ButterflyPolite - video for "Am I God?" taken from 'The Mess We Made' CD.
Featuring Sarah Marshall, (and Doug)
Song by Andy Jenkinson
ButterflyPolite are:
Sarah Marshall (vocal) plus
Andy, Doug, Kerry, Kate, Jon and others
Filmed on a borrowed BBC camera, in one take and with zero budget.
Tricks of the trade: a bubble machine, a slide projector, a torch, stage lights with dimmers, quick change clothing, slowed down video, sped up sound.
Apologies for the encoding error meaning 30seconds of blank at the start.

Gobbledygook...revealed. (cont)
6. The 'Loop Remix' function was used.
- This slices up a (drum) loop, and - depending on complexity parameters - puts it back together in another order at random. Slices can appear reversed or repeated.
7. This process was repeated until something beautiful was found.
8. These new samples were triggered over their relevant chords.
9. A low pass filter was automated to remove obvious transitional clicks, and further remove the intelligibility.
Voila!

The goobledygook vocal... revealed!
1. There was another melodic line specifically composed, which referenced the chords a lot. I tried to avoid notes that the main vocal was taking whilst still being within the chord.
2. Sarah sung this new line, which was recorded alongside the song.
3. The vocal was chopped up into lengths that lasted as long as each chord did.
4. These segments were sampled into a Yamaha A5000 sampler.
5. The samples were trimmed and treated as if they were drum loops.

My Alarm clock, Golden Syrup, John Hurt in the film adaptation of 1984. What is not to like?
