Dirty Bomb

Featuring my homemade air compressor, affectionately referred to as 'The Dirty Bomb'. It looks, sounds, and is kinda scary to be around. At one time, it seemed like a clever publicity stunt to say I have a dirty bomb in my garage. The idea kinda fizzled.

Would you believe it took me six months to make this crappy little video? Didn't think so. It's been that long since I've uploaded. The audio was born just before Thanksgiving 2010, and then the festivities began; thirty-two inlaws. And then the snows came, and the creative juices froze.

As with most of my stuff, this is considered 'Not Finished But I'm Done With It'. Jam along, use it as background noise, whatever. Creative Commons, commericial use okay, maybe I'll get lucky and be heard.

I love the way they build old machines. Heavy spinny wheels and belts just waiting to take a hand off. The best and most dangerous is farm equiptment. No guards on anny dangerous spinning impliment whatsoever. Thumbs up to you mangler of an air compressor.

@jofus3456 And thumbs up to you friendly stranger, thank you!

[cooksterz]

Interestingly enough, i could still keep watching it... for a while, and wonder what its workin on.

[MidiPunk]

@cooksterz Sounds like I cut it off at just the right time, leave'em wanting more & stuff. It's got just enough of that steampunk flavor to be interesting for about two minutes. Thank you!

[BacksideGorilla]

@ThePatheticClub i agree, would love to see what your babies would sound like

[BacksideGorilla]

this is seriously bad ass. that bass is fucking sick

[Rutle]

Love the dirty bomb it does look a bit scary, cool music too.

[MidiPunk]

@ThePatheticClub That'd be very cool, holler if you need anything.

[ThePatheticClub]

@MidiPunk Depends how things pan out but I might actually use this to lead over and maybe sing.

[MidiPunk]

@igreentraveller Thank you, glad we bumped into one another.

[igreentraveller]

great stuff like the sounds and vid

[0Brodo]

sounds great

[MidiPunk]

@ThePatheticClub Thank you! Pathetic Punk, it could work. Send details next time you're bored, or just grab stuff & go with it. I just uploaded the latest work in progress (Sun Dance) to soundcloud. I plan to make my vocal debut in that one, with some HOOs, HAHs, and grunts.

[ThePatheticClub]

I do like! I think it's time for a collabo.

[MidiPunk]

@OriginalCollabs Thank you! I like to think of it as happy dark shit... Major scales over a march beat are hard to resist. Assigning a genre has proven to be one of the most difficult parts of the online sharing process.

@fatnynja I like the way you think, but that might be a violation of the Geneva Convention.

[fatnynja]

You could put your dirty socks in it . Then if it did explode it would live up to its name .

[OriginalCollabs]

Must admit... This is really cool. Your best work so far to me! Really, really love this dark shit! Electro-acoustic loud rock?! Gives me some ideas... Thank you very much for sharing this.

@iisnot Thank you! I have a new song in head but no time to work on it, summer is definitely here.

[iisnot]

Nice! Keep thawing those creative juices man!

[DoctorWankstaff]

Thank you bud. Will grab that sample. Peace.

[MidiPunk]

@DoctorWankstaff Flattery will get you raw sound download links (in description), thank you!

[DoctorWankstaff]

Great use of the air compressor. Brilliant track. Dirtier than Glastonbury Festival. That air compresser would make a great dubstep sample.

@xyzllii Go raibh maith agat!

[xyzllii]
