I Hate Titles

[Charon]

One (just one) of my favorite titles ever: The Tortoise Recalling the Drone of the Holy Numbers as they were Revealed in the Dreams of the Whirlwind and the Obsidian Gong, Illuminated by the Sawmill, the Green Sawtooth Ocelot and the High-Tension Line Stepdown Transformer

I'm sort of attracted to the long and pretentious kinds.

74 points to whoever is familiar with that piece offhand (Googling doesn't count, kids).

You're in the wrong place to try to stump people with seminal minimalism and drone titles, yo.

heh, seriously, I used to go to sleep to that piece for a year or so (highly recommended).

Damn. I guess you're right.

For Cementimental most of my track titles are from good spam nonsense, generated with the excellent random text/poetry software JanusNode - http://janusnode.com/ or just in-jokes or overheard accidental surrealism.

For my happy grindcore band Gymnastic Decomposition the titles are mostly whatever I think the singer was singing/growling when I listen back to the recordings (usually not AT ALL what he actually meant)

for some reason pulling cool phrases out of this gets better results than using the actual random phrase generator on that website. but it's gotten some good results lately. otherwise i just use something out of whatever book i'm reading at the time.

Really nice tool, I could probably just surf the machine's poetry for hours. Very surreal.

Would be fairly easy to emulate these sentence structures in JanusNode tho. I might give it a go, I need to get back into writing some more TextDNA for Janus...
