It took me a couple of years to accomplish finally a project, soldering 10 single outputs into my 1989 Vermona drumcomputer, having better control to the intruments. I think it was worth it, unless you don`t like east german fake 909/808 sounds. The intention was furthermore the option of using single effekt loops in future. This week I took those natural drums and created a Robin Guthrie/4AD guitarmelody, used some Midi-Juno60-patterns, some smooth Rhodeslicks and started rappin into the vocoder about sickness, life, death and social injustice. I am lucky none of the words are recognizable.
Because I felt something essential was still missing, I went for my old reel to reel tapes and was looking for a tape my father gave me years ago. This was a recording from 1958, when my grandfather was singing religious songs at a family farewell party for my dad, who left home in age of 18, going to study in Germany. My grandfathers singing is awesome, but not tunable at all. I bedded it in my song and found out, the phrases had almost the same length of those in the song. Now I was happy with the result. The song has a deep value for me now.
