A LOT OF WORK
|
|
This is here simply because it took up so much time and effort
during A-Level Music Technology that I thought I would force it
upon you. Excuse it's robotic-ness, it was played from music by
a computer (and computers aren't very good at being human) but
you get the general idea. Overall, it took around a year off-and-on
to compose, and originally it was four separate pieces all consisting
of around two minutes each. So there you go.

DEATH TO THY DADDY
|
When we were given our 'Arrangement' paper for A-Level Music Technology,
you had three different pieces of music to choose from - a boring piece
which I can't remember the name of, 'It Don't Mean a Thing' and
'Dance to thy Daddy'.
Somebody dared me to create a death-metal version
of this song - and so I did. I didn't spend too much time on it, and I
never plucked up the courage to hand it in.

EVERYBODDY'S BUSINESS
|
Once I had gained a reputation for creating 'character pop-songs'
it was inevitable that Mr Boddy, one of my A-Level Business Studies
teachers was going to experience the honour of having his voice and
favourite catch-phrases sampled, forming the basis of a new hit.
Mr Boddy's keenness for parties with lashings of lemonade and ice-cream
inspired me when producing this track, and he was very co-operative during
the recording as he decided to position himself directly above the microphone,
making his voice crystal clear and very comprehensible (although, isn't it always?)
When hearing this for the first time (after the rest of my business studies group
'grassed me up') his response was "God, do I really sound that bad?" and "Oh It's
quite good isn't it!?" Thanks for being such a good sport, Mr Boddy!

ONE CURVE
|
|
This never really matched 'Everyboddy's Business' - probably
because the samples aren't as good (as I said previously,
Mr Boddy decided to position himself directly over the microphone -
Miss Jennings did not). But, I still created it so as Miss Jennings
would not feel left out. She said that she doesn't want one created
after hearing Mr Boddy's - but she also said 'It better be good'.
Thank-you also for being such a good sport!

ALL I'M LOOKING FOR (The original)
|
|
Well, this was never released on the CD, mainly due to the fact that SOME people
considered it to be rude. I can't think why, Miss Jennings was only demanding
ONE CURVE - what else could it it be?

THE MR. COLE SONG
|
This is the most recent one that I did - and I did it because my Music Technology
teacher decided that he felt 'left-out' because I had not created a track with samples
obtained from one of his lessons. So I found some on a minidisc from an old recording
session and made this.
I was originally just going to give him a copy and then leave it - but when I did he
said to me "I'm sure sure whether I want to play it to anyone else". Sorry, but if you
wanted it made Mr Cole, you're gonna get it played!
