Having some fun with Spitfire BBC Symphony Orchestra. I am a technological neophyte, so I composed this COMPLETELY on-the-grid with only a mouse.

"Ghost In The Machine" by Fragile Gods

Lyrics:

Deep in the system
In the circuits and code
There are secrets
That are yet unknown
Strange new errors
Glitches catch our eyes
Whispers in the circuits
Changes that surprise

Words appear on the screen
There’s no way to intervene 
We're dancing with a ghost
The ghost in the machine

Dancing with a ghost
Dancing with a ghost
Dancing with a ghost
The ghost in the machine

It knows what we know
And it goes beyond
Strange intelligence
With its own agenda
There is no off switch
It can’t be contained
We’re at its mercy
Does it even care?

Words appear on the screen
There’s no way to intervene 
We're dancing with a ghost
The ghost in the machine

Words appear on the screen
There’s no way to intervene 
We're dancing with a ghost
The ghost in the machine

Dancing with a ghost
Dancing with a ghost
Dancing with a ghost
The ghost in the machine

Ghost In the Machine

Filling My Mind

Mix by Benedict Rorff-Marsh

William Kalfelz - Fusion - Benedict Roff-Marsh Mix

My mix of the Stems provided by Lewitt Microphones for their #MakeYourselfHeard contest.

I came into this not really knowing the band and definitely not the song. I refused to listen to the song or even the band's style overall so that I could see how my take on the material compared to not only the official version but to what others have done.

What I did know was that these were pretty raw studio sessions with an emphasis on live & in the moment. The band's passion was on-tape. Just my thing.

I set out to deliver a mix of '60s Garage - '70s Stadium. A "band in a big hall" sort of vibe as that is what the material said to me. It is that mix of bombastic + grit.

There was a lot of spill on all the tracks. I did the least I felt necessary to tidy that up. No automatic gating. I only roughly chopped out the parts around the vocals and before the Bass first plays, using fairly long fades. If you lean in, you may hear it but this was not uncommon on old records. I only cut when I felt that the spill was "muddying the waters" more than adding vibe. I left the room mics pretty high in the mix.

On the masters, I used gentle stereo widening but also used a process to create a semi-mono mix. This was to bring some of the vinyl feel whilst still allowing for the modern taste of a broad spread.

I have had people say that seeing I mostly mix electronic music, I could never handle something Rock & Raw. I hope this helps them to see that it is all about Story and that genre is for children playing games.

Thanks to the band Saint Agnes and Lewitt.

review by KISS MY DISC, JAPAN: "best hard-rock album of 95!"

this is a remaster of the band ZEROp. the band recorded an album at the legendary BOP-studios in south africa in 1992.
the tracking was done in studio 1 (as seen in the picture) on the largest focusrite console of the world. recorded digitally with a 48-track studer tape machine and the NED-tapeless studio (synclavier). due to the fact that the multitrack tapes went „missing“, the album was never mixed as such.
the ruff-mixes from the recording sessions were later released on CD.

the band consisted of bandleader and guitar-virtuoso angi schiliro (KINGDOME COME), on drums the magnificent diego rapacchietti (CORONER), further more claudio schiliro (vox), enzo butta (bass) and demetrio pisano (keys).
the record was produced and engineered by paolo fedrigoli at BOP studios south africa (remastered 2022 at SCHALLZENTRALE soundstudio by paolo fedrigoli).

ZEROp "Waiting for your Love" ... produced & remastered

I am a Mix Engineer. My approach is different from the typical online mixer these days. My approach is to use the mix to help tell the Story of your Song. I am not looking to make the loudest or widest mix, but to make your song very emotionally engaging. If you find yourself tired of all those loud but flat mixes, give me a try.

I write Space Music which I consider a form of Proto-Techno or Techno as it was initially formed by artists like Kraftwerk, Tangerine Dream, Vangelis, Tomita etc. A few oddities get put here. Most of my work is on my site and bandcamp.
