Simple sketch at the piano taken as an example on how to use the pella with the same name under identity-pellas. See description there.My first male pella to ccmixter has been troublesome. I was wrong in the mic gain so it was recorded to digital very low. I had to apply a + 30 dB gain with a lot of noise floor. Then I used too much denoiser and too much expander to remove the hiss and it sounds as if it were made of a lot of small different recordings. I hope music can overwhelm these defects. To sing, I recorded a sample piano, I give it as a harmonic reference, as well as the two together in context. I'd better re-record the vocals to give them a second chance, but time is over for submissions. BEING I'm pleased you like my body -yet, I'm not my body I'm pleased you say I'm cunning -yet, I'm not my mind I am a being, and this knowledge gives me joy. My boss gives me new jobs to do-yet, I'm not a worker My wife Waits in the bedroom -yet I'm not a husband I am a being, and this knowledge gives me joy Some people believe in their senses some people believe in their thoughts some people believe in their feelings but I am neither of these My father still gives lectures though I am not a son My kids want me to play with them though I am not their dad I am a being, and this knowledge gives me joyI couldn't resist remixing the pella of such-an-Italian name Angela Grillo (although I'm sure she's 100% american). The second part of her dream was short enough to fit a pop song. I'm particularly proud of a synth sound with some digital emulations of bats, that comes out in the break (included in the stems).Bass, guitar and keyboard full length tracks of "Where did the bats come out?"An 8-bar sequence and a 16-bar synth part contained in the remix "Where did the bats come out"? The synth part emulates the bats's sound digitallyWhen I posted this song on the Calendar Girl website, she encouraged me so much that I feel I owe her something and now I spread the word. Not only her voice is supreme, also the words are uncommon. I wrote the song last summer (2007), and it nearly matched the september melodyI am wondering who will remix an Italian a cappella? Let's dare.. The complete text is in the song page at my site, [url]http://www.carosone.eu/amore&guerra(2006)/Straniera.htm[/url] , along with some secrets and candies. Translation: Rome, I look at you from the top of Monte Mario. A quiet, pink sunset is near. The traffic noise reverberates far only … How many tourists in the meadows, in the heat of July. Now, in Autumn, I contemplate the absolute desert. I would like to do like swallows, migrate to North Africa. And I feel, I feel distant and I feel foreign And I feel, I feel distant and I feel foreign I’d love you, I would love you more if I knew you less? Here, how many loves in the meadows, in spring. October, your month, seems no less intense to me Loneliness, sadness; my hope, your promise. And I feel, I feel distant and I feel foreign And I feel, I feel distant and I feel foreign I’d love you, I would love you more if I knew you less?An example of mix for the Straniera a-cappella, with dummy instruments, just to give a rough idea. Mind: volume up, it's not mastered. The freesound rainstick comes out when the words talk about Africa. See also [url]http://www.carosone.eu/amore&guerra(2006)/Straniera.htm[/url] for more infoFollowing Anchor Mejans, I submit my Russian friend Oxana chanting a traditional religious Indian prayer to Ganesh, God who incarnates the principle of wise innocence, and is manifest in the similarity of shapes between macro and micro cosmos (e.g. the shape of a river with its tributaries seen from the airplane is like that of a tree and its branches seen by our eyes and like that of our veins inside our body). This is a raw mic, I suggest to give it a wet reverb and a drone to start a spiritual ambient music..enjoy.Jamaica style remix of CG's June, with some subtle fx treatment contrasting the acoustic arrangement. I am flying to Jamaica this afternoon, I will likely update it when I'm back with some more true jamaican samples..My intimate view to one of the least popular songs from Calendar girl. I did not change the melody, just did harmonization and arrangement, so most credits go to her.January melody was so beautiful and I felt I just needed to change chords to make it work a little differently from Doghouse Riley (my reference track for these vocals). My idea in the instrumentation was to start with synthetic sounds and freezing fxs, to give the idea of the icing cold in january, and then gradually shift, and free Tamara's voice in a lush and loose melody, hot and wild, low and slow.Prepare yourself a cup of tea and a little patience, this is long. Cyclic structure composition for synthetic harps, piano, guitar, mallet instruments, fx voice and Korg Wavestation. Harmonic development