The Selection

A special album I made of UK and US public information film clips or PIFS for short and are from the 60s, 70s, and 80s the special eras of the PIF which were dauting to watch. I said this a few times now but I’ll say it again you do learn quite a lot from the PIFS and they are mostly educational and a blessing to have watched as I could of sworn I’ve been saved by accidents thanks to the public information films and have a lot to thank them for so thank you. On top of that it makes good memories me waking up in the middle of the night and seeing the fire PIFS which was about smoking in bed and also the electric fire leaving that on at night and how dangerous it is, it makes me scared to put on a candle as I live in a flat and there is only one way out which is out the window but luckily it’s not that high. I’m not trying to shame no one but I’m surprised on the amount of people who can’t swim and I think it’s a life lesson we all need to go through just in case of a fatal accident which could end up you dead basically. I’m also surprised how many stupid people there are who would risk their life for a stunt on camera and not the trained professionals but the every day person. I’m not the one to mess around with danger and that’s all probably to do with watching the PIFS as a child. I love watching the old FBI PIFs and they are the most interesting to watch as they say a lot and are funny but not funny at the same time depending on which one you are watching but my favourite one to watch is the nuclear attack ones as they are the most interesting to watch and quite scary it’s a daunting thing that we could be attacked any minute but let’s hope not. 

I decided to get the tape deck out and boy was it a headache but I managed to scrap up something from it and make a House and UK Funky EP with it. I sampled four songs from The Temptations Just My Imagination, Lil ‘ Kim Back Stabbers, Mary J Blige’s Changes I’ve Been Going Through and Chaka Khan Miss The Water which I recorded onto a tape deck and cleaned them up which was the worse bit and used RX10by Iztope to clean up the samples. It took four days after three attempts and I’m happy with this one but there are parts that were hard to clean like the tape slide and the warping sound which doesn’t sound too bad with the pitched effect on it. I might have to invest in some more tools to clean up the samples and get a good tape deck that doesn’t over slide or warp when playing it back as it sounds a headache in the mix and hard to clean up with just filter EQs alone but I will get better and research the products I need to do the job properly. Since I can’t clear the samples it’s a free download on Bandcamp and I will try and do some more acapella-based sampling with the tape deck in the future which will be all free and on Bandcamp the place where all my free downloads are based on. I wanted to improve the songs I make and I think I improved it on this EP which I hope to make more like this in the future but it’s hard when I’m making songs day after day with no breaks it kind of takes the fun and feels to the songs kind of like being over saturated. I will add the original songs to the inspirational section on this site in the music section of the main menu on this site for those who haven’t heard it or want to catch up.
