Stereo Tongues
By miraclemiles on December 6, 2020 11:58 pm
For a few weeks now, I keep wanting to make a track starting with question: "What would Stereolab do?" It keeps not really happening, or I go in another direction. Or Stereolab is too amazing for me to understand. Anyway, what the metaphysical doctor ordered was some percussion. Needed to hit things (long week ... ). The tongue drum always delivers the good feels. Maybe the idea of stereo, or possibly even inspired by Q Rosh track last week of the two guitar tracks: I decided to mix two or even sometimes three of the tongue drum tracks. Some more zeze (samples), some keys, pitched down tongue drum for basses, then a little chop chop here and there, and I was beat for Saturday. Today I decided more drums needed, so out came talking drum and djembe. Too many drums? Mix is crunchy. Sounded like it was recorded in a bedroom with cheap equipment ... because it was. Funny that there are plugins made to make things dirty and crunchy like this. In truth I threw some things at the mix, but decided not to overthink. Let it be what it is. Sigh. Another one!
Oh ALSO: wideo recorded a lot of this percussion playing. I think I'll do quick edit of that. Will post here by mid-week or something, like last week.
AND ... Update --- Video done, some chop ups in Ableton, no FX for now ...
Happy week everyone!
