les Frenchy

A remix of Postmodern Jukebox's remix of Rhianna's song 'Only girl in the world'. I took some of the piano elements and the usable vocals from their version for this.

The story I made for this song is that a man goes to a jazz bar and doesn't enjoy it. He then zones in and out during songs, making up his own music in his head as a sort of entertainment. I would like to state that I quite enjoy jazz bars and that this is just an idea. It was going to be a full blown album, but unfortunately I have run out of time to make the rest of it in the foreseeable future.

I think the hardest thing about this track was working with highly swung rhythms and trying to make them work with the track I was remixing. There was a lot of masking of straight rhythms in favor of swing. I liked the jazz vibe with the drums as it inspired me to work a lot more with the rhythms of snares and be a bit more experimental / adventurous. I didn't feel bound to any sort of structure, not that I should when I'm making music or try to be normally, but I think every producer does to some extent, even if it's only small.

I really enjoyed making the soundscapes for this, so working with the numerous clap tracks, voice tracks, and so on. Panning different tracks and making sound real was a challenge, not that I think I pulled it off entirely, but I did OK. I highly recommend www.freesound.org to anyone looking for user submitted recordings of sounds. A brilliant and free resource! 

I wrote some of the piano parts in this and all of the rhodes. I tried to match the piano sound of the remix to my vst piano, and this was a challenge and a half. If you listen carefully, well not even carefully (it's pretty damn obvious - especially in the solo), you can tell which is which. 

Hope you enjoy
