[[Woozle]]: [[Woozle&#039;s audio projects|audio]]: [[The Cheap Imitation]]&lt;br /&gt;
==Introductape==&lt;br /&gt;
[[The Cheap Imitation]] was the name I used for my original musical recordings from approximately 1983 up to 1994 or so. I&#039;m trying to decide whether or not to keep using it. (The idea is that the recordings are mostly just me, overdubbed, and not a real band at all -- just a &#039;&#039;cheap imitation&#039;&#039; of one.)&lt;br /&gt;

====Time For You====&lt;br /&gt;
* &#039;&#039;&#039;Type&#039;&#039;&#039;: song with words (short)&lt;br /&gt;
* &#039;&#039;&#039;Version&#039;&#039;&#039;: demo&lt;br /&gt;
* &#039;&#039;&#039;Download&#039;&#039;&#039;: {{cimedia|ci-tfy-v1.mp3|MP3}}&lt;br /&gt;
* &#039;&#039;&#039;Posted&#039;&#039;&#039;: 2003.12.22&lt;br /&gt;
* &#039;&#039;&#039;Comments&#039;&#039;&#039;: Anna wrote this spontaneously when she was seven; the tracks were recorded in late October of 2001. We did one take of about one and a half verses, I think, and then she decided that her voice sounded too horrible and she wouldn&#039;t record anymore. So I had to patch together what I had.&lt;br /&gt;
* &#039;&#039;&#039;Credits&#039;&#039;&#039;:&lt;br /&gt;
** &#039;&#039;&#039;Words, Music, Vocals&#039;&#039;&#039;: [[Anna Nikola|A. Staddon]]&lt;br /&gt;
** &#039;&#039;&#039;Arrangement&#039;&#039;&#039;: N. Staddon&lt;br /&gt;
===2003 remixes of old stuff===&lt;br /&gt;
These were all originally done on a [[TEAC A-2340SX|quarter-inch 4-track reel deck]] from roughly 1983-1991 and then remixed digitally in 2003. (Currently only one track; others are in progress.)&lt;br /&gt;
====Dana Auditorium 3AM====&lt;br /&gt;
* &#039;&#039;&#039;Type&#039;&#039;&#039;: Instrumental (piano)&lt;br /&gt;
* &#039;&#039;&#039;Download&#039;&#039;&#039;: {{cimedia|cheap-d3am.mp3|MP3}}&lt;br /&gt;
* &#039;&#039;&#039;Comments&#039;&#039;&#039;: There was this enormous Steinway concert grand sitting in Dana Auditorium at Guilford College for a few days, and I just had to do something with it. So I sat down and improvised this bit. Turned out rather better than expected.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Analog mixes circa 1991===&lt;br /&gt;
These were also done on the quarter-inch 4-track reel deck, but mixed using a hand-wired patch-bay thingy made from a cigar box.&lt;br /&gt;
====Daydream of the Psychoanalyst====&lt;br /&gt;
* &#039;&#039;&#039;Type&#039;&#039;&#039;: Instrumental with weird speaking parts&lt;br /&gt;
* &#039;&#039;&#039;Download&#039;&#039;&#039;: {{cimedia|ci-psych.mp3|MP3}}&lt;br /&gt;
* &#039;&#039;&#039;Comments&#039;&#039;&#039;: This was originally part of a sequence of tracks; I&#039;ve decided I don&#039;t like the first two, at least not as they are currently recorded. The second track blends into this one; you can hear the fade-out at the beginning. The music starts after about a minute and a half if you want to skip the weird stuff. My-sister-the-mathematician does the psychiatrist bit at the end. (She&#039;s quoting &amp;quot;[[Wikipedia:ELIZA|Eliza]]&amp;quot;, an early attempt to fake verbal interaction with a computer. The machine pretended to be a shrink by asking leading questions without really understanding what you were saying to it. It ran on an [[Wikipedia:Osborne 1|Osborne portable]].)&lt;br /&gt;
