An interesting approach. A little Philip Glassy. I like it. And how often do you see orchestral and nsfw in the same description.

Thank you, and I have been listening to Steve Reich, Drumming, Music for 18 Musicians and Proverb were my favourites.

One of my earliest exposures to remixing was Reich Remixed (1999). I was also listening to Reich then but the remixes… well… still some of my favorite music.

Very interesting and convincing concept! I can imagine the lot of work you did reading “How I did it”! The nicer it is that your remix sounds so fluently and good!
The piano is phenomenal (maybe you reduce a bit volume to make Kara´s vocals more shining?!)
Great work QS

Frantic. In a wonderful way. Fittingly frantic. Hmmm… I love this. Orchestral sounds are among my favorite in general… hearing them with these vocals… it’s inspired. I do feel like vocals get a bit buried at points… but then… it is neat how they’re so whispery. Well, thank you for using them. I dig this muchly.

Thanks very much for the comments and your vocals. The vocals inspired me to that franticness and discord to get over the message.

I think the problem is that I have loaded all the vocal range with piano, I will have another go at mastering and tame those pianos. I still have headroom to increase the vocal volume too.

New version of Spinning is up with more audible vocals.

Thank you again for working and re-working with these vocals… Excellent. p.s. I just read your “How I Did It.” Impressive. I’m really glad your friend convinced you to share this. It’s a gem.
