holy shift

There was always the wish to listen to the hundreds of classic vinyl records that I inherited a while ago. I was to engaged and did not have the right mood. This week I started with this chapter and worked on an archive production "ave regina" pro cantione antiqua. First of all, I did the choppig on 64 pads and I started to get a flow with the stuff. Using 4 chops for a phrase seemed to work best for the guitarline. So I had roundabout 16.777.216 combinations to play with. But what happend then, was something like a magic experience. While triggering the samples, the song developed by itself into the right direction, whatever I pushed. So I only needed one take for it. I created a soft weird ambience around the vocals and the track worked fine.
I left the version as long as it was recorded, because I was going down so deep into it and do not want to cut it.

The choir mixed with the kind of underwater sound of the guitar is really cool. 

Wonderfully creative repurposing!

That choir is beautyfull. Is that deep bell like sounds the glockenspiel? Sounds much bigger than what i have in mind for a glockenspiel.
Very nice sound!

This choir is gorgeous, and the rest of the mix complements it really well heart

es stimmt, hier kam auch e-piano drin vor!!

awesome story, the chops are very clean! i didn't think it was done how you described until i read it. i find that any time i get to work with my MPC i seem to let the tracks build themselves as you described. nice work!

Sounds like the choir from hell is on the loose again.

The guitar and choir take on a dual drone-like quality.  I calmly zoned out to the guitar line smile  The pace of the guitar line reminded me a bit of Pantera's Planet Caravan instrumental.  Which is weird I even remembered how that sounded because I just spent 10mins googling "90s video with computer generated seed" tongue annnnd upon further investigation I just learned that Pantera covered Ozzy.  Woah, so thanks to your cool track I just totally learned something smile  That's a sign good track when it takes you places smile

Gorgeous work--the guitar reminds me a bit of an underwater Codeine, while the chorus adds this immersive lost-Optigan-disc-from-the-archive feeling. That's a great ostinato in the guitar line, and complements the vocals wonderfully. Beautiful melodies and textures!

this is so cool!  what a cool combination of sounds - angelic choir 

i really like this.  Quite mediative.  The length is totally fine!

I've got a project I'd like to do one day with my Dad's record inheritance I got a few years back.  Such a weird collection and not purposefully weird!  There'd be some gold amongst it I'm sure.

I was really taken away by this track, fantastic.

Sounds like a great intro for an album or a song if to make it shorter. Puts you in ambivalent trance

very beautiful. wow

Lovely!