: The song happened mainly because of the really short sequencer on my [[Wikipedia:Ensoniq|Ensoniq]] [[Wikipedia:Ensoniq Mirage|Mirage]]; the darn thing only had about 128k and its sequencer had an upper limit of about 15 seconds. The Mirage died in 1995 and I got an EPS-M (rackmount version of the [[Wikipedia:Ensoniq EPS|EPS]]), which is still very cool even if it is now also out of date. I expect I will be using the EPS for future recordings (it was used on one track of the [[Xmas CD Project]], 2001).&lt;br /&gt;
====You or a Reasonable Facsimile====&lt;br /&gt;
* &#039;&#039;&#039;Type&#039;&#039;&#039;: Song with [[You or a Reasonable Facsimile|words]]&lt;br /&gt;
* &#039;&#039;&#039;Download&#039;&#039;&#039;: {{cimedia|ci-fax.mp3|MP3}}&lt;br /&gt;
* &#039;&#039;&#039;Comments&#039;&#039;&#039;: The words came first. The last bit (about the rodents) always makes me think about my friend Hilary, so I always say I wrote it about her before I met her. Dave Fawcett played the real drums (the crash cymbal comes through the most clearly); I played and sang (I use the terms lightly) everything else.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====Interlude #1====&lt;br /&gt;
* &#039;&#039;&#039;Type&#039;&#039;&#039;: Instrumental (short)&lt;br /&gt;
* &#039;&#039;&#039;Download&#039;&#039;&#039;: {{cimedia|ci-int1.mp3|MP3}}&lt;br /&gt;
====Monorail to Nowhere====&lt;br /&gt;
* &#039;&#039;&#039;Type&#039;&#039;&#039;: Instrumental with weird noises and effects&lt;br /&gt;
* &#039;&#039;&#039;Download&#039;&#039;&#039;: {{cimedia|ci-rail.mp3|MP3}}&lt;br /&gt;
* &#039;&#039;&#039;Comments&#039;&#039;&#039;: Another track that emerged from the very short Mirage sequencer (as did &amp;quot;Daydream&amp;quot; and &amp;quot;Interlude #1&amp;quot;). I like all the weird sounds in this one, but after listening to it about 500 times over the last few years I can&#039;t tell if it succeeds artistically. Digital remix is in progress.&lt;br /&gt;
====Hell&#039;s Hotel====&lt;br /&gt;
* &#039;&#039;&#039;Type&#039;&#039;&#039;: Song (well, sort of) with words&lt;br /&gt;
* &#039;&#039;&#039;Download&#039;&#039;&#039;: {{cimedia|ci-hh.mp3|MP3}}&lt;br /&gt;
* &#039;&#039;&#039;Comments&#039;&#039;&#039;: The guitar is acoustic, distorted by a very advanced technical process called &amp;quot;turning up the gain too high&amp;quot;. (Can you tell this was recorded in the 1980s?)&lt;br /&gt;
* &#039;&#039;&#039;Credits&#039;&#039;&#039;:&lt;br /&gt;
** &#039;&#039;&#039;Words &amp;amp; vocal&#039;&#039;&#039;: S. Talton -- but give her a break; she was only 15 at the time.)&lt;br /&gt;
====The Penguin Song====&lt;br /&gt;
* &#039;&#039;&#039;Type&#039;&#039;&#039;: Novelty song with [[The Penguin Song|words]]&lt;br /&gt;
* &#039;&#039;&#039;Download&#039;&#039;&#039;: {{cimedia|ci-penguin.mp3|MP3}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====Distortion====&lt;br /&gt;
* &#039;&#039;&#039;Type&#039;&#039;&#039;: Instrumental (piano, solo guitar)&lt;br /&gt;
* &#039;&#039;&#039;Download&#039;&#039;&#039;: {{cimedia|ci-0-distort.mp3|MP3}}&lt;br /&gt;
* &#039;&#039;&#039;Comments&#039;&#039;&#039;: Mixed circa 1983&lt;br /&gt;
====Pineapple====&lt;br /&gt;
* &#039;&#039;&#039;Type&#039;&#039;&#039;: Original audio weirdness&lt;br /&gt;
* &#039;&#039;&#039;Download&#039;&#039;&#039;:  {{cimedia|ci-0-pine.mp3|MP3}}&lt;br /&gt;
