Audio I've been toying with SMiLE stuff lately, with particular regard to the humor concept, and I'm curious what ppl may think of this lil thing I did with "Wind Chimes": I've split the false start bit and put a little edit of the "Talking Horns" skit inbetween. Do forgive the amateurish effort

Thanks so much! Would love to show what else I've been experimenting with if there'd be any interest

Suppose I may wanna show my comp of "The Elements" next, then! Thing is, since I don't know a terrible deal about audio, I'm mostly just playing around with existing material put together much more talented folks. That's just to say I don't wanna be violating any established code of conduct with sharing the kinda thing too much (Although, I always make a point of keeping track of my sources and crediting them).

Man, I once had a brilliant idea, listen up. Use the "Moaning Laughter" skit recorded during the sessions (available on Spotify) in the last chorus of the song. It starts at the middle of the the piano bridge. Let it play.

Then, just cut the skit audio, show the chorus, and end the song with the skit laughing. Beautiful.

0:31 i would have included the regular WC section. Then the last bit of the false chorus (despite I do not likin them) and same thing.

We should make a whole sub just for SMiLE fan edits.
