Extra Information Music to leave on someones answering machine. I used my Ensoniq EPS to sample myself saying "I'm just calling to say 'Hello'". Each word has a separate sample. Then I used it to make a piece of music with each word on a separate channel and with various pitches, accompaning the sentence of combined words. My purpose was to call someone who was not at home and leave this recording on their answering machine. I did this with some of my friends, but everyone got mad at me. No one caught the fun of it.
