Here's my entry to the amazing Lioli 9 insanity.
It's really a medley of 3 different variations, composed almost entirely of Apple loops dredged out of the GarageBand basement and kicked around in various different voices. I noticed that the Dance loop almost always landed on a whistle voice, and with various layers and velocity settings, ended sounding like a chorus of crickets.
So now you know, partly, how the title came out.
The first medley uses the Dance Loop in layers of jazz drums and a piano, with a midi Bass guitar loop thumping away and mirrored in some horn voices among the crickets. Vaguely reminds me of the group War, for some reason.
Medley 2 has the loop in more layers of drums, with an assortment of bass guitar and synth loops bouncing around amid the sea of crickets buzzing away in your brain.
Medley 3 is my favourite, with an interesting bassline popping away amid the crickets and vaguely Latin drums, along with a melody line of horns that I penciled in while waiting for my pants to come out of the dryer. (I told you guys I record without pants. ) I like how it all sounds near the end, and its all the loop - only dropped into a piano voice, stripped of bass and pushed up into the tinkly zone. I'd like to explore this one some more.
Serious fun.
And the other part of the title? It put me in mind of Charlton Heston's Planet Of The Apes 'get your hands off me you damn dirty ape' quote..... only with crickets.
Good times. Good times.
Thanks to Chikoppi for launching this. I'll be a regular from here on in.
