Last year I posted an extended remake/rework/remix/reproduction of one of my all time favorite album "sides", Pink Floyd The Wall, Side 3. At the time, I left off the first two tracks, Hey You and Is There Anybody Out There. Just for fun, I decided to revisit the project, and go ahead and include the omissions to complete the collection! 

A multitude of digital means and methods were used to recreate these iconic tunes (which were originally done in analog, of course!). All vocals are 100% redone. Here's how everything else came together:

Hey You- Full reproduction, using some predone MIDI sequences, as well as my own playing and programming. I put flesh on the bones using a variety of synths and samplers. Joined on vocals by my Floydian friend and singing partner Tone Hjelt

Is There Anybody Out There?- Pretty much same as above! Used some predone MIDI sequences, some  my own playing/programming, and put a touch of the original instrumental track under the opening drone swell to enhance the sound. 

Nobody Home- A full reproduction I actually did a couple of years ago. All instruments and vocals are done from scratch, except for the original background sounds.

Vera- Also a full reproduction, all instruments/vocals newly done from scratch, with a revised arrangement from original.

Bring The Boys Back Home- Full reproduction, using East/West orchestral software, NI Kontakt, and my trusty Korg Kronos.

Comfortably Numb- My lead vocals recorded over reworked, predone instrumental backing track, including an layered alternate melody part (done by David Bowie in a live performance with David Gilmour). No pre-recorded BGV's on this one, all the vocs you hear are mine. Instrumentally, I again layered several synths/strings over the existing tracks to enhance and embellish the sound.

Anyone familiar with these tracks will recognize the interlude/background sounds from the original. I did a bit of remixing and added enhancements on these as well to make them stand out a bit more.

Everything I recorded was done via synthesizers, samples, and sequencing. All in all, a very fun and definitely challenging project! Didn't try to reinvent the wheel here, just tried to polish up the rims a bit, and create a more immersive listening experience for these timeless and iconic tunes!

Hope you enjoy my tribute. Mad props to PF for this enduring masterpiece!!

Port Charm

Written by James Geer

A bell and a whistle
A truck with a ladder to climb 
A carpet to play on
And nearby a grownup to mind
A doll and a squirt gun
A toy chest with wonders to find

Just ten more minutes
Then off to the bedroom to sleep
The rote incantation regarding
Our souls for to keep
Beds tucked and lights out
And counting of numerous sheep

Dreams of a party with
Candles alight on a cake
Marching toy soldiers
And dragons that
Make the earth quake
Fantastic journeys
But all of it gone once awake

Dreaming

TITLE: YOU KEEP ME ON A STRING
_____________________________________________________________________
LYRICS:
(Verse 1)
You pull
You push
You play
You tease
I’m caught
I’m tied
I’m begging please
A little closer
Then you’re gone
A spark
A flame
It lingers on

(Pre-chorus)
You twist
You turn
You make me sing
I can’t escape
You keep me on a string

(Chorus)
On a string
On a string (ooh-yeah!)
You pull me back
You let me swing
On a string
On a string (don’t let go!)
Tension’s fire
It makes me glow

(Verse 2)
The tighter you hold
The harder I fall
A dance of control
You’ve got it all
Whispers of heat
A dangerous game
The fire burns
But who’s to blame?

[Prechorus]
You twist
You turn
You make me sing
I can’t escape
You keep me on a string

(Chorus)
On a string
On a string (ooh-yeah!)
You pull me back
You let me swing
On a string
On a string (don’t let go!)
Tension’s fire
It makes me glow

You Play So Tight

You Keep Me On A String