is deliberately skipped to enhance the rythmic nature of this piece.Shited one semitone up a couple of notes, and drifted into major scale to give justice to the serenity of the original text. No computer, no electronics, no synths: 7 instruments either acoustic or electric, for one of the simplest (and shortest) of my remixes ever. But be patient for part 2, a different beast..A step outside my usual territory. Busy uptempo drum programming on AT&T website speaking voice of Calendar Girl text. All done with my new synth. Asimmetry tempo here and there, can you detect it?First came Astrud Gilberto, then Norah Jones, now Calendar Girl! Happy Xmas and New Year to everybody, this is my last mix this year.Part I: humans try to connect to E.T.s by various means: dialing tone, starship radio communication, then an old Indian sacred chant, whispered. The last works like magic and ETs answer. They bring us instantly (part II) to a galactic lagoon, where our favourite ccmixter sirens appear: CG describes the landscape, narva9 poses her doubts about where we're going. In the third part the bass drives us through a corridor ending in a supernova explosion, described by a guitar solo (Andreas Jaeger as usual) and a crazy trio answers positively Narva's questions. The Indian chant is my friend Oxana through a vocoder, apparently I could not quote a pella under my own name..For the most hooky refrain by CG, I started with a rock ballad, then did 3 versions (rock, funky, pop), finally mixed them into a single remix. EnjoyIt's April again and still new songs arrive on this old easy and fast acapella. Hope you like it (and hope she likes it as well). I will go to Rome for some days, see you later!Latin boys meet English girls at Lloret de Mar in Costa Brava, Spain. I had asked Alex Beroza his fantastic drum programming on this captivating acapella, promising an harmonization, and I have some months left with CG. It usually takes a month to me to complete a track, while I did this in 2 days, back from my Costa Brava holidays.. Remixers find the soloed piano part as a separate file.This has been long. I waited nearly two months for CG to re-sing this tune, (my melody was pretty different from the original and difficult to sing), she's very busy these days. But here is the song at last. I engaged a nightingale to dress her cinderella voice, and put some chalks and odd rims around on top of an easy melody originally played on my piano, embellished by Andreas's solo guitar. Cheers everybody, I will make the piano available as a bonus track.Carosone meets Songboy3. This little piece was made of some of the material I didn't use in the main remix (Side A). I played it alongside the main, and mainly to show myself that Songboy3's voice is so great that you can throw almost anything on top of it and it will work.My sitar is in Db and has 22 strings, so I preferred to pitch up Calendar Girl (C->Db), she came out faster. Again a joyful song, this must have been a serene year for me if I compare to last year's songs. It is also the last song in the calendar, and I wish to thank Tam and Andreas from the bottom of my heart for the beautiful adventure. Enjoy, ccmixters!My first non-calendar remix after more than 1 year is dedicated to SackJo and her wonderful words and voice. Fresh bakery, I was playing it less than half an hour ago.. By the way, if anybody likes this, you may also check my "storybook" upload if you missed it.Italian words in SackJo's pella were irresistible for me to kick in. Her soprano voice recalls Italian opera and I want to surprise her with a completely different arrangement, in Loveshadows's relaxed style. I worked a lot on a complicate programming of guitar loops (complicate for me since I am not a guitarist!). I played indian tabla to give a different sound. Stay relaxed since we go slow..West coast acoustic version built upon snowflake's. I added my own piano, bass and straight drums (and some production, faster than usual). A new harmony came out.Carosone returns, featuring SackJo and a little help from Songboy3. 5/6/2010: I've added all the musical stems for easiness of remixing. EnjoyI join the secret party for the first time, and I am really grateful to ccm for knowing Aamu: he's a skilled contributor of brilliant peculiar music gems, but he doesn't appear often, so I missed him so far. Based on his tracks, I worked an easy 4/4 track with some rock feel around a couple of very famous and perhaps abused pellas.I finally drop the main project of ThinkinAboutIt, side A, to which I devoted my last month, just when all remixers will be busy uploading the new secret mixer samples. Sometimes we want to be cutting-edged original, sometimes we want to be updated and modern, sometimes I like to be old-fashioned: copying a genre is an exercise for producers! I grew with EW&F, Kool&TheGang, Commodores and