The Drunken Blues

by Corin Greaves

Using the 'human' approach

A short piece displaying two techniques that I regularly use in my music.

The first is the use of irregular quantize values on the recorder module to produce a more 'human' out-of-time feeling.

The second is the use of changing instruments on one voice for percussion to save channels for tuned sounds. This can lead to 'fatter' music, though it is quite processor-intensive. Part2a is a good example of this.

Also used are some new percussion sounds, including a beefier bass drum.
