Your Special Bonus Song of the Week (times 2)

Couple weeks ago for song of the week, I just put up some bizarre electronic music with no explanation. Here is that explanation:

My first song was an experiment in recording vocals, and my second an experiment in recording instruments. This, my third, is an experiment in mixology. I call it Mixology. There are eleven tracks, none of which have anything to do with each other.
They are:
1. The bassline from a song I'm about halfway through writing.
2. Random guitar power chords.
3. My heavily processed scream.
4. A kind of cool guitar part I came up with on the spot, and then looped so it fits the length of the song.
5. The part of the Netflix envelope you throw away.
6, 7, 8. The acoustic guitar intro to another song-in-progress, cut in three and then layered over each other.
9. One of Garageband's built-in synth drum kits, with me just making random noises on them.
10. Me shouting. I hate writing lyrics, so the only ones this song has are "one, two, three, four and..."
11. Synth-piano line for another unfinished song

I recorded (or copy-pasted) each track with the all others muted, so my only guide was to look at the Garageband interface as I went along. I wanted to see if a bunch of random sounds would fit together as music. To my surprise, they kind of do.



The first bonus song is called Mixology 2.0, because thats all it is-- the same song played at 240 bpm instead of 120 (in layman's terms, twice as fast). I think it works pretty well.



The second is called Mixology 0.5, though it's actually one-third as fast (40 bpm, the slowest the program lets you do). I also made track two louder. This is my favorite of the three, because it reminds me of Massive Attack, and also because I could turn a minute of work into three minutes of song.



I wanted to do a backwards version (I want to call it "0.1 ygoloxiM"), but I need to get new software first.