LionelRitchie and recently discovered Rufus, and Songboy3's voice has been a chance and a challenge to me. I really did my best to make myself and him happy: deliberately hi volume bass, 5 guitar layers, drums never on time but in the groove. My whole family learned this song since I was mixing on loudspeakers for over one week, I adore it and I hope you will enjoy as well. CheersThe Sitarist is used to play odd rythms. We did a lot of errors in following him. I have rushed to correct them, but we didn't have the chance to replay. Time for music is very short for me in this period, and the deadline was here, so forgive me.I've been lucky, as a secret remixer, at having Lars as the one to steal from. In fact he's mainly a sample provider to this website, and, as so, he has a lot of original material to make a remix from. The river dividing us is that I conceive music as a song, while he seems to conceive music as a companion to life, videos, software and experiments without voice. So, even doing a song, I wanted not to betray him too much and chose the most off-the track singer I know, Anchor Méjans, to explore territories far from pop while staying formally in the pop song structure and still with melodies emerging. I think the mix might be more cured but time is over, and once again I like the song a lot, so I hope you too will do.I tried to do justice to this great voice with a funky-soul arrangment. Big fun for me! I added some stems. They're all in sync from the start, soloing each track and recording the master bus output.A 120 as requested. I won't practically have chances to record music in the next 2 weeks, so tonight was my deadline for the emergence project and i could make it (now it's 23:20) with big fun for me! Emergence remixer: contact me if you need a more mixable version without fades or with drums out.Sax by D. Milzow, I join it to a classic downtime vocal track by Frank Carter III (missing since a while now). Recorded in Kenya, Africa, where we spent a week in the sun in the daytime and making music at night (what a joy..).In Italy, the words by Lessig and Snowflake, sampled here and there, resonate very much and they've never been so on time since we're going to vote a public referendum against recent laws introduced by our government for private water and Parliament members' protection from the laws (since more than half of them are accused of corruption). Title comes from our constitution, that this government wants to change and there's much debate since many think that the people who wrote it were much better persons than the one that today want to modify it. Musically, rock is the style for a song of protest, in my opinion, although I am a pop writer mainly and we have spoken words as a source material...jam!! [Add on 2/9: new voices by Snowflake, Bianca, Caspian, and Kara from Mindmapthat! new mix and master, file replaced, proper tag now.I'm one month late so I tagged the song "shake_the_root" myself! Snowflake provides a pella of incredible beauty just 2 days before the deadline, and I take the usual month to upload... My ancient music loves, Bali and India, live in this song thanks to new ethnic sampled libraries available today. EnjoyIt's summertime and Kara's humour and sense of freedom are my flagships. Shimoda is all over the track to give the right sparkle of oddities: can you hear him?A 16-bar loop with all stems for ccmixters to develop. 87 bpm AmI'm back! (after a while. Travelled in Nepal, changed computer, musical software upgrade, some time spent learning new software instruments, now I go back to music itself). Kara sings so well, I really hope she will upload more sung acapellas. Words are true and belong to my life as well.I wanted to build a whole song out of a short yet rich fragment by Frankie Carter III. I searched through my voice loop library if something could fit and I found Dennis Legree from Ueberschall (not shareable as a loop, sorry). Together they say crude words. Then I played with my new sampled strings, that have a "Motown" patch, and a bit of indian percussion to taste.I had missed this pella and discovered recently. I adore the words. A step up from the original tempo, but she asked for something shining, while many remixes were rather intimistic. This is standard pop, featuring Andreas Jaeger on guitar solo, Dennis Legree and Nicky McCoy on back vocals.I had submitted this song back in 2010. Now I am selecting 10 songs in the last 2 years to compose an album with my cc-remixes. When it came out, the song had little feedback and, compared today to others, it appeared to me a little feeble. Yet I liked it and know that it had a potential, so I wanted to work with it 24 hours to see if I could make it better. I understood that when mykle says "surprise ME" I had to surprise him with something new, so I called up Terrie.. PS I keep version 1 in