Well, for being short and supposedly a rush-job, this has a well-considered feel to it. Did I really list a bpm for this? I had simply written it and read it into the mic. Nice blend of clear and murfled, your mix gives a certain unique tension, and the vocoded/distorted additions are well placed. Thanks for the remix!

Well, no - not a rush job as such - I didn’t have any particular deadline on it - more that it came together quickly, and by the time I had this cut, I thought: “yeah, that’s about right”. :)

Anyway - thanks for the vocals - enjoyed working with them. Just too short. :)

Dreamy in a sort of twelve monkeys sort of fashion. Doesn’t feel rushed to me, rather it feels just about right. Nice job here.

You just had to mention twelve monkeys, didn’t you? It’s one of my favourite movies, so it’s a flattering reference. :)

Thanks for your comments.

Have you ever seen La Jette? the original short it was based on. We watched it in a sociology honors course during my senior year in college, very dreamy dark stuff. There has even been a book done just of the images. Excellent movie!

No, that’s a space I’ve always wanted to get into, but with other priorities (work, family, music) I have never been able to pull off.
I love the idea, but it’s one of those backburner items. You know. Along with a few others. :)

Thanks for your note - appreciate it.

Hey, go ahead and quit your boring job and start making the videos for your soundtracks. What are you waiting for??
I write you the concept and storyboard ;-)!
Just a point: Instead of using some strange vocoders that sound like a 2 bit voice of a Hongkong puppie, you should use a talkbox. Easy to use and to build. Look here:

(to the glory memory of the unbelievable Roger Troutman)
That_s the only thing that I would like to see different :-)
But overall a very “Colab” track of the good sort!

Great feel to this. I really like the bass sounds against the others.

The vox is a great example of what good vocoding can sound like.

Thanks! It’s not for everyone, because there’s an ugly element in there; but I wanted to get a little clean, little vocoder and a little dirt mixed together. :)

Thanks - means a lot to me, because I admire your ability to mix your tracks just so.

But I’m staying off music for a few days - I’m off sick right now with an ear infection, so everything I listen to sounds odd and muted; and not in a daft-punk-cool sort of way either. :)

Hey Colab—I do like the mood that the distortion gives this, creates a differnt take on the words. Hope ya ears better :)

oh yeah - this one hits the spot. The crispness of the instrumentation around the extreme lo-fi voice really works for me. Nicely done indeed!
