witchwyzwurd's music... http://witchwyzwurd.bandamp.com/ admin@bandamp.com Mr. Goodtimes (w/ vocals) http://forum.bandamp.com/Audio_Review/6115.html Well, here I go [i]again[/i]: hijacking a Marino tune. I was on the toilet and lyrics came to mind. [i]Then[/i]... I hopped onto BandAmp (like the little bunny I am) and perused the forum for any new tunes by Marino. And I found one (well I found two, but the other one wasn't as exciting as this one). Without intentions of setting my "bathroom" lyrics to his song, by surprise, the concept for them fit! So I did! Yay! In about two hours, I had the lyrics written and my voice recorded upon Marino's music. Now, Marino, you upsetted me very, very, [i]very[/i] much, when you made up excuses for why lyrics [i]I[/i] wrote for two of your other songs couldn't be used. I hid in a closet full of ice for two weeks... [i]how dare you[/i]! And [i]now[/i] I'm back from the numbing cold for revenge! REVENGE... by spewing my anger upon your musical landscape. I entitle these harrowing lyrics... [b]Project Must End![/b] ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Dawn breaks, but no sun shines on a dying planet 13 billion years of evolution produces nothing but waste Throw upon it a beast so dumb which can't control its own fate Tied to a plot that in the end results in complete destruction Made by a god reducing faith; spilling innocent blood Confining spirits for programmed crimes Hey God! This project must end! Maiming beauty with oil-based paste to hide your creature's shame Recycling life for others to eat but progress stays the same Step right through the blessed gates of Heaven's fraudulant scheme Place your hands upon God's lap and fall into a nightmarish dream Reality exists but you will find it's broken into pieces Rotting away for all to suffer in Hey God! This project must end! Man's a sin! Sin! This project must end! Hey God! Hey God! This project must end! ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- (And, again, I must say that Marino did not approve these lyrics or my vocals for his music. I'm just self-centered that way!) (Lisa, you get your own parenthetical sentence too... DO NOT TOUCH MUSIC! MINE!)

Thu, 24 Jan 2008 10:12:47 -0500 Torah Transmutation http://forum.bandamp.com/Audio_Review/5920.html I've developed a process to transmute text into music. Each letter of text is assigned a note which creates a melody line and chords are built by stacking notes assigned to the letters of a word. Rest lengths are assigned to spaces, grammatical signs, and some other ways. There is no room for subjectiveness, except for the speed of the tempo, which, so far, seemes to be at the discretion of the person transmuting the text. This began about a month ago when a member of another forum suggested I try expressing my Word Stack study (www.globallablog.com) as music. This got me to thinking in a wider scope of any text. The music you are hearing is transmuted from the first two paragraphs of of the Torah (which is the first five books of Moses: Genesis, Leviticus, Dueteronomy, Exodus, Numbers). I'm using a freeware called Finale Note Pad to write notation, and the program plays the music too. It's exciting because the finished product is left up to the text, which you don't hear until after a perfect transmutation is written and then you press the play button. The text below, the first two paragraph of Genesis, is what you are hearing. I cut some of the song off at the end because it's just some melody without chords underneath. More chords will fill up the space when I transmute the third paragraph of Genesis. [b]Transmuted text[/b]: [quote] TORAH GENESIS When God began to create heaven and earth -- the earth being unformed and void, with darkness over the surface of the deep and a wind from God sweeping over the water -- God said, “Let there be light”; and there was light. God saw that the light was good, and God separated the light from the darkness. God called the light Day, and the darkness He called Night. And there was evening and there was morning, a first day. God said, “Let there be an expanse in the midst of the water, that it may separate water from water.” God made the expanse, and it separated the water which was below the expanse from the water which was above the expanse. And it was so. God called the expanse Sky. And there was evening and there was morning, a second day.

I listened to the song and praised him for his accomplishment, and asked him if I would be allowed to write lyrics to it and record them. He said to go ahead and do it. So I sat down with pen in hand to write lyrics embracing the concept of utopia. A few ideas drifted through my mind, but nothing inspired me to write further. I wrote Marino an email to let him know that college was starting soon, and since I work full-time also, that working on lyrics for his song would probably take a back seat to my other responsibilities. After I sent that email to him, I sat down, put on my headphones, and listened to "Utopia" once more to see if some words would spring forth. From that moment on, from the first character I placed on a notebook page, my lyrics realized. Marino: all music, except voices witch wyzwurd: all voices, except pre-recordings pre-recordings: public-use (I'll provide details later) Sun, 03 Feb 2008 23:41:03 -0500 VK 1 test (w/ vocals) http://forum.bandamp.com/Audio_Review/6048.html On Wednesday evening, I read Marino's post about how the music for "VK 1 test" was for his VK project (see post)... um, what is that? Anyways, when I heard the song I started spitting out some words and melodies, so I scribbled some lyrics down soon afterwards and recorded some tracks the next day. I did a [b]rough mix[/b] and just finished it before I posted it here on Saturday morning. I've entitled the lyrics for this song, "For Keeps"; although, I'm not implying that's Marino's wishes for the music. In fact, Marino had no idea that I was recording myself upon his music... but he soon will! Sat, 09 Feb 2008 06:12:28 -0500
