So, what did I tell you? Despite being on vacation, I’m pushing out a ditty. This one is a mashup-type thing using old, old recordings of me singing and playing the piano and such, but reversed. And extra bonus fun: let’s play Name That Tune in the comments! No cheating, OK?
Hi All, Brian here filling in for the illustrious JT. Here’s a little something I whipped (say whip, say cool whip, now say whip…) up yesterday. Ah, the Garden State!
Our first guest dittyist this week is the ever-wonderful Jon Fuller. Here he treats us to the simple joys of home cooking and decade-old recording equipment.
OK, here’s the scoop about the Ditties this week. I’m going on vacation tomorrow, so that makes it quite challenging to make and publish a ditty every day, considering I have no idea when I’ll have the Internets, let alone access to recording equipment. So here’s what we’re doing. I’ll post ditties when I can (which should be interesting, and use lots of samples and loops), but in the meantime, we have guest dittyists! Just you wait and hear what these fine people have to offer you. So stay tuned, even if there isn’t a ditty every single day. There will be new dittyish posts while I’m gone!
This has been a pretty hectic week, as it turns out. So, today’s ditty is another non-traditional one; sorry. This one is actually from over a year ago, from one of my composition classes. It’s kind of a musical theater/art piece setting of The Giving Tree, by Shel Silverstein. Today I finally got around to making the demo of the first section. All the instruments are kind of cheap and fake-sounding, but they get the point across.
Special treat! Today’s ditty is a full-length song! I’d like to thank Vassar College for giving me the fodder for this spritely work.
Welcome to day 3 of cellphone week! Today, we’ve got a lovely little number that can be used for incoming text messages. This one is dedicated to the fine people of D4, for obvious reasons.
Also, just a note: tomorrow’s ditty may not, in fact, be a ditty. I’m putting the finishing touches on a new full-length song, and will probably just push that out tomorrow. I think it’s a better deal, anyway.
In keeping with the cellphone theme, this is a little cellphone voicemail greeting I just may use (but only to my friends).
