White Science: Ideas and Thoughts

 I was originally planning to make music under an alias called "whatkaktis." My ideal style would be like sound collages and plunderphonics (specifically having the songs be entirely of sampled music) in a jokey, playful style, kind of like the underrated Evolution Control Committee. I was trying to train myself to achieve this style through a few tracks I've made on FL Mobile, all of which is available on this alternatively titled Soundcloud of mine. 

But then I started thinking about making up a band with more than 4 people called "White Science" (named after Eridan Ampora's wand power). It's MGMT and TMBG inspired in ideal methods of music, will have around 8 people partaking in it, and is the true idealism for my musical career.

I've planned the album covers and planned song covers. The song covers are what we'll do first, then we'll move on to making our own stuff (which I've been practicing to compose briefly). 

But why not both Whatkaktis and White Science? Yes, both. I can sample songs and implement them into my music, mostly made with actual instruments and not default Fruity Loops plugins. It's gonna be anti-rock... midwestern plunderphonics children's music, whatever it's gonna be. That is what I need.

Also, I'll be the singer and producer, but I'd have to train my vocals in order to sing right.

Ideal Process of a White Science Song (IF I CAN COMPOSE ONE)

The entire song will first be composed fully in MIDI. Then I think of a subject for the song's theme, wether it's creative, weird, or generic. After that, I write down the lyrics and I try my best to match the rhythmic wording with the melody. At last, it's up to the performance to see how this will go.

I tend to imagine the songs having a cheerful sound to it. It could sound like a mix between folk, alternative, and midwestern emo. Maybe a few accordions and maybe a glockenspiel (Dudebro, who uses glockenspiels in alternative music?). Maybe an unnecessary female singer!

I don't know, maybe I shouldn't be so obsessive over this band. I'll still plan it for the future, but I'll let it rest. Maybe I can just continue doing plunderphonic jams when I get a newly built PC.

Oh well. Maybe time will tell.
