Phil South, an Englishman living in Wales, making music as The Sinatra Test. Also making soundscapes and dramatic podcasts. #music #piano #composition #avantgarde #mashup #rock #comedy #ambient #sleepaid #narrative Example of the kind of music I'm working on. An oboe played through the filter of an EMS Synthi-A, Roxy Music style, Beatles style bass guitar. Add a nice garbled treatment on the drums like Eric Serra. Finished with a Lab grown AI voice made from samples of a dear departed friend. Two small fractured piano chords tell the tale. A short composition for three pianos, argumentative and unresolved. A short piece of abstract electronic music with a distinctly 1930s flavour made with very old fashioned sound creation devices. A test of a cloned voice for the game. Obviously the joke is it's a version of "Zambesi". LOL New track using voices recorded from shortwave radio/SDR, a collection of radio hams and preachers and other weirdness from the aether . . . A snippet from a dusty old LP record digitised and refurbished using AI cleaning technology of Richard B reading my favourite poem of his.
