Just for fun Part 2: Bi-Astral Traveling

Bi-Astral Traveling

[.:.impossible]

I'm about to listen to this one as soon as "Someday" ends. I'm liking this. I hope you don't mind, but I sent the link to some friends with no initial explanation.

I did some stuff like this on college radio back in the day, but no one was listening and it was carnatic music with Elvin Jones drum solos.

Here is someone that could really appreciate this.

And dumpy's favorite bass synth is front and center!

The Madlib touch would be to do some hard panning, crossing the takes from left to right here and there, fading in and out in spots, adding a harder rhythm, but not to the foreground, etc.

I hear him as a direct descendant of King Tubby.

I'm just glad someone listened to it.

I'm trying to keep the "trickery" to a minimum. On this track I used the end of the Lonnie Liston Smith version (reversed) for the intro and then I reversed part of Pharoah's solo from the version on Thembi.

I also purposely didn't "line up" the arrangement, so it sounds like Pharoah is commenting on what Barron is playing.

Sweet. I've got an AEC meets Autechre mix somewhere that came out quite ok.

That's a cool idea Rock. I have had "fun" results working solo recordings into other things. I have Ableton Live, so it is easy to play around with this type of thing. I haven't done it in a while though, and don't think I have actually saved anything. More like my version of playing a video game I guess. I'm not much of a gamer... this type of thing is way more fun.
