【ADLIB】12

今回、三木俊雄率いるFrontpage Orchestraと、あのSouliveとのセッションを中心にレコーディングされている。

”今回のアルバムを作るにあたって、いろいろなジャズのアルバムを聴いたんですけど、 Frontpage Orchestraの作品もその中にあって、それで気に入ってお願いしたんです。Souliveに関しては、元々はスタッフのアイディアだったんですけど、R&Bとジャズがちょうどいい具合いにミックスされたグループだし、私の立ち位置的にもピッタリ来るグループなんじゃないかと思いましたね。迫力もありますし、とてもいい方たちでした(笑)。大野雄二さんも、最初にライヴを観させていただいたんですけど、この人にはパッションがあるなと感じました。音楽を作る上で、パッションはすごく大事だと思うんですけど、それが感じられる人っ��、そうそういないじゃないで すか。ご本人はすごく気さくというか、堅苦しくなくて、��にとらわれなくて、自由な感じがすごく素敵ですね”

今回ジャズを歌って、彼女自身新たな発見などはあったのだろうか。

”これまで私の音楽は、トラックをひとつひとつ作り上げていくというものなので。ライヴー発で録るというのはとても新鮮だし、緊張しました。中には一緒に歌っ た仮歌でOKになっているものもあります。みんなの高揚感とかは、機械では絶対に出ないだろうと思いますね。多少音とかが外れてても、人間の生々しさを直に感じることができて、やっぱりジャズは、ライヴなんだなということが、今回あらためてわかりました。有機的だな、と。今回のアルバムを聴いても、すごくライヴ感 出ていると思います”

このアルバムは、まさにDOUBLEの新しい魅力が引き出させた意欲作だといえるだろう。

”今回はコーラスも少ないし、リード1本で聴かせる良さ、というのが出ていると思います。 オリジナル・アルバムでは、プロデューサーとしての視点で見ることも多いんですけど、今回はシン ガーとして、楽しく歌えました。だからリスナーの人も、あまり先入観を持たずに聴いてほしいですね。すごく聴きやすいアルバム になっていると思うので、ジャズのことをあまり知らない人にも、その入門的なアルバムになればいいなと思います”

My next piece will feature a YM3812 cover of Miklós Rózsa's "Palace Music" from his Soundtrack for El Cid (1961).

Monster Bash from Apogee

A wonderfully gory and action packed EGA platformer from 1993 created from Frank Maddin, who would later go on to work at Nintendo on the Metroid Prime games

I grew up playing the shareware chapter on Compaq EGA 286 machine which although meets the system requirements, the game is almost unplayable on a later cave level with the FPS dropping to 1 frame every few seconds at some points...

Anyway, I'm going to install this on my newer ICL 386 VGA machine with the added bonus of an Adlib card for music!

I do miss those old ASCII based installers and watching the decompression happen. Plus check out that beautiful ASCII Apogee logic, fantastic work there!

So what's the game actually like to play?

Your character must free all of the trapped animals before you can exit the level by firing your catapult at the cages to break the locks.

By default you've got unlimited ammo, but you can also upgrade to bigger & multi-shot along with homing sticks.

Thankfully it's not a one hit kill like Keen, so you can take a few knocks before you lose a life.

All the sound effects play through the PC Speaker, which I remember from playing it as a kid. Which leaves the Adlib for playing music at certain points, which I always find a bit strange as it means I've got sounds coming out of two separate speakers on my PC.

Each level is also littered with these funny little skulls. If you hit one you'll be treated to an animation of their eyeballs popping out their sockets as they fly off the screen! Wonderful!

I spent a lot of time with this one as a kid and I'm looking forward to enjoying another play through again now. Thanks Frank

Gremlin Graphics with Neil Biggin - PA175

An amazing and very entertaining chat with @BigginNeil on his career in game audio. Gremlin Graphics with Neil Biggin - PA175

Today we’re joined by industry legend Neil Biggin in an absolutely massive show! Neil regales us with hilarious stories as we cover a wide range of his electronic music during his time at Gremlin Graphics from about 1992-1996. He walks us through some memories of landmark events during the 16 and 32-bit eras: the launch of the CD32, the first days of the Playstation, and being at a company with…

as is tradition I would like to wish a happy monster month specifically to these intruiged English people I used to work with who came SPRINTING to find me when there was some buzz in Eastern Europe about dead bodies reanimating & hunting down kin for blood (this was in like 1600ish) to ECSTATICALLY say "you know what this means??? it means villagers better start putting rocks in the mouths of corpses & leaving piles of salt next to graves, or their family are going to leave their graves for them (& their lifeforce)!!!" he was so excited for all of these hypothetical vampires who were about to finally leave their tombs and blood sucker out. that's a true inspiration for people in the future looking for ideas for a horror novel in 1850 & beyond

Words of the Day

extemporaneous:

Carried out or performed with little or no preparation; impromptu.

Prepared in advance but delivered without notes or text.

Skilled at or given to unrehearsed speech or performance.

Sensory overload occurs when one or more of the body's senses experiences over-stimulation from the environment. There are many environmental elements that affect an individual. Examples of these elements are urbanization, crowding, noise, mass media, and technology.

bacchanal: an occasion of wild and drunken revelry.

Rewatched a video I made from 14 years ago [I tend to go down memory lane from time to time with my video logs that go back to my late teens] and I referenced a relative of mine -- that I no longer spar with -- having an innate ability to adlib. This word is basically a synonym for it.

A colleague said that working with a lot of folks gives them sensory overload. I think I get that too.

Read this word in a book I'm currently reading. The writing style is quite dystopian to me and the way this word was used intrigued me. I also have a soft spot for words with silent 'h''s.

i am a raincloud; all day i go drip, drip, drip

padre

madre;

maddening, when we talk like adults and you forget i'm still so young,

and say many thing, most of which i do not like in the least.

I become dark and my cloud fills with snot and fire, and cold. I get angry, like a pot of milk that boils over in a second, scorched, ruined, bad.

my father taught me that i was, and always will be, limited by being a woman. 

he will not shut up about biology, and the fucking hunter-gatherers. 

A rare flare of anger shoots up in me, and i tell him he is wrong for the first time, and fuck you.

he will never really get it, though.

he is quiet when i talk about absent fathers.

and we laugh at my mother behind her back, and even though i know that will one day be me, i still participate. i often think of that poem, and how cruel i am to her.

my mother and i never make fun of him. 

my father taught me mother isn't someone to be respected.

my mother would never imply that kind of thing about him.

When I told my father how much i weighed, the most, he was flabberghasted, shocked. he likes to remind me he didn't believe me about struggling until he saw how pathetic i got during the pandemic. he needed to see me bleed before letting himself believe his daughter was in pain.

i know he will always judge what i eat, and how much, even though i told him to stop commenting. he has, but eyes are never quiet in the same way words are.

my mother calls herself stupid, and says "i never get it, i miss everything", and "i used to be so overweight", in a very bad way,  in photos where her body looks like mine does now.

she doesn't seem to understand that she and i are one and the same, and i have already eaten the soft flesh of the fruits has handed to me, absentmindedly; even if she were to try and take them back, it would be too late. She hasn't, and she won't. All the same.

there are many other things. they could fill pages, maybe. my hand would hurt a lot if i even tried.

none of it is particularly consequencial. such is life.

if you would like a song, please take M.A.Y. in The Backyard by Ryuichi Sakamoto. it's strange and i've heard it somewhere before. i don't particularly like the song, strange as it is. i appreciate that about it, the strangeness, and the unwillingness to become beautiful.

best and most sincerely, your lover. (strange)
