This was an experiment with really long reverberations. But the melody struck me as being good for dream inducement. So here you go.

Untitled 6.30

I had to test the mic and a few things out.. and this just sort of happened by itself. I have no control over these things. They occur as a quick succession of thoughts. 

Identity Shift

You set out across the ocean, 
Finding where you came from..

is gone.. 

You breathe innocense and hopeless,
holding on to everything that's wrong...

It's not your fault, it's all the world
It's not your fault, it's just the world,

And this is dead.

Cambio de identidad

vos saliste a cruzar el océano,
encontrar de dónde vienes ..

y se ha ido ..

Vos respiras la inocencia y la esperanza,
y aun llevarás todo lo que está mal ...

No es tu culpa, es todo el mundo
No es tu culpa, es sólo el mundo,

Y esto está muerto.

Identity Shift

This is from 1985. One of my favorites that we never got around to recording. Should we?

Who Will Dry Your Eyes 1985

This is another one from from 1985. Another favorite of mine that we never got around to recording. Should we? Comment. Your vote counts.

I Fall You Fall

Claude does a song for bringing in the new year. It was recorded with the help of family and friends at his sister's house, where all the chaos is. But he would not have it any other way. Have a happy new year... 

The New Year Song

Sitting down to breathe,
and in the corner is the perfect Christmas tree..
You have been through much, although the holiday
has blessed you with your friends …

Hey its OK, you will find your way again
another week to go..
All will be fine, you just give yourself some time
Another year to grow…

Have a happy New Year
Have a happy New Year

You’ll take down the tree
and if you want you could save a prayer for me
Let’s do a toast, to friendship and to hope
where love and peace still reign…

Have a happy New Year
Have a happy New Year

Now its time to breathe…
Time to make a stand..
Give it all you’ve got…
Be who you will be…

Have a happy New Year
Have a happy New Year
Have a happy New Year
Have a happy New Year

#NewYearSong

Once

This was entirely recorded in my old trusty MPC3000, including the vocals. Later they were all sequenced together with my T3 and old ESQ1. I assembled the song as a series of edits in Wavelab. 

We took a 45 second song and turned it into a 7 minute piece. Gary did some rapping, and voice scratching. I did some scratching on an old mono synth. 



45.1 (The Experimental Long Mix)

This was me messing about with a vocal sample on the VSS30. 

The Inner Voice

This is an early mix of the song, Who Will Dry Your Eyes, from the album Distances from Claude. This is a song by Anything Box from the old days. It got a fresh life on the new album. You can get the album from Fingerprints in Long Beach or CDBaby.com (2 CD Set). Of course, it is also available through iTunes or your favorite online store.

Abox - Who Will Dry Your Eyes

An instance where a song from The Diary (Page One) became a song for Anything Box as well.  From the Abox FREE EP | http://www.endpop.com/54ep.html  

If I had the tracks still, I would do this mix more justice, but the master was lost in a flood that consumed parts of the studio about ten years ago (leak in the ceiling went un-noticed and it seeped into a crate of old tapes). 

But at the very least I have this one and the original of course:

Anything Box | Because (Longer)

Always electronic, always with a little bit of angst, but always and all ways fun. The beats you want to see 1950s robots playing, but with the melodies of The Beatles, Radiohead, and Joy Division. Like a bastard child of the three perhaps. But no, no matter how hard or soft... It is always just Anything Box. You cannot predict us, but you may fall in love with us. That's the way we love you.
