Post **Posted:** Thu Dec 17, 2015 3:44 pm

oh ok found the Moodymann track, looks like it's just untitled. such a jam

Hey Pete I was wondering if there are any alternate track lists that were considered? It would be cool to hear the album flow a different way.

Hmmm....
I was super busy with mixing , and i could tell there was a narrative - or several narratives
but its really important to have the artist do that , so i encouraged him to try stuff out...

Yo RF
He asked me to do Tomboy seek whence, which was sweet ( i wish i could find the sleeve notes i did for that . They got nixed by an artwork guy ( very nearly happened on GR too ......hence insert )
The general gist was it was a sort if random story about finding a cd on a beach in brooklyn anongst the generations of scrap & taking it back to the apt & putting it on....it hand a kind of fairytale vibe ...
I was snowed in, in brooklyn at MGMT blanker unsinn studio & Noah was in Lisbon & i dont think the narrative made as much sense to him - thats my impression , but in retrospect , it fitted so sweet w the sleeve & the music ....
I'll dig thru the tomboy book .....c if it surf aces

aw man that's sick that he asked you to sequence Tomboy, always loved how that album flows. Would be psyched to read those liner notes if you happen to dig em up PK!

Post **Posted:** Thu Dec 17, 2015 11:21 pm

The Tomboy sequence is perfect.

Prolly don't want to answer but, just for fun, how would you have sequenced Reaper differently

I would hav to hav got 2xl to do it probly .......i was busy trying to get other bits sorted , so i didnt think about it too hard .....but i could see it was suite.....I dont think i had even an inkling of the real narrative .

The tune that starts 45 seconds in sounds like the the opening drum sample from Untying the knot. Sorry if this has been brought up before! This clip got MAD STEEZ tho so watch it anyway

The song is called Jungle Fever by Louie Vega

It was fun . They had some sweet songs .
Teeny has a good voice and the harmonies with Maya & her sisters was sweet .
Maya has a band w her bro called Dual Split that are great . I did an lp w them too after she left Teen .
I think they're self releasing it .

Am I the only one who desperately wants the bass to drop halfway through Selfish Gene?

Good quality live version here with the drop.

I love how the guitar(?) at the beginning of Boys latin gets ahead of itself for a second.

I love how the rim-click quarter notes in selfish gene blend in with the synth and high-hat eighth notes, and the three sounds blur into one thing.

Oh yeah, that's my bad. He said drop so I thought of ctys.

imagine a combination of tropic and drone
"you can't come back" / "i see you again" / thx effect

and then you die

Post **Posted:** Mon Dec 21, 2015 2:33 pm

I don't want a drop I just want a little movement in selfish gene

...forgive me...

originally that had no percussion & theres no real bass part .....
.....i was wandering how far these drops could go.....haha
I think CdubU wanted that to have a certain lock loop vibe
its certainly intentionally so . its a suite song.....

Post **Posted:** Mon Dec 21, 2015 2:56 pm

it is sweet, there's no denying how good that vocal melody is. and those lyrics

Post **Posted:** Mon Dec 21, 2015 5:27 pm

I love the bongos in Selfish Gene they must have some kind filter on them? They seem to bubble in and out of the mix so cool.

.... attended by spirits.....yes....

i dunno if they're bongos on that - we used a lot of diff percussion...weird hollow clay jar things & diff percussion . i think its those aboriginal vclack sticks mostly in Selfish Gene

...it is a step filter though that i use to do that stuff .....
differant cut-off freq on each accent ..... joy ....

Post **Posted:** Mon Dec 21, 2015 6:53 pm

my inspiration is mickey most on this production by this tightasfuck HC :

might not be a step filter here - probly just a wah beeing groooved , but similar vibes & ........

some sick breaks in this ....first few bars are itchin'......

the little 'attendant' percussion bits and samples(?) that start to fizz up into the mix in selfish gene is pretty magical... rlly does it for me. makes me think of magic powders and something coming to life. that groany bass that pitches up and down slowly... ugh . song of a lifetime for me. some of the percussion sounds like flapping wings... also something that sounds like the sound of moving blocks around a 16 bit dungeon in old zelda.

Nice ...,yeah percussion with attendants .....

It has always felt like Panda wrote this at the piano. Love this song forever

Post **Posted:** Tue Dec 22, 2015 2:40 am

good to know sb, thanks.

and ya i sure love playing that song on piano, and guitar as well. all these songs translate to stripped down acoustic versions rlly well tho.. but thats pretty much every panda/avey song rlly.
