Optical Center

By Jim Wood on April 24, 2014 3:29 pm

Slightly higher than actual center. Vocals by G.L.B. from Danny Rich's "Fortune Teller" remix contest. E Minor.

Reminds me of Matmos for some reason.  Somewhat weird but also quite accessible in a strange kind of way.  Don't know the original artist though so I can't compare the remix sorry.

Matmos is good, thanks. I don't know much about the original either -- I just used the vocal and discarded the other tracks.

I just listened to the original -- safe to say my song bears no resemblance.

Trippy!

It's somehow relaxing and completely disorienting at the same time.  Great usage of the sampled vocals.  Once again they take on somewhat of an alien quality.

Really dig the FX on the voice and the nice synth sounds design. Well done!

I like how the vocals were used and the pulsating sounds that create the tempo.  It's almost like my old cd deck skipped but turned that into it's own melodical track smile Nice job!

Thank you,sir. I used to have one of those CD players.

Listening to this on a set of AKG 701s and... Wow. Just sounds great. Love the vocals and synth sounds. So many great sounds in this.

I wish I deserved a compliment like that. smile I'm listening to your work and am inspired to work harder to get to your level.
