Chasing Latency

from Green Screen by Chris Harris

about

The hardware doesn't always fight back; sometimes it just sits there, pretending it hasn't noticed what I told it to do.

lyrics

I'm told the limit
Is not the sky
I'm deep down in it
But I can't say why
Though I've gone to town
to my dismay
When I press play
The flag is down

Sick and tired of what it means
to have rewired the whole machine

This production
is getting tough
And no reduction
will ever be enough

An example
of what I hate
I have to sample
at a lower rate
And each revision
Has less effect
Too much concision
and the number's wrecked

I'm getting hazy
No longer sure
Is it crazy
to expect a cure?
Try as I might
to follow through
It's never right
But what can you do?

Chris Harris Bristol, UK

I'm still trying to get the music I record to sound like the version I can hear in my head. To do this I've ended up playing every instrument I can get my hands on. These days, I'm closer to "That Sound" than I used to be, but the journey continues.
