hi all this has taken me ages ... dog knows why ... ten years, in fact :) http://www.machinehasnoagenda.com/downloads/diggin_a_hole_-_final.ogg http://www.machinehasnoagenda.com/downloads/diggin_a_hole_-_final.mp3 first "verse" was written said ten years ago during a particularly scummy inner-city/amphetamine/paranoia period of my life ... second verse was just since i got it happening with linux audio (few months back) ... it used to be just the first verse and chorus, really ... since then i've dragged out the latent sonic youth-isms into the outro and given it some more interesting (i think) rhythmic melodies. i got this finished now so's i could rehearse it with the "band" on the weekend. i used hydrogen for the drums, and ardour to record all else (except that feedback you can hear floating over some of it - with two young kids around, i haven't found time or place to record pure feedback from my amp, so i got this from the Slayer 2 VST guitar plugin - it has astoundingly good feedback that you can control like well!). also, there's a bunch of ladspa plugins for reverb and tube preamp emulation on some parts (i've only just recently discovered the TAP Reverb Editor - wow, it rocks!) hope you all enjoy ... and now to check out the back issues of music made with linux :) shayne
