Music by The opinion of the entire Baltimore school board - Fri 21st Dec 2001, 12:35pm
I note that Jesus' website ** includes a useful .mp3 file of 80 x 30-second snippets of music, loosely suitable for circuits (ranging from Gorillaz to Duran Duran and the "twisty Levis" ad to Bwitched). Anyone able to equip the FaT site with somethjing similar, but more musically credible. It would be good desk-listening music for bored employees and also useful for next Term's FaT circuits. Anyone got any ideas of how we'd replay it in the BH? * that's the Cambridge College, not the spiritual icon. Although, if it were the laatter, it WOULD add succour to the claim that "God is a DJ".

This bit is easy - you give all the tracks to Jonathon Davies (or someone else with the same software) who can then copy them onto a CD which will work in a CD player. Adding the 10 second gaps between the 50 second snippets is equally easy.

That's very useful information. I have no wish to go down the Bop playlist road, so will take a look at this. Nice one.

Alternatively, we could report them to the music industry and get JCBC a nice 5 figure fine. I can mix CD's, and superimpose "Go", "Half-way" and "Change" on them (or any existing CD) no problem. Who's voice should I use for this (preferably comedy, not Mark and Lard)?

I think we should have JPD's voice. Either that or Stephen Hawking.

Ranagazoo said: http://www.alwaysontherun.net/avalanches.htm#13 Noooooo, you've just given away what the stupid names are to everybody who doesn't know ;-) I could record Andrew Fisher giving encouragement - "Go! Come on, you can do anything for 50 seconds... 4, if I were to say anything to you, what would it be? Remember, it is very unlikely that you will actualy die... Half-way. I want you to be ready to kill a man. Commit with the legs... 4! Last few reps to beat Emma. You're going to trash them. And now push... Change. OK, now I know you're tired, but I know you want it, and you're going to do it again. Forget about the last exercise - it's in the past. And don't think about the one after - it doesn't matter. I want you to give the next one everything. Attention - Go..." etc...

I had been thinking of doing something similar actually - with bleeps or recordings of short people shouting 'change' and 'go' to mark the intervals. In fact, I should probably start collecting such samples, so if anyone who has the technolody would like to send me recordings of themselves / family / friends saying those words or adding your own encouraging touches, then I'll see what I can do about producing a circuits playlist

Sounds like a good plan. Can we record coxes during outings and use their calls? :) There was that recording of Brad Parr wasn't there?

Although, as in the bleep test, there would need to be two 'Go!'s at the beginning of the recording a known length of time apart, to detect any stretching of the tape.
