Daniel Corral - Die Laughing
I do not often use the words “funny” and “light-hearted” to describe electronic albums but they certainly fit Daniel Corral’s free and legal album titled Die Laughing. When he is not writing scores and dance pieces, he passes the time with putting together these …yes…funny and light-hearted pieces. Fortunately for us he has decided to share them with us on this free online EP titled Die Laughing. They are amusing and imaginative compositions that should give you a smile. However my two favorites are actually re-mixes. ” “Dirt Star” is a remix of Iggy Pop’s “Dirt,” while “Ba Doo Be Chum Chum” uses Roy Orbison’s wonderful “Cry Softly, Lonely One” in ways Orbison probably never dreamed of. “Thugs” is also interesting since it uses a sample of Sergei Esenin reading his poem “Confessions of a Hooligan” in Russian. This may not be Stockhausen or Babbitt, but who said electronic music can’t be fun?
Die Laughing is available in VBR MP3 format.
