Moby   -   Richard Melville Hall/USA   -   Ambient Electronic

for the last 25 years i've been consistently inspired by a lot of the electronic music that's come out of detroit.  so to honor that inspiration and tradition i've made this experimental electronic version of 'a case for shame' and named it 'honor detroit version'

A Case For Shame (Honor Detroit Remix)

First to start with the title, Victoria Lucas was Sylvia Plath’s pseudo name when she wrote ‘The Bell Jar’. I keep going on bay, trying to find an original copy of ‘The Bell Jar’ written by Victoria Lucas and they show up every now and then but they are very pricy. 

A lot of the titles in the record are inspired by either my favourite writers or works by my favourite writers and this one it’s an instrumental. So there is always that question when you write an instrumental, what do you call it? So why not name it after one of my favourite writers? 

The way I write, composing or compiling a song, I start with one arbitrary, decontextualised element and in this case it was a backwards guitar loop. I have a foot switch where you play something into it, you push a button, and it takes what you played and plays it backwards but really lo-fi. I was playing guitar onto it and I ended up with this really weird sounding guitar loop that doesn’t sound like a guitar loop, I recorded that and started adding different elements. 

At first it was this very slow ballad like song and then I added house music drums to it, and house piano to it and ended up with this weird hodgepodge of quiet, disconcerting, atmospheric elements with house music elements. I hope it works. 

The guitar loop for Victoria Lucas was recorded here in New York. I was just living with the guitar loop listening to it over and over again. I had this terrible case of insomnia in Los Angeles. I was staying in a hotel there and so I started adding the quiet atmospheric elements to the song when I was in L.A. and I brought everything back to New York and turned it into a weird messed up, house music song.

Something About Us

(Verse)
You got me love; 
the feeling’s getting harder to hide
It’s obvious; instead I keep it bottled inside
It’s all because I’m waiting til’ the timing is right
Travel sights on random flights; you by my side.
It’s no surprise you got a man
But I see u giving mixed signals, like you wanna take a chance
I’m tryna play my hand; You tryna stay true
When there’s something about us I’d like to share with you
Cherish you, care for you in every way
I wanna be the reason that you smile everyday
Your style is amazing; I ain’t tryna complicate things but, the way things seem, I may be…
Lately we been way to close
Guilty grin when u can’t say no...Maybe you need to let things go
When you’re ready baby, let me know…Let me know

Chorus

It might not be the right time
I might not be the right one
But there’s something about us I want to say’Cuz there’s something between us anyway
I might not be the right one
It might not be the right time
But there’s something about us I’ve got to do
Some kind of secret I will share with youI need you more than anything in my life
I want you more than anything in my life
I’ll miss you more than anyone in my life
I love you more than anyone in my life

Factory

it takes weeks, even years, to write a song, but when moby was challenged to write and record a song in just 2 days by us radio station npr, he surprised everyone by having the track finished in just 8 hours!   he and collaborator kelli scarr had so much time left over, they recorded a second version of the song. and after that, they gave a small concert for the radio station staff. 

moby generally works alone in his new york apartment, but for npr’s challenge, he was asked to bring along a collaborator. he picked kelli scarr, a brooklyn-based singer-songwriter with a breathtaking voice who features on the title track from moby’s recent album ‘wait for me’.

next, they were given a series of words to chose from. moby picked the word "flight." scarr chose "sunday.”

from here, moby puts the card with the word "sunday" printed on it, along with the photograph, on a nearby chair, picks up a bass guitar and immediately starts to play a riff in the key of e. this hastily played bass line becomes the bedrock for their new song.  following this, the multi-instrumentalist adds guitar, keys, drums, and finally he and kelli write and record the vocals. just eight hours after arriving at the studio, “gone to sleep" is recorded. 


Gone To Sleep (Acoustic Version)

On May 17th, Moby will release 'Wait For Me. Remixes!', an album consisting of reworked versions of tracks from the critically acclaimed 'Wait For Me', released through Moby’s label 'Little Idiot' last year. Moby has enlisted some of dance music's biggest names for the project including Tiesto, Laidback Luke, Gui Boratto, and Carl Cox.

Seven Lions SoundCloud: http://soundcloud.com/jeff-montalvo

As Seven Lions, Montalvo is a natural at spanning all genres. However, it is his remix of Above & Beyond and Zoe Johnston’s “You Got To Go” which served as his breakout hit and introduction to the EDM world.

“I won the official remix competition, which is how I got involved with Above & Beyond. I don’t know if they were expecting the track to do as well as it did. But it definitely got their attention, and now they’re wanting to work with me more."

That the remix “did well” is an understatement — typical of the soft-spoken Montalvo. The meteoric track sat at #2 on Beatport's Dubstep chart for over 6 weeks, second only to Skrillex's remix of Levels, with hundreds of thousands of listens across Youtube. And since winning the competition, several other artists from Above & Beyond's label, Anjunabeats, have begun talks in working with Seven Lions and his melodic take on dubstep.

Flume - Left Alone feat. Chet Faker (Ta-ku Remix)

In celebration of 2013’s Record Store Day, moby and @MarkLanegan have collaborated on an exclusive track to be released as a limited edition 7” on 20th April. The Lonely Night 7” comes backed with a remix from electronic music legend @photek and is being released on moby’s own label Little Idiot. The track is also now available as a digital download and stream.

moby on collaborating with Mark Lanegan: 

"i've been a fan of mark's from his early sst records days, and i've always wanted to work with him. he has one of the best and most distinctive voices of the last 25 years. now that we live near each other it ended up being really easy working on a song together."

moby on producing of The Lonely Night: 

“…And in producing the song, spike stent and i incorporated some very unusual production techniques... we ran all of the instruments through a distortion pedal into a guitar amp. so really there are only 3 tracks: left channel through a distortion pedal and guitar amp, right channel through a distortion pedal and guitar amp, and mark's vocals.  The end result is intentionally very broken and atmospheric."

Colin Rich a LA based director who specializes in time-lapse photography has been commissioned to shoot the video to accompany The Lonely Night.  The video features both moby and Mark Lanegan and flits between the desolate and far removed terrain of the Californian desert and the endless electric city expanse of Los Angeles.
