Post an audioboo with the title “Stylophone through octaver through ringmod through space echo = instant rockband” (recorded with an iphone)

Get Marco Raaphorst to steal it and remix it, and post it on his blog “melodiefabriek”

Re-stole the mp3 from Marco’s blog and re-re-mixed it. This time stretching it 800% Justin Bieber style. The result is a 13 minute giant robot bee factory, not unfitting as a soundtrack for “Texas Chainsaw Massacre part XXIV”. The truly demented part starts at 1:22. That’s the bit where the mutated cyborg giants start to drag the bee corpses back to their factory.

And all that noise coming from a single stylophone…

What does one do when cartoonist Len Peralta (we all know from his awesome Monster By Mail project) cries out for help, and practically falls on his knees for a piece of original audio?
That’s right, you let him beg some more, make him bark a little, then get to work.

Geek a Week is a project where Len interviews one geek a week and draws an additional playing card about that person. You can read all about it and listen to the podcast right here.

Long story short: I did the opening- and closing music and you can listen to a short version here.

Geek-a-week 0:48 – Schnauzer Radio Orchestra

I love short tunes. This is an 8-bar tune. just repeated over and over and over and over…. Perfect for a tuesday morning.

R.I.P ExtraLifeRadio, Hello Current Geek Weekly!

ELR was all about nerdy stuff  like videogames, books, crappy movies, and more. Most of those segments have got their own show nowadays like Filmsack for crappy movies, The Instance for Warcraft, Appslappy for iPhone apps, and now there is Current Geek Weekly, covering the rest.

O.K. I didn’t post this to sum up all the podcast I listen to,  I posted this because I did the tune. Click below to listen to the show.

What is Christmas without a SuperNES, a Stylophone, a Wurlitzer and an all girls 60s choir? Nothing, I tell you!
Since I’m breaking a few laws with this one I am not telling who are the singers nanana.
Also it is unclear where the sampling stops and where the true schnauzer-sauce is starting. I’m just telling you can leave out the ladies and still a full track is playing for your little bear-dance. (If I’m ever planning to release this legally I would have to, don’t you just love copyright law?)
This track is sort of a new years resolution. The resolution is: A whole lot more like this to come!

Anyhow, wishing you all a Happy Christmas!

(do with this track as you please. Blog about it, remix it, give it away to your worst enemies, or just do a little nerdy dance to it.)

It’s been 25 years since This is Spinal Tap was released. The most quoted ROCKumentary in any tour-van traveling around the globe.
Two years ago I overheard Coverville’s super D.J. Brian Ibbott’s wish to release a Spinal Tap tribute album. In fact, since he is one of the nicest guys in the entire Internet I decided to come along. At this date the first 5 covers are in his mailbox, and the Schnauzer Radio Orchestra contribution is one of them! The original song can be viewed here.
Below is a sneak peak of my version. For the full version some patience is required, but the production of the album is in full swing.

Did a quick rendition on my Fender Rhodes of the Dr.Who theme. I always wanted to do something with this, it might end up in a normal big project, who knows. I Fed the Rhodes straight into a Roland re201 Space Echo. No processing was done afterwards.

Nothing beats tape, NOTHING! *insert frantic laughter*

Another piece done by the Schnauzer Electro Orchestra. At this stage I can’t tell what it’s for, but it’s coming to an iPod near you soon.I will be updating this post as more info is available.

Here’s my vision of 1960′s Kirk soaring through Hyperspace while a 2030′s dance party is being held in the holo-deck… (yes I mixed TOS with TNG in one sentence, I had to feed the inner geek).

Update: There isn’t a single Start Trek sample nor any ST-related stuff in this trek.. ehm track. The ST universe was taken as a way of inspiration for it.

Update 2:  The music was made especially for a show called ‘Fourcast’ Click picture to read more.

The question still remains; can Scott Fletcher speak dutch?

Over this past weekend I was in need of a voice talent badly AND with a killing deadline. I recorded the lines and sent them over to Scott so he could copy my dutch words. within 24 hours I got a sample back, with a remark at the end: “Wow! I have no idea if ANY of that is useful!”

It was, and like I stated before, a voice like that makes 99% of the promo. I just had to compose a 20 second suite under that and presto! Now Rotterdam knows they got a free jazzfestival coming up. And I’ve just made the fasted collaboration ever. (also one of my favourite DJ’s is spinning there: DJ Blue Flamingo, who spins only rare 78rpm records), now if you’ll excuse me I’ve got some sleep to catch up…
