Still an unused demo.  This is written for this modular patch focusing on hard-syncing two oscillators with inverted modulation for stereo imaging.

Simple 319 - Unfinished V01

The backbone of the track Unfolder is this thundering sound created by having two oscillators, split in stereo, taking turns gliding up and back down in pitch, in scale and very fast.  when the LFO controlling the modulation slows down you are in for a treat.

1999.  Gusgus in there last days in the breakbeatish era are touring Europe. There is a day off in Paris with nothing to do!  Good opportunity to ditch the singers and explore the live set, instrumental, at some Gay Club.  Includes probably the weirdest tribute to Patrick Cowley ever, called Megatron Mench.

In early 2001 Earth joined Gusgus. New musical direction was taken but the aim was still unclear.  The only thing known was that we wanted to move away from the triphop collective towards more club and electronical orientation.  Numerous exploration where tired and later the album Attention came to life as some mixture of house, 80's and soul.  You already know is one demo that was never finished.  It demonstrates the more house edge that was explored during that time.

The track Deep Inside was the only track that did not emerge from the "Summer House sessions" in the winter of 2009.  The first version was done as one of many ideas for Earth's track "Why you Wanna" later to be released on Gong Ho Records.  As Earth selected some other solution to her track an instrumental version was dropped for later thoughts.  At one of Daniels visit to the studio we where searching through some demos to see if any could be of use.  We picked this one and did some further experiments with it, adding the base line for example.  Much later Högni arrived at the stage adding his bit. Here are both these version, the original instrumental and the version that came out of the "With Daniel" experiments.

REMIX ALBUM "RONGORONGO" BY ME SUCCEEDS
WWW.MESUCCEEDS.DE

INFO:
"At first there was a remix:
For the first part of our Split Series „Hamburg“ the Hamburg based Band Me Succeeds made a remake of Arp Auberts „Actress“. In Return Arp Aubert, consisting of Mirau Label founder Stephan Lorenz, made a beautiful, dreamy remix for Me Succeeds „Riemerling“. Now the remixing goes on in full album length: After their latest long player „Rongorongo“ from 2011, which Me Succeeds released on their own imprint isawmusic, the band will return on Ki Records with a remix album. Eleven friends were invited to put their hands on the album’s tracks and give their interpretation. Besides a whole lot of danceable tracks you will also find some broken beats and spherical electronica here, which makes this release fit in perfectly in the Ki catalogue. Under the motto „never change a running system“ of course Arp Aubert once again had his hands on one of the tracks, turning „Rongorongo“ into a driving techno track which is underlined by the emotional vocals of lead-singer Mohna and beautiful melodies making this remix perfect for the early hours on the dancefloor. The Berlin based producer and DJ Iron Curtis gives the original of “Seventeen” a dubby note that is definitely special as he uses many vintage synthesizers-sounds and broken pieces of the original vocals to make this remix one of the strongest on this album. The last remix on the album was done by Greek musician Chronik, who turns „Books“ into a hymn with twisted rhythm and broken beats. It’s the perfect ending reminding us a lot of the recently on Ki released „Saints“ by Monokle. Apart from that, a few more great producers such as Tilmann Tausendfreund, Showing Off The Bling Bling, Christian Löffler, On Stop Off, My First Trumpet, Bug Lover and Suburb contributed to this Rongosium."

BIO:
The Icelandic band Gus Gus originally spawned from a shortcut made by Siggi Kjartansson and Stefán Árni (a.k.a. Arni & Kinski) called “Pleasure”. Initially the band was acclaimed as an avant-garde collective of musicians, producers, filmmakers and performers. They mixed together different mediums to create a unique mixture of sound and vision. Their trademark style is combined with funky bass, streamlined synths and the intelligent use of technology and art. Árni & Kinski did the visual part and the musical side was driven by Birgir Þórarinsson (a.k.a. Veiran), Stephan Stephenssen (a.k.a President Bongo), Magnús Guðmundsson (a.k.a. Herb Legowitz). The live band was fronted by singers Daníel Ágúst, Hafdís Huld and Magnús Jónsson (a.k.a. Blake).

Gus Gus is an electronic soul band formed in 1995. A short break in a making of the shortcut made it possible for the first Gus Gus self-titled album to be born. In 1996 the band signed to 4AD Records that released their widely acclaimed second album “Polydistortion”. "This Is Normal" followed in 1999 and finally "Gus Gus vs T-World" appeared in 2000. During the 4AD years, Gus Gus started touring massively, stirring the music world with their powerful live-show. The touring life was stressful for the nine some and eventually called for changes within the line up. Six original members left and the three remaining producers (Veiran, President Bongo and Herb Legowitz) soon found hope in a new female singer, Earth aka Urður Hákonardóttir. The band has ever since focused on being a musical entity. 

In 2002 Gus Gus re-appeared with their 4th studio album "Attention" which includes their most successful dance floor hit “David”. On the album the band teamed up with the legendary producer Gareth Jones and Finnish multi-instrumentalist Jimi Tenor. The album demonstrates a sharply focused club-band full of creativity and even more energetic than ever. Daníel Ágúst

Gus Gus released there 8th studio album, Mexico, on Kompakt, Germany in June 2014
