Shaman of the Toilet Bowel

This is an old recording I made with a demo version of Reason 2.0. It must be nearly 7 years old now. The demo version didnt allow you to save or output a wav file, plus it was limited to 15 minutes use or something like that, so you had to work fast. I knocked this up to simulate the sound of someone retching in a toilet of a nightclub, utilising one of the subtractors "talking" patches.

In case youre wondering; yes it was a a negative slant on the whole night culture thing. I've changed my views a wee bit sense then :) This is what I originally wrote about it all those years ago:

So in honour of pleading to "God" over a bowel in a seedy nightclubs toilet while the euphoric music pumps through the walls, I’ve created “Shaman of the toilet bowel”. I think it really captures that retching rapture people spout when they’ve had one glass too many.

I guess it still represents this though, just my general attitude has changed. All I had of it was a crappy little wma file, which had all the production values of a east european porno. I did a fair amount of compression and upped the lower end to give it a bit more of a bite. You have to love that loose bass line lol
