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.)

Any reference to ‘the Simpsons’ and/or Danny Elfman is pure intentional and I’ll take that as a compliment. Thank you very much.

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.

Some people just turn everything I do into a ringtone

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…

Just posted my first audioboo.

Audioboo.com is an audio-blogging tool which integrates perfectly with the iPhone…. Gone is all the studio-equipment . just one single microphone embedded in an apple phone can make you world famous! More strangeness coming to the schnauzerstudios.

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.
