Old track from 2001!!! Just testing out this SoundCloud business... ;-)
Available to buy on i-Tunes if you really fancy it :-)

SHADOWS OF THE NIGHT

This is a remix I knocked out for my good friend Thom at Cloudcub. Ghost Story is a track on Cloudcub's new album Little Noises Big Sounds, available now.
I really like a lot of the tracks on this new album, but when Thom asked me which one I'd like to remix, I had to think carefully. I wanted a track that had a catchy hook that I could work around in my own style - so many tracks on the album are great as they are, with their own vibe and mood, I didn't think I could remix them satisfactorily. Ghost Story, however, has this great big dirty distorted guitar riff that is fantastic and really got me excited, plus lots of other sounds and textures (vocals, harmonica, bass drones... so much to work with).
The original track is 80bpm but I wanted this remix to be around 130bpm, so that was fun! In the end, I'm happy with the result, especially as I had to turn it around quite quickly (makes a nice change from my obsessive perfectionism, forever tweaking away). The only thing I regret is quickly running the mix through a peak limiter before handing over the finished work, and smashing it a bit too much!! Oops. ;)
Hope you enjoy it, and do check out the original track!

A bit of fun during a synthesis class. This was a special request on the day...

A bit of fun during a recent Synthesis class - Gangnam Style intro done with simple Logic ES1 synth.
