Facilitator.


 "Sometimes, even making shitty music is a lot of fun"

This track really goes to show how creating songs with Digital Workstations like Ableton can lead to some interesting outcomes. Initially, Emmet was messing around on my Midi keyboard while I loaded different midi effects through ableton. After coming up with a processed beat, several layers of random sounds were layered over the track.



Against all of our best intentions, the finished product ended up being a little pleasant to our ears, and we were sure that the sounds would fool at least a few people into thinking that all of this was intentional, and had some sort of meaning.
After labelling my role in the process as "Faciliator", we somehow decided that we should have a layer of processed" FACILITATOR IN THE HOUSE" vocals over it. I was able to copy and paste the original vocal and loop it across the song.



The finished product necessitated a music video, using whatever props were lying around (including the cheap PC mic that I had used to originally sketch ideas in ableton). At this point, there was no doubting that we had created a farcical parody of something, but we have yet to figure out exactly what this was inspired by. It all arose out of random accidents, facilitated by easily acquirable Digital Audio Workstations.
