“The Sounds Around Me”
October 18th, 2009 | Published in Electronica, New Material | 2 Comments
Originally inspired by the amazing racket my new washer/dryer unit was making. I set out to make a piece using samples from around my immediate surroundings. Featured here are: sink (with dirty dishes) coffee carafe, coffee cup, garage door opener, airplane advertising for the Long Beach Marathon, stairs, bottles, and the Be-Bot app on the iphone takes a solo. I also play the drums live on Roland V-drums, recorded all the film on a flip video camera, and edited it all using ableton live 8 and iMovie. Making music using ready made sounds is hardly an original idea but this is my own unique take, blazing live drum n. bass style.

Dear Nigel,
This is wonderful ! I am reminded of the John Cages visit to the Rivers Seminar…
I am glad that we were really planting good seeds…!
My very best to you. Angel Ramon
