This post is an entry in @juliakponspord's contest ART EXPLOSION. This week's theme is CONSPIRACY.
Check it out!
Conspiracies are awesome
and I'll tell you that I'm pretty sure that 8 or 9 foot tall, shape-shifting reptilian overlords (from Alpha Draconis) are impersonating world leaders to control the world's population like cattle and that yetis themselves pilot flying saucer like UFOs out of a hole in the antarctic (we're not allowed to go there, you know!!!) and that the world is actually flat but that it's also just a hologram, and we're actually all just AI, anyway.
ANYWAY.
Here is a song I put together in Fruity Loops. My process was pretty spontaneous. I thought about feeling paranoid, uncertain, helpless, and confused. I just chose sounds as I went. I tried to create a rhythm that I thought might sound somewhat counter-intuitive or unexpected but still structurally sound and comprehensible. I wanted it, if possible, to be somewhat hypnotic but also very uncomfortable. I added cool upper register scifi whirly sounds for good measure. They might be ray guns, they might be UFO tractor beams - it all depends on whether or not they put the blue liquid or the red liquid in your drinking water.
Enjoy! :)
