(Un)necessary Forgery by Casimeria

August 3rd, 2010 2:18 PM

INSTRUCTIONS: Apply manual forgery techniques to a work of art that is easily reproduced.

For example, forge a piece of music, or a poem. Fight digital reproduction by making distinct but exact(-ish) copies. Is your forgery good enough to fool anyone?



This was the first piece of "electronica" I had ever heard.

I immediately fell in love with it, it was so wistful, so haunting, so serene and so beautiful I wished to be able to recreate it. This is 6 or 7 years ago.

I can't read music, but i can listen and figure it out... and thus it was my project to create this

So i present to you a forgery of Moby's hymn.

Part of it has tried to stay try to the sound of the song. Much of it is what makes it distinct, playing with what makes the song itself (in an effort to make it distinct). In my efforts to makes it manual, there is one track of piano, with no other layers like the original.

I don't think it's good enough to fool anyone, but i think it has taken something beautiful and attempted to give it a different dimension.

Or it could be if there wasn't such crappy sound/mic quality...

The album it's from. So there is a picture, rather then a .m4a
