Title: Enter Flamingo Pudding
Post by: FlamingoPudding on November 21, 2010 05:20 AM
Hello.

I am Flamingo Pudding, a 21 year old musician/psychonaut.
For the most part I chill out with my fiance, create some beats and smoke some pot.

Other than that I chase 2 dreams. One of becoming a professional musician (probably not going to happen) and the other of becoming a programmer (slightly bigger chance of happening).

I came here hoping to find a nice new home after leaving a different forum, where I practically grew up.
I don't know much about this place, but I've been here before. It smells like the past.

I am curious about the community, so surprise me.


oh and if you wanna know what I do musically (in case you are wondering if I'm just a douche with FLstudio or not), here's the latest track I'm working on.

-Flamingo Pudding

Its just a random working title, hehe. I don't have a title to really capture the feel yet, this comes in a much later stage of production.
Besides, some singer is interested in it, and she will want to change the title anyway.

But thanks, man. Nice to meet you 2.

Might I ask about the origin of your name?

Quote from: CipherMight I ask about the origin of your name?

You may ask anything, but I don't know if I can give you a satisfying answer.

Its inspired by a psychotic attack I had a couple of years back (that I'm still recovering from). Its basically a hallucination/dream where I put a flamingo in a blender and made this pink clay'ish pudding. I remember the texture and sound being very rich and tactile. Hard to describe though.

I used to make down-tempo chill-out music exclusively, but after that experience I made these chaotic hyperactive psycho-pop songs. Because the style was becoming so different I had to pick a new alias, and flamingo pudding just seemed to fit naturally.

As I'm typing this I realize how surreal and unbelievable this must sound. Interpret it as you want.

(if you want a example of the sound: http://flamingopudding.bandcamp.com/album/dropkots) (http://flamingopudding.bandcamp.com/album/dropkots))
