It's my very own dancing religious rodent!

2600Hz makes electronic grooves and ambient experiments. No telephone companies are hijacked during the making of these tracks.
Someone once told me, "Music is meant to go somewhere, not to just be." What a sad, lost soul. This kind of music is all about just being. Initially, 2600 Hz set out to produce ambient music. This is seen in the song Space Ages. But when ideas hit the recorder, the stuff that comes out are more of the chilled groove sort. Perhaps this diversity will continue to show through as I progress as a musician.

Story behind the song
This song started with the lead string-sounding synth melody that starts the song (after all the yeeaaahhh's). I was playing with my VSTi's and a patch and melody sounded good together so I decided to capture it and see if I could create a song around it. Next came an intro. The synthy melody sounded somehow Asian. I had this silly Delay Lama toy VSTi and, for whatever reason, I kept visualizing a cheesy, Hollywood-esque temple for a Far Eastern religion with some monk moaning about nothing. (I kept recalling Jim Carrey singing, "Aaaaaaaaaaallrrriiighty, then!!") The name is a two-way pun, and the thumbnail image represents the pun. It is "much hip", or quite hip, and it has a monk-sounding thing going on in it. And, put the words together, and it sounds like "my chipmonk". An appropriate connotation, I thought, with all the emphasis of the upper registers of the audio spectrum. It has a cool groove to it, I like it, but there are a few regrets: the snare sounds like hiss, the sound isn't fully filled out (mostly highs and the mid-lows of the bass line), and the chord progression is tiring with no break or deviation. But this is the first complete song I ever created since A Tribute to the 1990s, and I've picked up a few of these production skills since Much Hipmonk was created.
