Sound collage created the morning of Saturday, June 25, 2022. Ambient sounds from the BBC Sound Effects library, with some samples from Quiet American field recordings. Episode subtitle is a reference to Vancouver’s KISS-FM changing format, firing one of their hosts, and that host protesting by playing Rage Against the Machine’s “Killing in the Name” on loop for hours and hours.

Please enjoy and thank you for listening.

I’ve been meaning to make a new sound collage for a while. The other night, I was watching StereotoneTim edit some Beach Boys tracks from their unreleased album “Smile”. She does her audio editing in Audacity, but watching that made me want to do some audio editing, so I opened Audition, started playing with some archived sound loops, and off I went.

I’ve had this one sitting in Audition for over a week. It started off as just me playing around with a prank call from a recent Snow Plow Show episode. I happened to be listening to Alan Parsons Project’s “Mr. Time” at the same time. You see, I have an automated weekly tweet that posts a link to that song on YouTube and I found myself listening to that song again. Anyway, I edited something together, posted it to Mastodon, then linked that tweet on the Twitter machine. The multitrack session still sat open in Audition, but I forgot about it.

Around a week later, I remember I have that just sitting there, and I had edited together about 14 minutes of stuff, so I went ahead and started adding to it, making a full sound collage. I recorded myself reading something I had typed up in Notepad++ a while ago, and added that to the mix.

Let’s get to the playlist:

Clip from Snow Plow Show episode 748: Beautiful Green Lawns
A Black Sabbath song I always forget the name of
“Mr. Time” — Alan Parsons Project
