“Whenever [disquiet0474]”
is a remix of randomly selected (#53)
which was a trio built on
which itself was a duo built on
The original track by analoc was in 7/4 time. The other parts built on that, but treating the rhythm in different ways. I decided to recast the whole piece in triplet 4/4 time at quite a bit faster tempo. Each of the three parts was re-fit to the new meter in different ways.
There has been some effects added to each track, mostly to make parts stand apart more, and bring out the bass register which is very muted in the original. Notably, there are parts of Peter’s violin that I dropped an octave and slowed to add a bass part.
I removed some material to give it a more sectional structure.
Lastly, and I’m not sure I should have, I added a very light standard session drum set. I felt this helped add to the dinner club or Penguin Cafe Orchestra kind of feel I was after.
Update: Peter was kind enough to send me a stem of just his part. The improved audio quality over my extracted stem, allowed me to do another mix which allows his part to come through better. I was also able to improve the repitched-as-bass bit, and make use of more of Peter’s playing, so the whole remix is slightly longer.
