DRASTIC DESTRUCTIVE LFO PITCHSHIFTING:
I need to run a whole song (or a select bunch of tracks) through an LFO in simpler. Probably a sine, though if it's slow enough.. sawtooth would sound nifty. if it doesn't slow down and speed up evenly enough, i'll have to raise or lower the pitch detune so it balances out with the metronome (so the straight tracks won't go out of sync with the LFO'd tracks). this would work well with DRASTICALLY bent guitar, lap steel, cello, other bent instruments... etc.
It would work well ON percussive melodic instruments... piano, xylophone, bent hi-hat, etc... things that you wouldn't expect to slide in and out of their root.
Don't forget.. the rate could probably be animated, as could the depth.
That's going to be one long ass midi note.
**************************
BACKWARD AND FORWARD
Write a melody that sounds good. When flushing out the instrumentation, learn the melody backwards, reverse what's down so far (say... half of the instruments), and record the rest of the instruments playing the melody backwards along with the flipped track. Flip the result, so the melody plays the right direction. Then, about half way through... invert which instruments are forwards/backwards. I'll have to record everything twice (once forwards, once backwards), but it'll sound neat. Make especially sure some instruments from the first half are in the second half. Like.. a piano, or a drum kit.. or something. It'll carry the listener over the switch. Hell, maybe make it staggered (so it's not all at once)... or maybe make it all at once, fuck... play with it until it sounds good.
Try this with lyrics, and other vocalizations. Maybe.. do it on a voice-only song.
**************************
ACCELERATING SNARES ON 64ths
You know the sound... roll.. speed up SLIGHTLY, carry the rhythm into a mute or something silky. Go for samba rhythms.
Do it on I Observe, and keep Rexphisher short, damnit! Also on IObserve, stack between 3/4 and 4/4 with various swings.
