the free zone themes

you can download my themes for the free zone radio show if you want to do that for some reason.

chandler and rob g of the free zone (easily indy's coolest radio show) asked me to compose a new intro for their radio show. i made three. the first two tracks, "friday saturday" and "want to be free" are in the pop sampling/cutup vein that i'm perhaps best known for. the third track, "acapella" is indeed acapella, although it was edited down to 30 seconds from a few minutes of actual vocal recording. the idea was to mimic/parodize those modern radio ads that are so heavily littered with skipping, time stretching, and similar digital effects... these are effects that are used in some of my favorite experimental music, and most of those radio stations would never consider playing music that uses those effects, but they use them to death in their own ads. but anyway, i just hooked up a mic and mimicked skipping sounds and other noises, then selected my favorite takes and edited it all down to 30 seconds. it's kind of crappy but i thought it was an amusing concept and people often seem to be impressed with the "skipping" sounds i can make with my mouth.
