Ok - here's some stuff I did a while back under the name "The Robot Child" (with my partner in crime Stringfellow Hawk)
I really am throwing down the gauntlet with this one..... the track was constructed entirely from sampled sounds made from a single beer can......
So yeah, the challenge is to take a household object and make some music......
You are allowed to do anything to this object to make a sound and manipulate it in any way you desire (digital and/or analogue) - but you must only use that single object for all the parts/instruments.....
Bring it on !

Really like the elegant simplicity here. Has a touch of the Tortoise about it with all the warm wood, but then who really knows where electronica ends and post-rock begins? ... answers on a postcard to: Pseuds Corner, Da Cabron Lodge.

Re: Melody notes from a beer can.
Well, it's kind of giving away tricks innit?
But y'know...... we're all friends here right.....
Deadly simple - kinda.....
a tiny stereo mic popped down inside the can - then I think we just tapped the outside with a screwdriver or something metal and had recording level right up so mic picked up reverberation inside.... put it into a simple sampling/looping program (I'm pretty sure most of this was done with Fruityloops...) and pitch your false note around on a keyboard.....

Ps - Loving the Aphex stylings on your Meatroll.......

interesting. i like the idea of making a track with an inanimate object.
i'm trying to write a song with sounds from my kitchen, things like the door hinges and glass jars make good sounds.
keep up the experimenting.

Impossible to see on live session I guess... Anyway: a really great track. Did u really use just a can of beer? That's really impressive.
