Taken from 'Thinking in Textures'

IM INTO YOU
I gotta feeling we are gonna win
our bodies make it perfect 
and your eyes can make me swim

then again everything seems knew
I can barely hold my tongue
to say the least I'm into you

and your eyes
are saying more than we can talk and warmer than the bedroom sport
and your thighs are kisses from the outside, girl thats all i need

i'll take it down the other road
to breathe in something more

I find it harder to ignore
the things I want you for


*
I know you don't want
I love you can sing
the music was at the start
dododo   

the rhythm was all
I needed to hear
a woman can treat my heart
dododo


when i press an ear up to your breast
I can hear the rhythm start
its hard to tell our beats apart

so I hope your listening right now
cause I can barely hold my tongue
the shit we do could warm the sun

at night
twisted in a melting fall and sleeping with the scratching claws
your words
let me know your feeling me and seeing all the things I see

i'll take it down the other road
to breathe in something more

I find it harder to ignore
the things I want you for

I know you don't want
I love you can sing
the music was at the start
dododo   

the rhythm was all
I needed to hear
a woman can treat my heart
dododo

I'm Into You

Philip Stirzaker - Im Going To Miss You

This was my final piece for our minimalist project. Started with me wanting to sample Bjork's "All Is Full Of Love" into a song.

The song features the piano and xylophone playing the same melody over a number of octaves for 4 minutes before the outro. At the start the piano is panned hard right, unfiltered, however the xylophone is panned hard left with a high pass filter on it. Gradually both instruments swap their places with, at 4 minutes, the piano panned hard left filtered and the xylophone panned hard right unfiltered.

The bass follow's Bjork's chord progression and was made through Reason's Subtractor synth alongside a compressor. When I mixed it in the studio it seemed fine however in class through Alesis monitors it seemed quite prominent, much to the dismay of myself, yet the class, including the tutor, were extremely positive about it.

As for the vocals I found a rough a cappella and used the song's title lyrics. Gradually the phrase "All Is Full Of Love" is said. At the start of the assignment I planned to use phase but it annoyed me too much however I liked the outcome. During the vocals the word "Love" sometimes appear, almost interrupting the main vocals as if to "answer" the statement. Also at the end of the song you can hear the outcome of the phase better as the vocals start to repeat and repeat.