my cc-page and call this version 2. Stems are at version 1 page.Like my last upload, a final remixed and mastered version of a 2010 song, more squared, more '80, to fit it to the rest in the selection. New stems: complete break (instrumental)Big fun. I looped Iguana_dawn drums and played over it (I had to use two bass drums to replicate it) with tabla and my digital battery. Finally I played a melody in the rythm of it, that does the pop "hook". I also filtered a segment of Hype and change guitars, sped up to 120 and looped for the whole song. Harmony to taste, beautiful irish vocals by Susannah Kelly, pitch shifted and adapted, and a touch of Balinese Gamelan (can you hear it?). Super_Sigil all over!Featuring Snowflake as emilyrichards in one of her eraliest uploads, I couldn't quote her for some time since I searched her as Snowflake. Either i didn't quote some of Javolenus's guitar material, since they are not shown in the popup list in the search box. This is as example of what a keyboardist can do with J's guitar samples, even cut one by one and processed. I'm glad to be back after 4 months where I had to complete my album for 2012 and devoted my time mainly to mastering, production, pictures and booklet, so no time for remixing anything new.Excellent lyrics by SackJo, true not only for thanksgiving day. Descriptive musical piece in 5/4. Have a good New Year everybody!One of our best poets delivers his most melodic acappella and I couldn't resist. Although both Anchor and Terrie are not perfect in tuning and tempo, yet they give emotions and passion like few others.Although many know me as a pop producer and songwriter, only my old friends know my first identity as a classic piano player. Here is one of my favourite pieces, played by me: Bach's Giga from Partita in Bb, played in a very personal style (with much pedalling work and a little slower than traditional records). It has to do with identity, it will be difficult to remix, but who knows! Enjoy EDIT: After the first remix I uploaded the MIDI part, with its pp and ff, pedal work and sliding tempo, to help remixes with your favourite sound in your sequencerI've always loved the quality of this pella that I put in my bag some years ago. After three months of classic piano recordings, I come back to pop and ccmixter.Snowflake's words about never-ending circles inspired me to '60 minimalist slowly shifted electronic loops who created a flow of little variations every time and returned to the beginning only at the end of the piece. I used reversed guitars for these 4 loops panned left to right and marked the emerging melodies with melodic instruments. Be here now is one of my favourite songs by George Harrison, and this helped me in introducing indian instrumentation. Emily's voice deserves the best reverb and already sounds superb on many other remixes of this vocal performance. Her private family story touched me, I hope she doesn't mind if I got rid of the "hold on" parts, to give a more universal and less consolatory mood. 2024: replaced with the mastered versionCopperhead is a gold mine of source materials, very easy to remix- I gather his invitation to more remixes of Frankie Carter III (could not quote it). Copperhead's fantastic drum programming, along with NiGiD popping bass, are the foundations for this remix. C provides also some guitar, sax and a lot of fxs running underneath. Not overly processed to retain dynamics, so feel free to push volume higher.annabloom provided a generous 6-track on his latest ironic cheddar blues (90 bpm, Am), and I couldn't resist to match him to the serious pella by Mr_Yesterday (94 bpm, Am)and panu moon guitar (Am) from grist_fodder, which is on my pc but I could not find on ccm and quote. The intro and 1st verse is simply the superimposition of these sources, with just a bit of time alignement and pitch shifting and fxs, and is much annabloom-based, with a classical blues chord progression revisited in a 2013 electro style. Then we add classical instruments (sampled) and end with a "poetry part" where we intepreter the blues with some freedom to the [i]gran finale[/i]. Apologizes to Mr_Y for cutting his longer pella, and to panu for not quoting.I could not resist to the latest SackJo's theatre hook, she is always interesting in her proposals. In these holidays I enjoyed my time discovering my (software) synthesizer Z3ta+, driven by midi keyboard and controller. I learned a lot about it watching youtube and this is the result of scraping below the surface of preset selection. Big fun (as it was when, at 16, I purchased my first synth). I finally inserted a guitar part in the end knowing that it might be played live in the show. 1. Music without voices and 2. soloists (skiddaw stones and guitar) available as separate files.The source pella has been removed by Panu when he recently cleaned his space in