Today I’ve uploaded the latest track for my “Excursions into Chaos” album. This is an electronic album created on the Kaossilator Pro. All the music is played live, in one take – no multi-track editing. This piece is called “Mohawks and Animal Hats,” referring to events of the past week. It features a trip-hop-like beat, two separate bass lines, and a synth pad as background loops. Over this I alternate leads between a distorted guitar sound and a phased chorus sound. I originally planned to only have a drop at the beginning, but, as the song progressed, I worked in two more drops. I like the effect of the first time the beat stops. The song is marching along steadily, and then it’s like tripping and falling.

Now my only problem is how to get the audio into a Facebook news feed. The old music app, which would place a play button in the news feed, no longer works. The only option seems to be adding the music to a video file, and uploading that. However, I don’t want to just upload a blank video or a slideshow video, so I may need to do some downloading of videos and build a montage. That’s a lot of work just to get a song online.
