Possibility

Mp3

Possibility is on the last Third Option CD, Cult Of Nice and was not done with Linux. Cakewalk 5.0 for DOS was the sequencer, along with some creative use of toy keyboards, live drums, and a grand piano.

There's a bloop bloop sound in the last section which sounds like a synth, but is actually the result of putting an SM57 in the middle hole of a grand piano, running that (directly) through three Boss guitar pedals (delay, distortion and reverb), then to a classic Peavy guitar amp and mic'd with a condensor. The blooping and delay and subsequent synthy track was played (by me :) ) live to tape. The chanting is just a few of our friends overdubbed a few times. All the pianos are real grand piano.

A liscensing company loved but summarily rejected this track because they thought the vocals at the beginning of the track were sampled from a newscast. It took me a year to convince them that they were Tamara doing original poetry and I'd just told her to sound like a newscaster and telephoned the track. :)
