JB asked about some things I’m putting together for Newnan School of Dance’s Spring Recital: soundscapes for a version of the Three Little Pigs. So I’ve rerecorded some as mp3s. Hope the playback works. Make sure your connection speed is at least 1mb/sec. And I’ve still had some stuttering playback problems, so I’ve had to re-try the links a few times before they would run uninterrupted. If anyone knows how to solve that, let me know.
I stole a recording of the original Disney/Frank Churchill version of “Who’s Afraid of the Big Bad Wolf,” which, along with a recording of part of the tune played on a whistle, was my only source material. I subjected those two samples to all manner of atrocities through Plogue Bidule and the TX Modular (two lovely shareware processing interfaces), recording my results with WireTapper (a grand must-have item). I then began to “arrange” some of those samples of digital manipulation with GarageBand. Yes, you will hear a few percussion loops not culled from the original material (fewer than you may think) and some midi sweetening, though even with that I tried to remain true to my “tone row.” The unarranged samples are also fun listening. Maybe I’ll post more in a day or two.
The NSD choreographers will listen to a bunch of tracks (I’m still assembling them) and make decisions about which bits fit what parts of the dance, etc.
Press the blue buttons for stutter-free playback.
If anyone can tell me why my QuickTime plug-in won’t play Pig 3, I’d be grateful. Yes, I’ve fiddled with connection speeds, etc.
If you have trouble clicking and getting playback, try “right clicking” and choose iTunes for playback if you can. Choosing Media Player should work, as should Real. It’s an mp3 file.
So until further notice, it’s best to save the files and play with mp3 player of your choice.
It will be interesting to compare the original wave files with these mp3 “reductions.” Ah, always the loss of detail…
We may need the plug-in I use over on my blog. Give me a sec.
It’s working now. At least for me.
For those who are curious, you might edit your post to link to the modules you used and Wiretapper.
Yes, if I press the little blue square, all is well. Thanks. And I will add those links.
