Since the ‘Nobody’s Listening’-podcast is hosted by pastor James, I figured it would be a good idea to get the Schnauzer Radio Orchestra a little blessing (you can never go wrong with that). I went ahead and made him a little tune to open up the podcast, and use it as a bed to talk over.
Basicly this whole operation was a one shot. One microphone, one preamp, one piano, etc. I almost didn’t have to leave my chair, bending over to do a one-hand organ part, reaching left to get my ukelele. I think I need to install a Wii-fit in the studio to get some excersize, or use 2 hands and 30 overdubs to record the shakers.
I just finished the official Comics Coast to Coast tune. CCtC is a weekly podcast by Brian Dunaway (missiondeep), Tom Racine (booksmart) and Justin Thompson (mythtickle) about … ehm… comics. That’s right, the three panel thingy’s you see in the paper and on the web.
Creating this tune required me to listen to a few episodes, and in one of them Brian used a party-whistle. I immediately sent my wife to the store to get me some, because I knew that, that was exactly the right angle for this thing. The rest is just whistling the theme over and over again, playing the kazoo, noseflute, programming drums, playing the organ, and loads of other stuff you don’t want to know. And there you go.
The Schnauzer Studios are trying desperately to pump out at least 1 tune each Monday.
Often they are in a raw state, but most of them will appear on a forthcoming album in some form.
Schnauzer went straight on air. Will post later with explanation. we had some fun ;)- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -3 hours ago
