I was trying to get back into the habit of music making after weeks of doing nothing, and scrolling through my ''Reason Projects'' folder i found this. I have absolutely no memory of making this tune at all! I can tell you that the main spoken word sample is from the 80's version of ''Dune'', and the robotic voice is something i programed in Fruity Loops nearly a decade ago and left in my sample folder. Other than that i am clueless. But looking at the project i think i must have done it over a year ago when Reason was still new to me. So, overall, i'm fine with this. It sounds good to me here. But then shit always does until i upload it. So let's see what wrong with this now then.

Zero Recall (Where Are My Feelings?)

''Zero Recall (Where Are My Feelings?)''

So i sent the original version of this into the last URL Show shoutout, and DeeJay Jones asked if he could remix it. I sent him the stems, and about 36 hours later he sent me this back. I'm amazed by the workflow as much as the quality. I'm gonna remix one of his tunes, but have warned him that i am usually as lazy as it's possible to be! Ah well.

Zero Recall (DeeJay Jones Remix)

''Zero Recall'' (DeeJay Jones Remix)

The talented and prolific DeeJay Jones recently remixed one of my tunes, and he was also kind enough to send me the very well organised stems of one of his tunes, so that i could try to remix him as well.
.
I think that i ended up keeping most of the original structure of his tune, but replaced most of his sounds. I did keep his snare and a couple of soundbites, while also adding my own. And i also kept his breaks, builds, and his crash cymbal. I usually suck at doing high-hats, but i think i came up with something O.K. here for once.
.
The soundbite i added was the character Morbius, from the old Sci-Fi classic "This Island Earth", saying "You may consider me a devil or a saint. But what's important is that you are here" to the two humans that he has kidnapped from Earth, just as they are setting of for the aliens home planet. So i have called this remix "Devil Or Saint" simply because at the time of uploading it just slipped my mind what DeeJay Jones original tune was called! (Sorry!!)
.
What's odd is that i usually go for a dirty and heavy kick drum, while DeeJay Jones taste is often much cleaner. But the stems that he sent me had a dirty, distorted kick drum, which i then swopped out for something much more ordinary (albeit swimming in noise and atmosphere).
.
I would have extended one of the sections by about eight bars. But there were some issues with VST demos, and i am not fond of some of the recent changes in Audacity. So rather than start the whole project all over again, i thought it was O.K. to upload as it is for now. I can always tweak it some more when my ears have had a little break from it!  :-)

If anyone else in The Clown Army is interested in remixing each other then just message me here on Soundcloud, as i don't do social media any more.

Devil Or Saint

Badd Badger V's DeeJay Jones - ''Devil Or Saint''

Enough people mentioned that the kick and rumble were drowning everything else out. So i've gone back to the project and spent five minutes tweaking some levels.

''Kill 'Em Dead'' (W.I.P, Test Upload)

Featuring tons of sirens and soundbites from "Ten Dollar Death Trip", a Netflix documentary about the opioid epidemic in Canada and North America.

To quote our lord Lemmy, "STAY CLEAN!"

Hastings Shuffle (W.I.P.)

The Hastings Shuffle (W.I.P.)

Challenge 1: Remix ''Crater'' by DeeJayJones
Challenge 2: Remix whatever was number one on your 21st birthday (in my case ''Eternal Flame'' by The Bangles)
So i give you the ''2 Birds, 1 Stone Mix''

Badd Badger V's DeeJayJones V's The Bangles - ''Eternally Flaming Crater'' (2 Birds 1 Stone Mix)

Nowhere near finished. If any of the Clown Army want the stems, just ask.

Shut It Down

''Shut It Down'' (Very Ruff Arrangm3n+)

WORK IN PROGRESS!!!
.
The kick drum sounded huge on headphones, but now i think it sounds a bit flappy on speakers, what do y'all think? Also, it def needs another element, especialy during the mid section and onwards. I might ask my ''Bandmate'' for some guitar stems. Or maybe Sibby can send me something at last? Who knows, or dares to dream?
.
And another thing, i have no idea how or why the fade out is about three times longer than i meant it to be. Ah well, it'll give Clownie-Boi something to rant about i guess.
