20. I'm Sick of It - Xenochrony with guest star P. Pularso Dumm
The theme of this show is "I'm sick of it". It's in 3/4 time, and a rather slow tempo (56 bpm). I had intended to vary the tempo during post production, but (in the immortal words of Steve Martin) I forgot.
Included is a version of the final cut from P. Pularso Dumm's album "The Cheesequake State" ("Wishing Them Into the Cornfield"), and some Frank Zappa references. I sing a phrase from "Half a Dozen Provocative Squats" and refer to "subconscious tension" a la "Penis Dimension", both from "200 Motels".
In addition this broadcast was composed using Frank Zappa's "Xenochrony"* approach. The parts were recorded with a metronome, but no awareness of each other. Loops were placed that were in the right time signature, but without knowing what they would be underscoring.
* from the Greek words xeno (strange or alien) and chrono (time). As he explained, "In this technique, various tracks from unrelated sources are randomly synchronized with each other to make a final composition with rhythmic relationships unachievable by other means."
