You're listening to 90.9, WCWM, Williamsburg.

(BUM, bohm, BUM, bohm, BUM, bohm, BUM, bohm, BUM.)

Influences: The Princess Bride, Robin Leach.
Instruments: MIDI Strings, MIDI Trumpet, MIDI Trombone, MIDI Timpani, Horn Samples.

This is the first of three radio callsign sound clips I made for WCWM, the college radio station at William and Mary. I wanted to do something that sounded rich and famous, so I tried (and horribly failed) to model my voice after Robin Leach's, and put together a short regal fanfare composition using FruityLoops.

Technically, this isn't quite a proper readout for a callsign — mainly because I forgot to say "FM". So sue me.

The horn samples, which are mostly drowned out by the MIDI trombone and trumpet, are samples taken from the song "Simon's Zealots" off the 1973 soundtrack to Jesus Christ Superstar.
