[sc_embed_player fileurl=”http://www.nquit.com/sounds/ThirdOption/FrostedMiniWheats/02ThirdOptionKennedysGroove.mp3″] Kennedy’s Groove by Third Option I didn’t know whether to be systematic or random all over the map in posting about this stuff. Today I guess I decided on systematic. This one, Kennedy’s Groove, is also from the first Third Option album, Frosted Mini Wheats, which, I’ll say again, isn’t for sale, because …
[sc_embed_player fileurl=”http://www.nquit.com/sounds/ThirdOption/FrostedMiniWheats/18ThirdOptionApplemania.mp3″] Applemania by Third Option I called this one Applemania because it has just an incredible amount of Beatles samples that I took off a vinyl record. Then there’s some samples from this vinyl record of whale song that I got from a national geographic magazine. It was all floppy. Because vinyl records could …
I kept thinking about this song this weekend: [sc_embed_player fileurl=”http://www.nquit.com/sounds/ThirdOption/FrostedMiniWheats/14ThirdOptionHalloweenInDenver.mp3″] Halloween In Denver by Third Option It’s from the first Third Option album, Frosted Mini Wheats. I thought of doing that album, and thus created that act, when I had been beatboxing for an hour straight on the drive home from hockey practice when I …
[sc_embed_player fileurl=”http://www.nquit.com/sounds/ThirdOption/FrostedMiniWheats/10ThirdOptionBoycottTheRecordShops.mp3″] Boycott The Record Shops by Third Option I remember being proud of something about the drum mix on this one. Something about the way it was compressed or tight or something. The woman talking is an old old lady and she’s introducing Rage Against The Machine at this concert – I took if …
[sc_embed_player fileurl=”http://www.nquit.com/sounds/ThirdOption/FrostedMiniWheats/11ThirdOptionDanceUncle.mp3″] Dance Uncle by Third Option Man I’m listening to this one on my new little studio monitors, which reveal a lot, and godDANG the bass is too much and too muddy. Well, to me anyway. You’ll still love it I like this one because I have these samples from that same cassette tape …
[sc_embed_player fileurl=”http://www.nquit.com/sounds/ThirdOption/FrostedMiniWheats/12ThirdOptionOrsonsGroove.mp3″] Orson’s Groove by Third Option Obviously this one’s called Orson’s Groove because of the Orson Wells sample. I think I got that sample from online somewhere. I’m not sure if it’s still the case, but used to be you could find almost anything in a .wav file archived on various websites. I used …
[sc_embed_player fileurl=”http://www.nquit.com/sounds/ThirdOption/FrostedMiniWheats/13ThirdOptionFrostedMiniWheats.mp3″] Frosted Mini Wheats by Third Option It’s a bit anticlimatic, I think, that this track is the title track. But still (at first I capitalized that, that’s funny) this one’s kinda fun and bouncy to me and I laugh because of the serious sounding essay text I’m reading where I’m talking about the …
[sc_embed_player fileurl=”http://www.nquit.com/sounds/ThirdOption/FrostedMiniWheats/15ThirdOptionBuzzsaw.mp3″] Buzzsaw by Third Option Well this one I called Buzzsaw just because I was using this buzz patch for the main “theme”. Obviously this one just doesn’t pick up from the previous song’s theme at ALL – it’s just a new thing. I remember liking how the drum mix came out on this …
[sc_embed_player fileurl=”http://www.nquit.com/sounds/ThirdOption/FrostedMiniWheats/16ThirdOptionAlladinsGroove.mp3″] Alladin’s Groove by Third Option I really always loved the melody on this one. I think I was proud of the drum mix being tight and balanced too. I must have been getting better at that. But yeah I always thought this was pretty. It reminds me of nightmare before Christmas but I …
[sc_embed_player fileurl=”http://www.nquit.com/sounds/ThirdOption/FrostedMiniWheats/17ThirdOptionEyesGlazedOver.mp3″] Eyes Glazed Over by Third Option This one really IS boring, but it’s almost supposed to be. *LAUGH* It’s actually not as boring as I thought, listening to it now. Again I was gladder about the mix on this one than previous ones. I guess the process was improving. This is another one …