ccm, so I quote the "goin home" pella just to reference Panu (but no source from there). Emily provides the background vocals, with the words "in the living game" collected from her vast contribute. Shahd is a syrian singer now escaped to Lebanon to survive; my friend Elisa is now risking her life daily in a refugee camp for Syrian people near the turkish border. So I am glad to include a syrian voice to sing along with this beautiful Panu's pella. Musicians: Panumoon: voice (lyrics, melody) Shahd: syrian voice Nicky Mc Coy, Emily Richards: backvocals David Milzow: sax Jurgen Attig: bass Jerry Marotta: drums Francesco Carosone: piano, synth (harmony, arrangement) More in the how I did it.I'm so sorry that mykleanthony is not in the ccplus arena, I was sure of it when I started remixing this pella. But in the end I don't mind, I enjoyed my time and I hope some of you will like this slow dancing song dropped here just in time for Valentine's day. My key of love is Ab, I love all the black keys since I think they are warmer in sound. I learned Ab from a Schubert's impromptus, romantic staff of 150 years ago.A shepherdess sorrounded by cows falls asleep in a sunny mountain meadow, entranced by the beauty of the place, and dreams of dancing trance in a disco downtown. The cow bells enter her dream and finally wake her up.My short attempt at a stellar pella. David Milzow plays sax, Kai Reuter (and me) play guitars.The series of remixes where traditional Balinese music (gamelan) is merged in a pop context goes on with this one. This time I used a bamboo gamelan found in Northern Bali (provided as sample). vocals: Snowflake (excellent multi-track) slide guitar: unreal_dm bass: NiGiD (melodyned). percussion: J.MarottaDoKashiteru's samples and style. His own voice starts, then his aimee piano, filtered high pass to give it a new harmony, with ambient music underground from such a fine young man and a female voice from a free demo commercial loop, where I programmed and played the rest. You and your bright ideas pops in with a small sample, again filtered, then my guitars exercise with a harmonic progression where strings come in. The development of this song has been troubled by a solid state hard disk installed to speed up my computer, but needing all my music software to be reinstalled, autorized and I couldn't do it all, so I am a little shy about the production quality here, done in a rush, but you get the idea.Despite the simplicity, it took a while to get this right, in this computer age playing unplugged is a challenge, I deleted more than 40 takes and spent many weekends. Narva9's velveteen pella is a great piece of art, yet I think the gorgeous remix collab proposed by ivan chew and featuring her, colab and erhu was so printed in our memory for years that few of us dared to attempt any work on this pella, and this may explain why such a beautiful voice and lyrics has so few remixes (so far). David Milzow plays baritone saxI took the fabolous synth shared recently by BOCrew to inspire a romantic slow song, where Dreamtonics Solaria sings an episode of my life when young. I found interesting that the synth sample was in Bb, but I played in Eb and that fitted well.With his continuous sound research and distinctive refuse of musical patterns and language meanings, Morgantj is a gold mine of audio snippets that I call "ear candies". Yet, this time, I also wanted to follow him a little in his esthetics. I could not avoid giving a melody in the end, and a meaning, based on Essesq's poem that resonates in me, and to which I added 2 lines.Lyrics by Rumi, 12th century Persian poet and founder of rotating Dervishi. You cannot shun sunlight no more than a suave rose survives without its liquid beams Plant your inner space with seeds where feathers of flame play gracefully. There's something higher we know but you say not more, not this, not that: I don't know. You are tied up in [i]nots[/i], but beyond your cautious [i]nots[/i] you must see and say what really is without not knowing. (Mathnavi VI, 634).The original from Zep was already complete, yet I needed an harmonic development and I had to delete his bass to produce fundamental new notes where to introduce new guitar chords, brass and violins. Lyrics by Rumi,the 12th century Persian mystical poet and founder of rotating Dervishi, reported in the pella, uploaded separately. Daina and Nicky McCoy sing backvocals, guitar solo by Kai Reuter, they all licensed. I share bass, my voice and synths. Replaced: uploaded master 2024, Saros singing hereIt was 2007 when ccmixter came to know a new star in the vocal arena. CSM uploaded her first pella and I am filled with emotion everytime I hear it. I mainly remix vocalists, yet this is the first time that a secret mixter gives me a vocalist- well, she uploads a lot of remixes and has improved her skills in music overall