ChaotiMusic 102 – Trust Your Technolust
A totally heavy, but nerdy tune, with the title/chorus being a phrase I “borrowed” from the guys (and girls) of Hak5. The rest of the lyrics are all derived from the kind of topics, ideas and such that you might see on their show. Points if you understand all the references. Bonus points if you actually know how to use such techniques….
The music is totally detuned. I took my Tele’o'doom and tuned it all the way down to Drop-A, which is usually a tuning you’d do on a 7-stringer. For instance it is the typical tuning a Korn song will use. It really gets that sludgy strings flapping against the neck tone happening…. And yes, the intro quote is Jason Newsted (from the S&M doco, when he’s talking about the song Minus Human).
Lyrics:
Verse 1:
Escape from the analog
Compile your own direction
Break it all down to packets
Send it through the connection
Wrap it in the protocol
Crypto to duck detection
Don’t let the crash override
Your new gadget affectionChorus:
Trust your technolust
Trust your techno…. TechnolustVerse 2:
Write it down in binary
Avoid packet inspection
Open the source of data
Digital tubes of perfection
Sweeten with some pineapple
Virtual essence injection
Brute force tables for rainbow
Hackers live insurrection
[...] Get it here [...]
Love the dark thunking beat. IMHO: might wanna throw some gain & distort on voice & drop a few vocal octives for best effect, I’m thinking…
keep it up though, great work
Thanks for the feedback.
I tried gain on the vocals for this one, but I didn’t really like how it sounded…. it blended in with the music too much.
As for different octaves, I’m not Barry White I can only do what I can do. I can do “cookie-monster” (and have in the past on some songs here), but I don’t really like it.
Haha, right on man. I can understand the blend problem. I use my laptop to record my stuff, and I run into the same crap. But gratz nonetheless for turning out a techy-metal tune.
DrChaotica,
I dig it man. Everything we ever did on Hak5 was released under creative commons, so you are well within your rights to rock the metal technolust. You should e-mail them with a link and see if they get back to you. If not, I’ll try to get their attention for you.
