Over at discogs there was a thread posted about making a track with your speakers off, not being able to hear the samples you are using. I think the first result posted below is rather amusing and it'd be cool if people on TA gave this a crack too.

Howdy y'all. The idea hit me earlier to construct a track consisting entirely of audio I have never heard before and with no hints as to it's content other than the waveform as represented in the sequencing software I used. So! I had a friend pick out 15 different wavs and send them over while I constructed this track with my speakers off. http://soundcloud.com/employee6817/...ased-experiment I challenge y'all to make more. Requires at least one other person to send you audio files or something like that.

Someone has been nice enough to provide some samples here:

Your challenge: http://www.thebasementlabsworldwide.com/challenge.zip 15 randomly chosen, randomly named wav files. No peeking.

This could be quite hilarious. Do we have to use EQ?

Man I can see mine being absolutely atrocious.

LOL.

I might try this. I assume we can use effects, too?

Do whatever you like, as long as it's with your speakers off.

Okay, I am going to try this. Those random samples plus effects in Live, no monitoring whatsoever. I will make it about two minutes long I guess. Should have it posted up in the next couple hours. :-)

I was disappointed in that some of it (especially at the beginning) actually sounded decent rather than absurd, although it gets a bit goofy in parts. Still a fun exercise, though.

It seems to have a pretty cool film noir vibe to it. I could hear it being played in an action scene of a retro 50s film. Of course, it might work for a porn film as well.

I'm going to try some simpler variations on this experiment later on.

Nice one. That was kinda cool.
