Easy listening doesn’t do this one justice. It has a very relaxed atmosphere, which is always welcome on an early saturday morning. Good job on using all these different elements without it getting messy.

Thank you. My original idea was to do some very basic embellishments on Gurdonark’s track - but once I got into it I found myself going somewhere completely different. Glad you enjoyed it.

I like that you let all the different disparate elements have their voice. In some ways, sample assembly can be like a jazz band playing its paces—need to hear a little from her, and a little from him, and a bit in the bass, and put it all together so that it flies.

I like the way with my piece that you leavened off the edges and gave it a muted treatment which really improved it.

I thought the way you handled the various vocal samples was really effective here—and the changes of pace and idea keep the song interesting and fun. Thanks for remixing me!

Thanks!

I definitely took some liberties with your source materials on this one. I had thought I was going to base it on your source verbatim - but found that it was already quite complete.

My solution was to treat it as an ambient sound source - I played it back an octave lower and did some sound level automation work - and once I added other sound sources the Kutiman interview suddenly made sense as it relates to the same concept.

Thanks for your support on this one - I very much appreciate it.

Hmm… how does one define “easy listening”? Well, I think I needed to pay some attention to this song. I think the vocals required it. But not to say that it was hard to do. Overall feel is that it’s strangely moody yet subtly upbeat. Like a movie soundtrack or something. Overall, I can honestly say I enjoyed this.

Ahh - I very much appreciate the “upbeat” comment - because I feel the same. I admit that there are elements that may strike people as odd in this track - but I strongly think it’s an optimistic track, rather than pessimistic. Glad you picked up on that.

I would add “I enjoyed listed = easy listening.” Your concern about different elements competing for attention is unfounded — you made it so the different (and contrasting)elements worked well together. Thanks!

Thank you for that - because I paid particular attention to that - I didn’t want the track to be a gimmicky thing, but rather have a natural fit for everything - so I particularly appreciate your comment.

nice, nice soundbed. the image of aloneness, isolation is strong. actually, listening, i felt like the last guy left in the food processing plant. (which trumps how i felt when i sat down.) so… .

I like that description - even if I don’t know what it means to you personally it does mean something to me, and it feels just right.

Thanks for your support and for leaving a comment.

Thank you for that - much appreciated!

This is a side that I show less often but which is a significant part of my background. Gurdonark’s piece really helped to bring it back to life. :)

A bottle of white Rioja.
I found that there’s a “colab method” :-)

Pretty ambiance and for me it’s easy listening

Ahh yes. The “colab method”. Might give me a bad reputation. :)

Thanks for your comment. I really wanted the track to be enjoyable, and not just “weird”. Glad you got that.

And a big thanks to you again. You’re one of the small-ish group of people who like this sort of thing. Very motivating.