in these years. Although she has many well famous pellas, I chose to give homage to the first and the last. Andreas Jaeger joins with his guitar solo, I play and program all other sounds.Adeline, ccmixter newcomer, welcome! She has provided a couple of very interesting samples made of drums and fast-varying sounds. I used both: drums outline the synth riff, while the sounds (repitched to match the song scale) come out in the last refrain and up to the end. Holidays, and some time for music for me. I have often took a-cappellas to build a remix, but this time I had an almost completed song and needed samples to spice it up. Amy sings, but she does not want to be credited (Chris in the backvoice). Andreas plays the guitar solo, enlighting with his jazz roots. I adore him. The song is in B, 7 beats, as Sahasrara requires.I'm learning a new DAW and it takes ages to make a new song. This had to be out at least 3 months ago. Little by little, I cannot apply for time-limited projects in this period! Kara sang "age of AI" and it was my greatest pleasure to have her accompanied by my old Vocaloid Prima, the synthesized lyrical voice by Yamaha. A.I in force!Then I engaged the fantastic guitars by urmymuse, most popular for a snowflake's remix,that inspired me to play the piano.I also submit the synth pad, since it's a granular resampling of Kara's ukulele in my new vst synth PadshopPro (it sounds like little disordered bells throughout the song). Andreas plays the guitar solo, unfortunately not shareable. Cheers, next time I will be faster15 years ago, these days, the first acappella was uploaded to ccmixter and started the website. I want to celebrate the 15th anniversary by remixing that.Crossing between Jamaican and Indian cultures, with some chops and fxs in the middle. For you vocalists, I supply the complete instrumental (or to comment your jamaican holidays video). For you guitarists, I supply the organ part to remix, full of melodies. The song was originally composed by Purandara Dasa (1484-1564), in Raga Madhyamavathi, although a rather new version was done in 1986 by Chitnahalli Udaya Shankar sung by the famous S.P Balasubrahmanyam in a movie and this version is frequently used by Bharathnatyam dancers in Karnataka land. The former dancer Ranjini Hemanth has sung here. By melodyne I changed major to minor. The song is a bahajan, that is a devotional song, for Lakshmi, the beautiful merciful Goddess wife of Vishnu, holding a lotus flower and sounding the jingle of the bells on her feet.Although it might seems a little too classic, I swear I only used synths (and not orchestral samples). Peace comes from long sustained early '900 harmonies. Agitation comes from kthugha's motherless drums (morphed through a vocoder) and his polar breath! The vocoder is animated in the finale to reveal the source. (This is just the appetizer)Lyrics: [blue]THE TIME WITHIN I’ d been sailing for months / longing for a beautiful spring /on the mainland at Port April. But they banned us from getting off /and made us wait on the ship / for a plague epidemic. The first days of limits were hard / then I behaved like no other out / for that time without (I) started eating half than normal, / then selected more healthy food / started reading a new book Some said this is the time without I’ll whisper, to the sea I will shout No matter if I am loosing this spring I discovered this is the time within I went to the deck at sunrise / to do some gym in fresh air / learned to make longer breaths. An old Indian man years ago / told me to imagine a light / - what a great insight A light entering my body / and enlightning my inner being / bringing joy within I missed the spring on that land / but I’ve been blossoming suddenly / Spring is forever in me Some said this is the time without I’ll whisper, to the sea I will shout No matter if I am loosing this spring I discovered this is the time within[/blue] The text is an adaptation of a Carl Jung's passage in his Red Book, that I read during my quarantine at home for the coronavirus, and seemed appropriate to my condition. Mastered version 2024 with Saros's voice and Solaria backvocals from Dreamtonics, new guitars and progressive drumsThis intentionally short song is the intro to a series of compositions, inspired to religious offerings from diverse places in the world (some of them already published here on ccm). Guitars by Pitx and urmymuse, I played keyboards. Rizwan is a Qawwali singer, nephew of the late Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan whom I knew 25 years ago. Rizwan sung a verse that sounded like a religious mormour of a Coranic verse. It's indeed part of a Sufi poetry. Lyrics are: Her Ibtida Hai Tere He Naam Say Her Ibtida Hai Tere He NaamTa Meaning is: Every Beginning carries the name of the Self Every Beginning carries Your Name. It sounded auspicious to me for