party on dudes!

Trickster used to have a project called Will And The Robot. Yeah, there was a Lost in Space link influence behind the name, but that's not all. The human musician exerts free will and the computer supplies robotic precision. Will And The Robot weaved together soundbytes from musical grooves, old science fiction shows, movies and cartoons to create new works. It's pretty cool (if you ask me).

This song was recorded as a test of a new software sound mixer and thrown together in a day. There was no music added beyond preexisting soundbytes. The groove was supplied by James Brown and the vocals were handled by the Lost In Space robot ausound sndsound wavsound, the Outer Limits Control Voice ausound sndsound wavsound and Mister Arkon (John Carradine on Lost In Space) ausound sndsound wavsound . There's even a moral ausound sndsound wavsound . The result is a grooving sound montage about the evils of television. I really wish I knew how to use SoundWorks at the time, I could have done a much better job. Maybe one day I'll remix it. Maybe one day the Robinsons will return to Earth.

It's not very representative of Loke E. Coyote but if you want to hear it, click here for the entire 1.3mb long song ausound sndsound wavsound . Please make sure you click the sound type that works for you. You'd be wise to try one of the smaller samples first.

    mine not to reason why

  your television
  will control
  your television
  will control
  all that you see
  all that you hear
  your television will control

    what is a robot to do but obey?
    what is a robot to do but obey?

  sit quietly
  we will control
  your television
  will control

      whatever I do
      I will do
      by my
      superior will

      whatever I do
      I will do
      by my
      superior will

  sit quietly
  do not experience
  there is nothing wrong
  we will control
  your television
  will control
  your television
  will control

    it is only
    image projector
    my masters
    are the boss
    I know you are evil
    I will obey
    it makes my head spin
    there must be another way
  
  your television
  will control
  your television
  will control
  your television

     a machine must not be superior
  to the destinies of those it guides
       it must remain the servant
             not the ruler

    mine is but to do
    or die
    die, die, die...
