Released in 1968, Open My Eyes by Nazz is a prominent example of tape flanging. The song was a major inspiration to a couple of young men who, in 1971, went on to found Eventide and create the world’s first pro audio effects box, the Instant Phaser. This version of the song features the new Instant Phaser Mk II and Instant Flanger Mk II plug-ins available for AAX, VST and AU.

Open My Eyes (Edward Staszko Remix) Eventide Contest

Eventide Audio created this contest: They covered Nazz - OpenYour Eyes written by Todd Rundgren. "Remix this in any way, creative or traditional, but use at least the Instant Flanger or Instant Phaser." I used both.
I choose the traditional way; to create a 'perfect' mix.

[UPDATE]: The jury choose my mix as the best 'traditional'-version.
I'm so happy ;-)

Some details;
- claps moved 30 msec back in time (claps fx not)
- most tracks highpass filtered
- no conga's used (cluttered the mix)
- some volume/effect automation
- de-essing a bit (highs in the mix became a little too much)

Cast of Characters:

Mistermark – @user-432503709 – Mark – drums, VST upright bass, electric vibraphone, horns, high organ in the last section, percussion (shaker, hand claps), production, editing, mix, and composition

TexMex Shaman– @texmex-shaman –Stephen– Fender Custom Shop Tele Thinline electric guitar and mastering

J.J. Terrell-- @j-j-terrell—JJ-- organ, electric piano, synthesizer

Entheogenic Psychonaught (Josh Clary)– @josh-clary-1 –Josh – PRS semi hollow body electric guitar


This song began its life some 20 years ago recorded on Mark's old skool keyboard workstation as a bass line and drum beat, accentuated by a synth melody playing over some electric piano. It sat as that basic version until just recently, when Mark had gotten into horn arrangements, and wanted to try some out, thus creating the impetus for reviving this old tune. Plus, he wanted to get the Eclectic Collective to play the guitar and keys parts on it for a little extra jazzy pizzazz.
  He turned it over to the rest of the EC gang with a pretty clear vision of what he wanted structurally. Stephen was first up, adding his driving guitar to the fist part of every verse. Josh deftly chimed in with the response line in every verse. JJ then came into the mix last and sprinkled his magic electric piano and other keys throughout. After all of our parts were in the can, Mark went to work dutifully editing and mixing what you hear as the final product. Stephen then did his pro mastering work on it to add a little bit more shine.
 This was a lot of fun to put together. It doesn't feature all of the EC, but the other guys will be on many upcoming creations. We hope you enjoy listening to this as much as we enjoyed creating it.

THE LOTION — Part Three: The Song  // meets Lo-Fi Vol. 1

Hold your ground
The waves will try to take you under
Hear me out
for I am now the only one here

I want you to scream louder
tell me you need power

The waves will try to take you under

Yes, this is AI. And if you complain, please include your email address so I can send you some photos of shit.

You know
When I explained
To my mother
Each and every bruise
Then told her
I get em
Cuz of the clothes
That I choose

And these things
To help me see
These cheap
Fucking glasses
Are the reasons
I took a beating
After all of my classes

But one day
Some bully
Called me
His bitch
Then I saw my future
And I said
No
I'm gonna be rich

You think you got
The strength
Of Fucking freight trains
But you're gonna suffer
Cuz you got no Fucking brains

Cuz I just had a flash
Of the future
You see
And I just saw your ass
Working for me

And mother fucker
It wasn't pretty
For you
And I'll let you know now

I know exactly what I'm gonna do

I'm gonna make life
Hell for you

You may not have noticed
You may not have heard
But life is very very hard

And I am

A nerd

You're confused
It seems
So let me tell you
Exactly what that means

And then the whole school listened

On that day

To the visions

I had to say

You laugh at me
Cuz i get good grades
While you experiment
With drugs
And discovered
Getting laid
But have you not realized
We gonna need to get paid

And I know a thing or two
One day I order a big mac
I will see some of you
Looking all beat
Looking unhappy
Cooking their meat
Living real crappy