* &#039;&#039;&#039;Comments&#039;&#039;&#039;: This should probably also be in the Top 10 Weirdest Things I&#039;ve Ever Recorded (along with &amp;quot;Summer Nights in White Satin&amp;quot; -- see [[Woozle&#039;s Audio Weirdness]]). It started innocently enough when I was trying to get an interesting rhythmic [[Wikipedia:Moog|Moog]] noise against which to play something, and then someone who didn&#039;t know I was recording started noodling around on the other Moog (an Opus 3), and there was already some odd stuff on some of the other tracks, and it seemed like a good excuse to assemble a bunch of odd sounds and try to make them go somewhere. (&amp;quot;Said fed head&amp;quot; is my paternal parental unit, from a recording presumably made for a psychology experiment sometime in the 1960s.)&lt;br /&gt;

==New Name==&lt;br /&gt;
I&#039;m considering using &amp;quot;Woozalia&amp;quot; as a name to replace &amp;quot;The Cheap Imitation&amp;quot;, partly because it&#039;s eminently searchable (it currently pulls up a total of 4 references on Google, all of which are me) and partly because mumble-mumble which I&#039;ll get back to later.&lt;/div&gt;</summary>

It started innocently enough when I was trying to get an interesting rhythmic [[Wikipedia:Moog|Moog]] noise against which to play something, and then someone who didn&#039;t know I was recording started noodling around on the other Moog (an Opus 3), and there was already some odd stuff on some of the other tracks, and it seemed like a good excuse to assemble a bunch of odd sounds and try to make them go somewhere.

==Introductape==&lt;br /&gt;
[[The Cheap Imitation]] was the name I used for my original musical recordings from approximately 1983 up to 1994 or so. I&#039;m trying to decide whether or not to keep using it. (The idea is that the recordings are mostly just me, overdubbed, and not a real band at all -- just a &#039;&#039;cheap imitation&#039;&#039; of one.)&lt;br /&gt;

====Time For You====&lt;br /&gt;
* &#039;&#039;&#039;Type&#039;&#039;&#039;: song with words (short)&lt;br /&gt;
* &#039;&#039;&#039;Version&#039;&#039;&#039;: demo&lt;br /&gt;
* &#039;&#039;&#039;Download&#039;&#039;&#039;: {{cimedia|ci-tfy-v1.mp3|MP3}}&lt;br /&gt;
* &#039;&#039;&#039;Posted&#039;&#039;&#039;: 2003.12.22&lt;br /&gt;
* &#039;&#039;&#039;Comments&#039;&#039;&#039;: Anna wrote this spontaneously when she was seven; the tracks were recorded in late October of 2001. We did one take of about one and a half verses, I think, and then she decided that her voice sounded too horrible and she wouldn&#039;t record anymore. So I had to patch together what I had.&lt;br /&gt;
* &#039;&#039;&#039;Credits&#039;&#039;&#039;:&lt;br /&gt;
** &#039;&#039;&#039;Words, Music, Vocals&#039;&#039;&#039;: [[Anna Nikola|A. Staddon]]&lt;br /&gt;
** &#039;&#039;&#039;Arrangement&#039;&#039;&#039;: N. Staddon&lt;br /&gt;
===2003 remixes of old stuff===&lt;br /&gt;
These were all originally done on a [[TEAC A-2340SX|quarter-inch 4-track reel deck]] from roughly 1983-1991 and then remixed digitally in 2003. (Currently only one track; others are in progress.)&lt;br /&gt;
====Dana Auditorium 3AM====&lt;br /&gt;
* &#039;&#039;&#039;Type&#039;&#039;&#039;: Instrumental (piano)&lt;br /&gt;
* &#039;&#039;&#039;Download&#039;&#039;&#039;: {{cimedia|cheap-d3am.mp3|MP3}}&lt;br /&gt;
* &#039;&#039;&#039;Comments&#039;&#039;&#039;: There was this enormous Steinway concert grand sitting in Dana Auditorium at Guilford College for a few days, and I just had to do something with it. So I sat down and improvised this bit. Turned out rather better than expected.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Analog mixes circa 1991===&lt;br /&gt;
These were also done on the quarter-inch 4-track reel deck, but mixed using a hand-wired patch-bay thingy made from a cigar box.&lt;br /&gt;
====Daydream of the Psychoanalyst====&lt;br /&gt;
