I Made It
The time is a slow 3/4 way down around 50 BPM.
The bottom track is bottleneck guitar in tuning CGDGBD, played in a single pass. Then I created a track to double that original part. It’s hard to get doubling just right. Maybe you don’t even want to. If it’s too perfect you can’t really hear the double. In the end I was only able to get a close enough match on the C section, but that was fine because it gave the song a dynamic high point when the double comes in.
The two purely digital tracks come from sending that recorded audio into the audio-to-MIDI converter at ai-midi.com, then importing back into my DAW as a MIDI instrument. If the converter was more accurate the digital tracks would sit right on top of the recorded audio. Fortunately it’s nowhere near accurate. The version of the guitar part that it created is hallucinating AI at its best. I put that same MIDI on two different tracks, panned left and right, and selected very different instrumental voices.
Want to make your own thing out of this? I put all the stems plus the MIDI file into a tarball at playingintongues.com/misc/LadyGlowWorm-stems.tar.
Rough Draft
The original mix had some charm that’s worth hearing if only to compare with the final one. I’d be interested to hear whether you think the first one is better.
In the before days, I had a title without a song. Now there’s music but it’s in an early stage. Around 1:08 or 1:56 it needs a big new idea to take center stage and rattle on until about 2:52.
Do you want to do your own thing with it?
BPM 60, if you care about that kind of thing, and if a click track helps here’s an MP3 to play along to:
What you’d do with that is record your own track – with the exact same length – and send me a stem to mix in.
If what you’d need is full-resolution audio to sample, just ask.
Music by Jeremiah Chiu from an album called In Electric Time
¶This is not my music. I have nothing to do with the making of this.
¶A blog of your own music is better if you have other people’s music too. Otherwise the blog has completely inward flow, like a black hole.
See also the Bandcamp page for the album.
This is a song title without a song.
Maybe later I’ll make one. We’ll find out!
This is a blog post with a cliffhanger.
In music you feel the consciousness of the creators. You feel their presence. There’s no Turing Test happening.