an intro..I also upload MIDI for you to get creative with your synths and at different tempos. I kept it simple in the mp3Happy Xmas everybody. My idea for the starry night was to move with a classic beauty of 200 years ago and 200 in the future. Frankie "The Voice" sung so traditionally that I chose a pre-Beatles treatment, with 50s feel. Nico Finke plays sax. PS: Frankie's pella had a couple of glitches that can be heard on all remixes. I repaired them with modern software and I upload the restored clips here as samples 2024: uploaded mastered versionHappy New Year, ccmixters! I upload this in a hurry, I must rush to my Last Year's dinner! I really wanted to express the disease that I felt, working in my factory these days and one day working late going out ad midnight. Production usually stops during Christmas holidays, so I was amazed that a new automatized line has been installed during the corona virus period, which can recover the produced goods in the year by working 24/7. Midnight in the company, alone, was not a silent experience, and pushed me to express the stress of this technocratic trend. Luckily ccmixter is full of industrial sound sources to express this. Thanks to all contributors for sharing stems. The song has a 26'' intro of factory sampled sounds. Edit 1/1: stems uploaded, song mixed and perfected with some ear candies. Saros sings the mastered version 2024. Lyrics: [blue]I've been working late in my factory I'm sorrounded by new machinery Do help me please - my heart is suffering I feel disease - Life in the factory I'm walking out and I'm all alone I would like to talk, if there were someone Do help me please - my heart is suffering I feel disease - Life in the factory.[/blue]Grateful you extended the time for uploading, I am always late. The generous 8-track voice by spinningmerkaba was great for a traditional reggae, but I wanted also to explore an harmonic progression in a different rythm to make the track a little more varied.In time for the women’s day, I upload an ode to the Feminine Power that pervades Nature as potential energy in all beings. In the ode Her qualities are described, courtesy of Sackjo’s voice, taken from some of the 64 I-Ching hexagrams re-assembled, and lyrics from a female eastern choir.. Music form is a short 1970s progressive track, but with 2021 synth, fxs and mixing. Downloads: synth lead + ear candy synth delay Lyrics: Shteoh, Maha Svah Yahri, Mare To. Shteoh, Maha Svah Yahri, Teh The Power of the Great Nature Nourishing Holding together With grace Innocence Creative Peace Inner Truth Gathering together Untangled Ascend Potential Energy Nourishing Holding together With grace Shteoh, Maha Svah Yahri, Mare To. Shteoh, Maha Svah Yahri, TehA tribute to Radioontheshelf and typical american '70s with some synth twist. It usually takes one month for me to complete a song (in my leisure time), so 14 days are a strict timeline for me, consider this a raw mix for listening to the rough material. Radioontheshelf provides deep lyrics (I apologize that I didn't use the whole pella, too long for this genre, so also his idea of a doubt at some age is rendered only in a half) and it's been a plasure for me to listen to all his pellas, I had to grab this from the whole mix of his last wonderful song with an incredible javolenus guitar -which I warmly suggest. REPLACE: I had a couple of hours to do a better mix. The first 3 reviews listened to the original rough mix. Additional lyrics in the break: Don't you want to know what's the title Sally Burgess for? I'm Amy and the break is gone Listen how the story goes.. sung by Amy, representing the Yin of this tune. Band: Andreas Jaeger: solo guitar Nicky McCoy, Elaine Thomas, Dennis Legree: backvoices me: music, synth, electric piano and guitar; bass and drum programmingI went to the mountain this summer. August 10th we decided to wake up at 3 in the night to climb a mountain and see the "falling stars" from the top, then see the sunrise from there at 6'30''. I was the one who woke up the others. I searched for an holiday pella and found this one by Snowflake who did it in 2017! (I listened to it some days ago for the 1st time). I had to partecipate to this event.. For lofi I used '60 sounds in a garage reverb, and used heavy high shelves in the eqs. My apologize to Snowflake for having melodyned her (1 semitone higher or lower sometimes) to fit the harmony and rearranged the lyrics' order.I drew Radioontheshelf, he did a stellar "When Love Leaves The Town" recently. I worked on that in a remix mood: put my hands mainly on harmony (through a vocoder), vocals ( I uploaded Martin Cee's separate vocal for intelligibility), drums, and some bitcrusher for digital lo-fi. Big fun with these modern tools for remixing in 2021!Synth arp with stars sounds (according to me!), a preset sound in Pigments 5 done by myself. The arp