Atonal Music & Goat Sounds.
RE: http://www.livejournal.com/community/thedailyalbum/23572.html?thread=202260#t202260
I'm curious as to what else you would use for your intro[?]
I can't recall exactly ... It was usually never just one thing.
usually it was like something on the turn table, something in the tape deck, and this or something similar in the CD player.
I like Sound effects since it was called goat sounds. I think I had some sheep or something on a record as well as a record of baby sounds.
I think on some occasions my co-host and I would get on and make our own goat-sounds.
Sometimes I would use Revolution #9 as a base music.
I don't think I ever used "Murder Mystery" by the Velvet Underground, (too much respect? or lack of a copy), but that would have worked out well too.
Also there was some stuff I had from Music Apprec. I'm not sure if I can remember the names of the composers... I think exceprts from Berg's "Wozzeck", something from Charles Ives. Not sure if I had any Schoenberg at that point, but that obviously would have fit in. Maybe Debussy's "Clouds", I cant' recall specifically doing that one either .. but that also would have fit the bill.
Opposed to the Branca piece, I could get into the other composers to some respect ... they seem to have had a direction.
It's not so much disdain for the music if I used it in the intro ... if you over lay enough different sources it can becomes cacophonous, Though I didn't want to be annoying or outright dissonant .. just chaotic and 'cloudy' if that makes any sense. That's said Branca Symphony in spades.
Like I said it was usually just for a minute or two while I set up for the show. Sometimes I would cue it up and then ask my co-host 'any ideas?' for what to follow it with.
It also let any listener's know (all three of them) that my show was on. Sort of like my pseudo theme music. I liked it too 'cause, then I would go around flipping everything off and turning the punk on it was a beautiful contrast, like when they change sections in the Zeppelin song "Whole Lotta Love", and it was a lot of fun too!
