about

This is my submission for the Cats on Synthesizers in Space Producer Competition. I started this from scratch on 8/2/2019. I was noodling around pointlessly in my lil studio, wondering what to do next, when inspiration fell from the sky in the form of a facebook post from COSIS announcing this contest. I, not being much of a contest type of dude, downloaded the samples to just have some fun and play with cat sounds for an afternoon, for lack of better ideas. But somehow, despite me constantly laughing my ass off, something pretty cool started to come together. Then During a break I wondered if I could find some good vocal samples, and stumbled first click onto this adorable short cartoon called Millions of Cats. My jaw dropped, to me this was a friggin gold mine of purrrfect samples! So many things just kept falling into place. After that I knew it was my destiny. I did not choose to make this song, it chose me to make it. And when I was done, with a resounding meow, it said share me with the world! So... Here it is - Bad Machine "Millions of Cats"

The entire song is all Cat samples from the pack provided, with the exception of the main bass line in the chorus, and one bell-type arpeggiated synth that pops in and out a couple times. The drums I started to do with all cat sounds, but the feel just wasn't right, so I replaced them with regular drums, but kept the lil kitten sneeze High-hats as the main HH line throughout the song. The rest of it is all Cats, cut up, manipulated and drenched in effects... In a nice way though :)

Thanks to all the awesome people over at Freesound.org for sharing their wonderful sounds with us weirdos, and big time thanks to Cats on Synthesizers in Space, Metapop, and Native Instruments for putting all this together! I had soooOOOo much fun doing this! Feel free to comment, I love to hear what what you're thinking. Cheers and enjoy!