* &#039;&#039;&#039;Type&#039;&#039;&#039;: Instrumental with weird speaking parts&lt;br /&gt;
* &#039;&#039;&#039;Download&#039;&#039;&#039;: {{cimedia|ci-psych.mp3|MP3}}&lt;br /&gt;
* &#039;&#039;&#039;Comments&#039;&#039;&#039;: This was originally part of a sequence of tracks; I&#039;ve decided I don&#039;t like the first two, at least not as they are currently recorded. The second track blends into this one; you can hear the fade-out at the beginning. The music starts after about a minute and a half if you want to skip the weird stuff. My-sister-the-mathematician does the psychiatrist bit at the end. (She&#039;s quoting &amp;quot;[[Wikipedia:ELIZA|Eliza]]&amp;quot;, an early attempt to fake verbal interaction with a computer. The machine pretended to be a shrink by asking leading questions without really understanding what you were saying to it. It ran on an [[Wikipedia:Osborne 1|Osborne portable]].)&lt;br /&gt;
: The song happened mainly because of the really short sequencer on my [[Wikipedia:Ensoniq|Ensoniq]] [[Wikipedia:Ensoniq Mirage|Mirage]]; the darn thing only had about 128k and its sequencer had an upper limit of about 15 seconds. The Mirage died in 1995 and I got an EPS-M (rackmount version of the [[Wikipedia:Ensoniq EPS|EPS]]), which is still very cool even if it is now also out of date. I expect I will be using the EPS for future recordings (it was used on one track of the [[Xmas CD Project]], 2001).&lt;br /&gt;
====You or a Reasonable Facsimile====&lt;br /&gt;
* &#039;&#039;&#039;Type&#039;&#039;&#039;: Song with [[You or a Reasonable Facsimile|words]]&lt;br /&gt;
* &#039;&#039;&#039;Download&#039;&#039;&#039;: {{cimedia|ci-fax.mp3|MP3}}&lt;br /&gt;
* &#039;&#039;&#039;Comments&#039;&#039;&#039;: The words came first. The last bit (about the rodents) always makes me think about my friend Hilary, so I always say I wrote it about her before I met her. Dave Fawcett played the real drums (the crash cymbal comes through the most clearly); I played and sang (I use the terms lightly) everything else.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====Interlude #1====&lt;br /&gt;
* &#039;&#039;&#039;Type&#039;&#039;&#039;: Instrumental (short)&lt;br /&gt;
* &#039;&#039;&#039;Download&#039;&#039;&#039;: {{cimedia|ci-int1.mp3|MP3}}&lt;br /&gt;
====Monorail to Nowhere====&lt;br /&gt;
* &#039;&#039;&#039;Type&#039;&#039;&#039;: Instrumental with weird noises and effects&lt;br /&gt;
* &#039;&#039;&#039;Download&#039;&#039;&#039;: {{cimedia|ci-rail.mp3|MP3}}&lt;br /&gt;
* &#039;&#039;&#039;Comments&#039;&#039;&#039;: Another track that emerged from the very short Mirage sequencer (as did &amp;quot;Daydream&amp;quot; and &amp;quot;Interlude #1&amp;quot;). I like all the weird sounds in this one, but after listening to it about 500 times over the last few years I can&#039;t tell if it succeeds artistically. Digital remix is in progress.&lt;br /&gt;
====Hell&#039;s Hotel====&lt;br /&gt;
* &#039;&#039;&#039;Type&#039;&#039;&#039;: Song (well, sort of) with words&lt;br /&gt;
* &#039;&#039;&#039;Download&#039;&#039;&#039;: {{cimedia|ci-hh.mp3|MP3}}&lt;br /&gt;
* &#039;&#039;&#039;Comments&#039;&#039;&#039;: The guitar is acoustic, distorted by a very advanced technical process called &amp;quot;turning up the gain too high&amp;quot;. (Can you tell this was recorded in the 1980s?)&lt;br /&gt;
* &#039;&#039;&#039;Credits&#039;&#039;&#039;:&lt;br /&gt;
** &#039;&#039;&#039;Words &amp;amp; vocal&#039;&#039;&#039;: S. Talton -- but give her a break; she was only 15 at the time.)&lt;br /&gt;
