EP.22 - JONNY GREENWOOD

In the album version of the song Videotape there is a ever-shifting drum loop that sounds like a passing train. When I listened to this song 10 years ago for the first time, I wondered how Radiohead created this sound and what effects they used. Strangely they never play this drum loop live in the way they did it in the studio, Phil just plays this part on his drums and Jonny just plays his TR-909.

Recently, I've been researching the live version of this song and I noticed that Ed sometimes uses a delay effect to create the lush guitar pad effect and the delay effect he uses is not perfectly on the beat (watch: https://youtu.be/q9RnH6iXQvw?t=2m14s). I did a version of myself and you can here the guitar part at the beginning of this track. 

I found out that if this offset delay effect is applied to a simple drum track, and with fine tweaked delay offset, feedback and EQ, the drum loop can be recreated. So I made a demo for this "discovery" of mine. Changing the delay parameters makes this drum loop shift just like the album version.

It feels good when you dig out some smart shit out of the masterpiece you listen to everyday after 10 years.

Videotape Delay Demo

The form of an object, outside the dream, is beholden to the dreamer. But as somnolence dawns and the dream’s tapestry takes shape, the object’s true nature blooms like a night flower with tranquil hues unreal, lulling the dreamer deeper still.

Forms, as a series of musical collections, opts for measured themes unique to each edition. Meditative, with carefully constructed folds, the compilation is sewn together with the intent to capture, and make tangible, concepts in motion.

For the third  edition  of our compilation series, we invited twelve artists to find their voice between ambient and folk stylings to capture the ethereal, macabre panorama of lullabies. Gentle in force and colored by soaring, haunting melodies, each composition straddles restful fantasy and a calm, quiet alertness.

New artists to the series Stefanie Santana, Clare Wieck, Genevieve Artadi (of KNOWER), and Rushing Silver hide somber undertones beneath beautiful melodies where Neck, Zenizen, Fishdoll, and Real Clothes channel baroque ballads. In contrast, label mainstays Sontag Shogun, Annabel (lee), and Tom Terrien align with the likes of film composer Zoe Polanski to score soulful, languid landscapes through swaying, minimal structures at a gentle pace.

Spanning 12 pieces over 46 minutes, “Occult Lullabies” nudges the threshold of waking life. The comprising voices, though disparate in origin, find a spiritual connection within an amalgamation of joy, solemnity, and nurturing.
