I have far too many samples for my own good gained from sample CDs, downloads, samples from all the EJAYs and many from ACID, all from a period around 1997-2000 when I was involved with a small multimedia company. Last week I set up 100 bars in A to play with them in BIAB, 112 tempo by an accident of me not paying attention, and lost track of time. Computer time goes so much quicker than normal time doesn't. I am glad have a timer on my screen to turn off at 4 hours to force me back to reality. I cancelled this too often tho' So I was just messin' seeing what I could do with loops in BIAB and started with the Blues Rock Real Drum. So, many long days later of adding to and then extracting from the loop folder I had an idea. The 1st verse suddenly appeared and BAM it went down hill from there  (It would be nice to be able to point to my loops folder so that rigmarole doesn't exist!) It took my mind of the mess I call my life. Blow that horn,Blue! Mary had a little lamb full of fun and frolics she threw him up in the air and caught him by his tail Jack and Jill went uo a hill to fetch a pale of water Jill came down with half a crown but not for fetching water humpty dumpty sat on a wall humpty dumpty had a great fall all the kings horses and all the kings men had a very nice omelette, thank you Humpty Mary had a little lamb and a little duck she put them on the mantel piece to see if they would fall off little miss muffet sat on a tuffet eating her curds and whey it wasn't the spider that sat done beside her but little boy blue with his horn blow that horn blue RealTracks in song: 1216:Vibes, Rhythm Bossa Ev 140 RealTracks in song: 598:Guitar, Acoustic, Strumming Bluegrass Doc Ev 100 RealTracks in song: 2582:Synth, Rhythm MutedMelody Ev16 120 lightspeed loop in BIAB eurogate loop in BIAB RealTracks in song: 1939:Synth, Rhythm, EuroDance Stab7HitA-B Ev16 120 RealDrums in Song: BluesRockEv^1-a:Snare, HiHat , b:Snare, Open HiHat Acid beat loop, head14 loop, density cluster loop added in BIAB and dragged and dropped.I rejected many other loops. claps and extra bossa snare ****************** 2 bars of a BIAB bass and eventually made into a loop with a bass sample I forget which style, I played with so many then to Cubase and me on synth lead, with lotsa pitch bend, with brass from a brass soundfont loaded in FL Studio laugh sample Half a crown is old British money pre 1971 enjoy Alyn ps I'll go and take the tablets and lie down in a darkened room now

Alyn, Little boy just blew me away. Let's take a look at all the things that are "wrong" here. Basically just one chord, lyrics that don't rhyme , long,long intro, half sung half spoken word, some off color coloring if you will, a kind of telephone effect on the vocal. Take all that and throw it in the Gibsonator along with some great synth playing and a dash of Monty Python and other barely contained insanity and you have a modern adult nursery rhyme. And above all else it is utterly and completely RIGHT. Hats off, Tom

It took me a couple of listens through to realize that the places where it doesn't rhyme, COULD rhyme if only I'd substitute another word that was judiciously left out... (very clever you ol' DAWG you!) Let's see.. what rhymes with "frolics?" ;-) Or "duck?" Alyn... you always amaze me. The stuff you come up with, in anybody else's project, could easily fall flat on its face. But YOU make it entertaining almost beyond belief! You really have a magical touch that turns chaos into applause! This made me think of Peter Gabriel, by the way. (One of my favorites. )

Wow, this is hilarious! For some reason I kept thinking of the Two Ronnies from English tv;( maybe its those those risky unrhymes) but with way better music... thanks for giving me the best laugh of the day!

Hi Alyn.
Great to see your name up on the list again!
I don't suppose anyone outside the UK, or anyone too young for that matter, will have heard of Frankie Howard, but maybe you remember "Up Pompeii" and the poetry of Nausius and all those suggested rhymes.
This is a fabulous piece of.... stuck for words here! That is to say, it's brilliant and it made me laugh.
Keep posting my old pal.
ROG.

Alyn, this is SO well done! A LaughOutLoud write. Awesome production. Terrific mix.
GREAT use of loops... everything fits together so well. Seamless.
Your vocals on these (type things) are perfect!
Entertaining. First note to last.
Spectacular!

Like fj said seamless and entertaining from the intro through the outro. Wow! J&B

Welcome back Alyn!! Been missing you around here. Very cool track!! I love the driving music and dark-edged lyrics. You have such a creative and unique way of creating, and the tracks never sound generic. Love the change at the end-very unusual. This is a real treat!! Welcome back and stick around! Take care. Greg

Hats off, Tom I like "The Gibsonator"  A modern adult nursery rhyme.... excellent, but definitely not for children LOL "Tomorrow never knows" by the Beatles was one chord by the way So glad you eventually enjoyed it  wonderful comment, absolutely wonderful HAHA Alyn

Thanks you Pat, coming from an imaginative person as yourself that is praise indeed. Aah Peter Gabriel, my favourite also, solo and with Genesis thanks Pat Alyn

I have no idea why I like this song It's very hypnotizing soul with very creative use of BIAB and samples. Really worth the time you spent on the computer I would say Janne

Yes! It is good to have you back!
I sure know EJay, I had all their releases a couple of years ago ( but sold them for way too little money, in retrospective).
Again this song shows your unique talent, innovative as only you can be!
Please feel free to post some more ;-)
