All of the pieces this year will be at least loosely based on the Vaporwave genre.  Today&#8217;s song is a remix of Judy Garland singing &#8216;Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas.&#8217;<\/p>\n<p>She sounded like she was already a bit merry to me on the recording, but then I ran it through Paulstretch and expanded it by 8 times the duration and it became suddenly clear that this song is actually made up entirely of existential anguish. This remix uses an 8x stretch, a 30x stretch and a little bit of normal speed, all assembled in SuperCollider.<\/p>\n<p>This year, I am fundraising for the <a href=\"https:\/\/cafdonate.cafonline.org\/294#\/DonationDetails\">Hackney Night shelter<\/a>, which my wife has been volunteering at. There are very few shelter beds in East London. This roving shelter makes up a large percentage of them.<\/p>\n<div class=\"powerpress_player\" id=\"powerpress_player_1326\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.berkeleynoise.com\/celesteh\/podcast\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/scaryxmas.mp3\" title=\"Play\" onclick=\"return powerpress_embed_html5a('1326','http:\/\/www.berkeleynoise.com\/celesteh\/podcast\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/scaryxmas.mp3');\" target=\"_blank\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.berkeleynoise.com\/celesteh\/podcast\/wp-content\/plugins\/powerpress\/play_audio.png\" title=\"Play\" alt=\"Play\" style=\"border:0;\" width=\"23px\" height=\"24px\" \/><\/a><\/div>\n<p class=\"powerpress_links powerpress_links_mp3\" style=\"margin-bottom: 1px !important;\">Podcast: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.berkeleynoise.com\/celesteh\/podcast\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/scaryxmas.mp3\" class=\"powerpress_link_pinw\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Play in new window\" onclick=\"return powerpress_pinw('https:\/\/www.berkeleynoise.com\/celesteh\/podcast\/?powerpress_pinw=500-podcast');\" rel=\"nofollow\">Play in new window<\/a> | <a href=\"http:\/\/www.berkeleynoise.com\/celesteh\/podcast\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/scaryxmas.mp3\" class=\"powerpress_link_d\" title=\"Download\" rel=\"nofollow\" download=\"scaryxmas.mp3\">Download<\/a> (Duration: 5:30 &#8212; 8.2MB)<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Have yourself a Scary Christmas Once again this year, I&#8217;m doing a series of Christmas music where every piece is written within a few hours.
