Floppy

This is an action packed little number for you to go mad for.

Where You Going?

2008-11-27T22:10:34+01:00

I just made this. Is is just over one minute and utilizes sampola a plenty from the film great "sexy beast". It featues Ben King of the Castle in real fiery temper, not one to be crossed.

Energy Crisis

2008-08-27T21:09:23+02:00

Here's one for you to suckle on in these harsh times of credit crunch. Mmmmmm, credit crunch. Sounds like a cereal.

Here I present "Energy Crisis In Your Back Yard", it's an 84bpm masterstroke:

Two More

2008-08-21T10:33:44+02:00

I've called these 'Curky' & 'Shillup Shanks', just because I couldn't think of anything else to call them. Both of these are the product of the last two days worth of evenings after work. This is because I've had a bit of a nagging cold and was unable to do much else other than watch TV and scuff about on the computer. Please enjoy what I done:

A Couple: Herty Gerty & Wiggy Wam

2008-08-18T20:28:46+02:00

Here are a couple of littuns I've dug up from my collection of nearly men. The first is Herty Gerty, followed by the dulcet Wiggy Wam:

Egg

2008-04-01T20:31:35+02:00

I call this purely "egg".

Animal Hospital

2008-03-31T19:26:25+02:00

An offering for you to contemplate. A call it "Animal Hospital". It is actually a remix of this rather nifty little blighter I'd done a while ago called nothing more than "Bizrate".

Surreptitious Snakes

2008-03-30T21:54:19+02:00

Now that's what I call a remix.

This is a song formerly known as "Snakes" which was by Steven Paul Allen's Mad Stamper emporium. If you listen to it then you'll probably feel better. I had a tummy ache earlier and now it's gone.

Brassed Off

2008-03-30T18:31:09+02:00

Just finished cobbling together this mess of samples and original breaks. I call it "Brassed Off" due to the high percentage of brass instruments prevalent on this track.

What I'm saying is just words, judge for yourself please:

A Floating Crab

2008-02-13T23:38:27+01:00

Just conjured up this on Fruit Loop 3. It's a compot of samples from 'The Blue Planet', an episode which features a rather cheeky floating crab. I've arranged them thus:

Face Cake

2008-01-12T22:35:25+01:00

This is a song that I made a few years ago. It's about Face Cake. You will notice that there is no "Gang Of Clowns" moniker here, this song was composed under the semi-serious solo project entitled "Everything Is Changing". Please have a listen.

My Critique of "The Limey" by Mad Stamper

2007-08-29T15:05:29+02:00

When I first heard of The Limey, I imagined a man who owned a lime grove who drives around in a Citroen 2CV fighting crime with lime and delivering citrus justice (citrustice) to the inhabitants of his village in Buckinghamshire. If you will, for a minute, hold this horrific idea in mind you can imagine how clammy my palms became at the prospect of listening to a song about a crime fighting lime grower.

Upon visitation of the slice of cyber space wherein the song sits (here) I happened upon a description of the track. I read through it, but it made no sense to me whatsoever. Something about Terrence and Billy Batts. I chose to ignore this as if it were one of those people what hangs about in public with a clipboard and a vest with some charity logo adorned upon it. I pretend to be on the phone when these people are out and about. Once this woman had the gall to stop me while I was pretending to talk on the phone and started with her spiel about what charity she was working on behalf of. I cut her off mid sentence with a curt "Can't you see that I'm pretending to have a phone conversation?" and then walked off.

The song itself starts off with a churning grumble that attempts to pass itself off as a bassline. At first it sounds rather messy and incoherent, like Michael Barrymore; but just as you're getting into the groove a cockerney voice pipes up with some words about something or other. "How you doing then? Alright are ya?". Well I honestly thought that someone from Eastenders was attempting to start a conversation with me. "Yeah, I'm ok" I reply, "I'm just listening to thi...", then I realised it was the dulcet tones of Dr. Terrence Stamp. Feeling rather foolish, I pressed on with the rest of the song, confident that my embarrassment would dissipate like a turd in a toilet cistern.

After a brief vocal interlude, a splash of silence sets you up for the pounding drums, replete with a brand new bassline over the original grizzler. Stamp goes on about some more violent behaviour, some rubbish about snapping a neck. The monologue really does draw you in to his world, and the pacing is perfect, timed beautifully to the musical bursts.

And just as soon as it began, it's over. Terrence Stamp is like a floatilla in a wide ocean.

Sausage Boy

This I call Sausage Boy. It is heavily influenced by the concept of Frankfurter vs. Richmond.

Mega Nut

2007-08-21T15:01:41+02:00

Made this one over yesterday and today. Finished it off at lunchtime today in actual fact of life:

It is called maga nut because I couldn't think of what to call it and one of the channels was called mega nut, so I decided to go for that. Other contenders for the golden boot were:

Fruits of Loom
Drumty
Piluk One
Piluk Extention
Whoopy
Tee Do
Rev Tinks

Bucket O'Rock

I like to call this one bucket o'rock, not bag o'rock as I previously stipulated. Pin your lug holes back and listen to it:

Monkey Nut Wrongdoing

2007-08-02T15:26:15+02:00

This jingle jangle is called "Monkey Nut Wrongdoing". The "wrongdoing" of which I am referring to is of course the inherent wrongness in consuming Monkey Nuts. I hate the little blighters, they are an insult to all other types of nut. Who in their right mind would eat unsalted nuts from a strange shell that looks like Trevor Francis' head?

This tune was made in collaboration with Mad Stamper. Brought to you by a joint venture. Please expect to find it delicious.

This is a little something I knocked up in my humble abode. Using Fruity Loops 3 one evening, I decided it was high time to get an oscillator and make it do my bidding. I spent from 6pm to around the 8pm mark manipulating the oscillator to my liking and then arranging it into some sort of audible mesh of drums and stuff. This is what I done:

The Limey

2007-07-23T17:10:56+02:00

Terrance shows us what he's made of in a bid to oust Billy Batts from his perch. Don't send him to prison, it's too easy for him:

Avenge Me!

2007-07-21T21:45:25+02:00

This was posted on my actual official blog a few weeks ago, but it's so enjoyable that I decided to put on here to catalogue the struggle of Gang Of Clowns in this work-a-day world. I do trust that you will ingest this as if it were a tasty morsel of food. And if the inevitable should happen (i.e. you have a poo and pass the morsel of food through your bowels) then I wish you the very best in your efforts.

Quick Mother Hide! The Germans Are Coming! (Remix)

2007-07-21T21:42:59+02:00

Yet another remix performed by me for you. This is getting silly now, isn't it? "Make an original tune!" I hear you cry. Well I will be making some in the near future, so you can rest your tired head until then.

Listen your fucking socks off:

Work In Progress

2007-07-13T13:09:25+02:00

In an effort to break in to the world of composing music for old 8-bit video game consoles, I have come up trumps with this offering. It's called "Work In Progress" because I always intended on adding to it, and the name just stuck. If you want to refer to it by a different name then please call it whatever you wish. I call it "inspired", no matter what day of the week it is.

Nerve System

Jimbo And His Jetset Get Mashed On Shrooms And Horse

2007-07-10T13:31:20+02:00

It is at this point that you will find another reworking of a Mad Stamper (AKA Steven Paul Allen) piece originally entitled "Jimbo And His Jetset". I am particularly fond of the musical "Yo!" that occurs oftentimes at the beginning of the track.
