The Darkness In Me. By Highlander May 2000 Approximate Length: 5 mins 15 seconds - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Hey there, folks! Now, I (Probably) know that you're thinking right now that this song starts off more than a little similar to a certain Portishead track. And to tell the blatant truth, you're totally right. I mean, don't they always say that imitation is the highest form of a compliment? Yeah, I thought so, too! So I heard 'that' song and thought "Hey, that's cool". That cool analogue moog sound is just so dreamy, and I had to figure out a way to imitate it using Impulse Tracker, which was actually deceptively easy. I just gone to the volume envelope section (Via pressing F4 - check it out!) and prodded about with it until I had it sounding how I wanted it to sound, and I think it really works rather well, don't you? Oh, and by far the most elaborate (Call it cheaty if you want) thing in this song is the juke-box sound effect at the beginning. It's not a juke box at all! It's a cunningly constructed collision of cool sounds I found on a sample CD. The first part is, if you listen carefully, an old-fashioned phone dial; the second part is a pair of handcuffs (US Style) being fastened - minus the ratchet sound! It works, too! But the dusty record sound was really hard to find, I eventually found it, though, after ten thousand web sites and stuff. Anyways if you like this song, or want me to assist in the make-age of any tunes, I'd be more than happy to help. Gimmie an e-mail - my addy is at the bottom of this text! See yas! - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Greetingz fly roughly in the direction of: My Family, of course ( Particularly Tracy & Paul...MISS YAS LOADS!), Neil Howie, Bill Reid, Brian Robertson (Best Mates in the world!), Lara Rose (The Miles Away Girl!), Cuz Thomas, Jhonen Vasquez and all the cool people at Slave Labor Graphics, David Mack (Your Work is SO inspiring), Ginger (Re-form the Wildhearts, please?), Trent Reznor (My Other major musical influence!), Mary Janczyk (You changed my life, you did!), aaand of course everyone who I've not mentioned!