When I grab my order
I say thanks, cool
Hey ain't you that fool
I knew in high school
And then i take off my shades
And then it's like bam
They suddenly remember
Who i am

I just say
Yeah. Mother fucker
Ain't it funny
You slave away
While I got sooooooo

So much fucking money

I tried to warn you
About the ways of this nation
It's all about the cash
Don't piss away your education

And give me some
Fucking ketchup too
I'm fucking
Done with you

Now
I remember all your names
Very well
And I really do want
To make you all taste hell
I scan the job applications
For me it's fun
And if I recognize your name
I tell H R
I want that one

I say
Tell that man
He qualifies
To clean my toilet
Until he dies
Ask him what he needs
For his pay
Then say I'm sorry
There's no fucking way
And then offer him
Much much less
And his uniform
Will be a dress

And if he ever says
A word to me
I will fire him
Immediately

Cuz
That one
His mom died from cancer
That one
His dad was a dancer
And these ones, I think
We're very very young
When they started to drink
And these ones
I know do meth
So hire them all
Then work them to death

And tell them
They better start to pray
Because once they're hired here
It'll be the last fucking day
Of a life they can ever enjoy
Because now
They have become my toys
I'm still so angry
Their lives i will destroy

Over so many years
When I see them
Walk my halls
I'll laugh at their tears

And
Maybe I will take
A shit
And say
You
Go clean it

And
If you like your job
Take my advice
Send me a report
On why it smells nice

And
Do you remember me from class?

Also
A report

On why
You should not

Have kicked my ass

And I'm sorry
This
I must do
Christmas bonus
For everyone

But you

Yes

That

Is what I'm gonna do

Once they heard
My fucking words
No one
Ever fucked
With the nerds

Hahahahahaha

Omen Of The Nerd

This is AI. I made a version with my xylophone but AI did it much better and my singing really fucking sucks.

Wellllllllllllll

Hell

Yes

That iiiiiiiiiiiiiii
Really must say
I've had me
A
Badddddddddddd
Fucking day

Yes yes yes
I am officially
Very very bored
And my drug dealer
Is also my land lord

Mother fucker
Stopped by to me
And said
Hey Mother fucker

I got me
Some
L S Fucking
D

And I put down the bong
And said

I'll take twenty sheets

He stopped and spoke
What you say
Mother fucker
Youuuuuuuuuuu
Just made
My mother fucking day

I said
Its okay
I really do
Make a lot of pay
But
My boss he is a jerk
So these twenty sheets

I'm eating them
Before work
And this
I will say
Tomorrow
May be my last
Fucking day

He looked at me
And said
I'll pray

I just said
Mannnnnnnnnnnnnn
I don't mean to be
Fucking lame
But once I eat
All these twenty sheets

I will never be the same

So I woke up
Ate em for breakfast
And I don't remember
How I got to my desk
The computer
Became a monster
Am I wearing a dress?

I called the boss
And said
Today is just gonna be
A total fucking mess
But I assure you
I will try my best

But is
There something
I can ask you, man

Why's the secretary
Shitting in the trash can

And when did you hire
Aliens from space
Smoking paperclips
Pissing purple
All over the place
And is that a trombone
Protruding from Mary's face

Boss I think
I made a mistake
I'm gonna take a coffee break

But boss
Tell me
Is my office chair
Made of your wife's
Pubic hair

He said
What the fuck
I'd like to speak to you
I said
I'm sorry boss
That I cannot do
Because
Underneath my feet
There is no floor
Understand you fucking pig
The floor
Ain't there no more

And all these flying angels
New colors and stars
I don't know what the fuck
They are

Every body's faces
Are starting to melt
I beat the janitor
With my belt

The stapler
Is calling my name
The pencils
Are doing the same

All of the lights
I can't understand
And everyone
Looks like the same man

Boss
Can you help me
I'm scared

Then I gave him praise
I slipped some acid
In his coffee

And today I got a raise

And my boss
He made it so clear
I'm on fucking paid vacation
For a whooooooole
Fucking year

That was
Over fifteen years
For me

And I'm still
Tripping balls
From the twenty
Sheets
Of
L S D

Twenty Sheets Before Work