is played by hand and it's not the result of an arpeggiatorSpeck plays 2 solo pianos (from Freshly Mown.. Piano 06, treated), electric piano (from G Sharp..) and a couple of instruments from Cassie O - the initial synth (01 Concertmate 500, treated) and the Ballophone that plays under the added Amy's voice. Fabolous Anji Bee connects us from her G sharp voice old and classy. Lyrics: we all live aparted and talk to the walls Oh I miss you baby though I know for sure that we are connected Lyrics have an hint of the covid period and the internet connection that reigned in the era. Musically, recently I was amazed at an Indian devotional song that has 7 different verses and a common refrain in between. I did something similar here with a shorter structure. I added my electric piano to match Speck's sound: inventing chords after his piano solo from Freshly Mown was a big fun and a continuous surprise. But when I drew Speck, I knew that I would have an easy life remixing! In the stems, the collective electric piano part and an ear candy synth in the endWhen I got Kara I was happy because it's been some time. I chose a serious song she did in 2021 with Piero Peluche (last upload), a beautiful indie rock guitar song. So I wanted to try a keyboard arrangement, and give some light pointing up the Relief part in the lyrics, which fitted a Resilience theme in the grief->relief transitionHallo ccmixters! My remix of this famous pella is a tad ambitious, inspired by 70s prog song structure and - I warn you - more than 9 min long - take your time before pressing play. I wanted to challenge myself. Containing samples from the 5 continents (one world..). Mastered version 2024 uploadedLyrics: He went on foot on this land like a bright moon in the dark blue sky The souls of the night travelling were enlighted by him He said "if I spend 2 days in the same house I will fall for that Get away my soul, move away not bound by any place [Chorus] Our body learned to travel He learned from the Spirit - once Daquqi said The Spirit is unbounded by Space and Time - said the spiritual lord He came to admire seven lights then seven trees merging into one Close your eyes - see the One that is hidden within Credits: Sleeperspaceborn: acoustic and electric guitars, drums, bass Carosone: ambient guitar, synthesizers, viola (sampled), shakers Solaria voice from Dreamtonics I changed harmony to sleeperspaceborn guitars in the chorus to fit the melody I had in mind Stems: synths (3), ambient guitar, viola (2) Daquqi was a wanderer sage lived around 1000, his story is narrated in Rumi's Mathnavi 3 (v 1878-2305). Edit: mastered version 2024 uploaded, title changedWhen I drew Snowflake I felt lucky, plenty of options. Yet I discovered there was not an a-cappella for the beautiful "Alchemist Apprentice". My vocal extraction didn't work so well and I had to cut the first sentences. For the rest, I built a pop ballad around the vocals, changing the harmony and adding some melodic parts. I was moved by the guitar work by my friend Julia, which I share along with my piano, synth and some other stemsLyrics by Amina Mara were intriguing for me, but too long for a pop song, I decided to extract the grandfather's section. Tranquil nocturne piano by Admiralbob77 was fantastic and anticipating gave me that syncopated hint for the whole song where I played guitar, Rhodes (vst) and bass, shared wet. Backvocals come from a commercial loop and may be used in a complete mix.Narva9's voice was originally in the middle between C and C#, I guess she sung to a guitar tuned by hand, perfectly in tune, but in the middle. So I melodyned her to fit my keyboards, and by mistake a note was also made longer and the following shorter (which is what Melodyne does), but it sounded brilliant to me, it made a snappy refrain, I consider it a happy accident. I hope she doesn't mind. I share the wurly electric piano and a synthetic sound of engine done in the vst synth Arturia Pigments by importing a sample of mine, which I am very proud of.He never was in a secret mixter event, never edpicked. It's because he does not remixes. Yet, he has been a fantastic contributor to this website for 14 years, remixed by many but not by me so far. I pay homage to him by taking one of his first uploads, where he also sung (out of tune!) and asked for other vocalists to cover. Now after 12 years, plase listen to music and lyrics by Javolenus, remixed by CarosoneThis song describes the strange hours between night and a new day with lyrics and sound events. Lyrics by PorchCat, melody by Carosone. I have a soft synth that can load samples, an electronic drum battery that can load samples, and a loop machine that can load samples. I loaded them all with samples from PorchCat, so all these sounds come from him. Natalie sings, I play bass and guitar (provided in the stems along with some fxs).
