It is Monday and that means that I'm presenting a brand new version of an Interbay track that was previously shared on Facebook (where I would end up posting 140 tracks, each with its own music video) from January 2023 to May 2024.    

I refer to this process as RRR:  Rethink, Remake, Remix.  But, sometimes, there's not all that much rethinking, remaking...and it might only need a few tweaks to lift the old track the standards and expectations that I have for tracks that I post here, on SoundCloud.  Maybe an instrumental needs a vocal element.  Maybe a track just needs a remaster.  

However, today's exclusive remix of what had been "Experiment 8" (or "Rubber Band Bounce") definitely needed more attention than that.  I think this may be the best example of a truly Rethought, Remade, Remix of a previous Interbay experiment.    

The arrangement is very different, the sound palette has changed (probably the most memorable element of the original Experiment 8 mix was the crisp bell/pluck lead sound...and one of the first things I did when getting under the hood was to change that sound!  It forced me to reconsider the strengths of the track and to rebuild it into something new.  

No more bouncing rubber bands, this track is now about someone wearing his sunglasses at night, someone who belongs to the city, someone who finds comfort in just getting in his car and going.  (Where?  It doesn't matter.  Sometimes, you just need to get out of where you are and where your head is at.)  

Though the influence of the 80s new wave is undeniable on this track (which features both a Linn Drum AND an 808, sometimes at the same time), I don't think it is a paint-by-numbers synthwave track.  It's got a herky-jerky, start-stop thing to it that breaks the constant rhythmic flow that I've noticed in most modern synthwave tracks.  

In other words, instead of synthwave...what I've made here is...more Interbay.  

For the vocal element, I wanted to try my hand at turning a spoken word vocal take and turning it, with plugins, into a sung vocal take.  (It should be possible with the tools I have available to me--but I've never actually done it before.)  

...and I didn't do it this time, either.  For one thing, I thought the vibe of the spoken word track worked well within the context of the track as it was.  And, for another thing, I ran smack dab into the learning curve...and I realized that I'd need to fiddle and fiddle...which would make it difficult to post this track today.  

As Lorne Michaels would say, "the show doesn't go on because it is ready...the show goes on because it is 11:30."  (Trust me, that IS a relevant quote...and IYKYK.)    

I like how this turned out.  I hope you do, too!  As always, I can only ask that you give it a listen and a like.  And I can remind you that you could repost it, share it, playlist it, and/or comment on it if you feel so moved.  

And, most importantly, I would strongly encourage you to FOLLOW this page.  There's new Interbay dropping EVERY SINGLE DAY (so far!) and we're not that far away from reaching the 600th consecutive day with an Interbay track posting here on SoundCloud.  You certainly won't be bored nor will you lack for a consistent flow of new content.  So, go ahead...give us a follow!  

Pop this into your car's cassette deck and head out to the highway, you've got nothing to lose at all!
