Depeche Mode - Freelove (Danmann Remix)

This week's Disquiet Junto prompt challenged us to a duel with a metronome: record a piece of music that weaves in and out of a steady beat. 

I assembled a trio comprising the Moog Minitaur (lead and bass), Roland Juno (pads), and Waldorf Streichfett (strings). I improvised a meandering chord sequence and spent a lot of time mixing multiple layers of analog pads to bring it to life. Against the steady backdrop of a simple percussion pattern, I recorded the lead performance on the Minitaur. Since this synth doesn't sync to the MIDI clock on the computer, riding the LFO controls manually let me improvise the swirling/cycling/beating patterns that dance within, against, and without the beat. 

About the vocals: When I was listening to the mix earlier today, I heard a momentary audio artifact that sounded like a muffled voice. This inspired me to add a vague vocal part for way back in the mix, so recorded myself reading an excerpt from "A Vision of the Night" by Ambrose Bierce.

Depeche Mode - Shine (eladsof new-year's remix)

Thanks for reviews, dear friends. I replaced the previous track by a .wav
Just subtil changes: more compression to my vocals at certain points, and strings from Korg 'killed' :))) Yes, sorry but  I was not convinced of that arrangement :))
Hard work with audio technician today. I will upload my acapellas to Rapidshare, for eventual new versions that Josh would want to make, perhaps. ;)

Lyrics female part:

Desolation...
Stigma
Stigma...
Love Desolation


You could have been
that ideal love for me...
but you still need to walk the road
of self-harm
and rejection.

Dangerous

Love Desolation

Dangerous - Depeche Mode [Josh Molot & Lea Rossetti, Mash-up edited] WAV file

Lyrics:

Just give me a reason
some kind of sign
I'll need a miracle
to help me this time

I heard what you said
and I feel the same
I know in my heart
that I'll have to change

Even the stars are brighter tonight
Nothing's impossible
I still believe in love at first sight
Nothing's impossible

How did we get to be this far apart
How did we get to be this far apart
I want to be with you, something to share
I want to be here, I'm not here

Even the stars...
