this makes me want to melt into a puddle of feels

I tried to keep the original feel of the sound/song... ie this is NOT an "electro" remix.  This is me combining 4 versions of this track (YYY studio and acoustic version, arcade fire version and ted leo version), re arranging, and keeping drums/fx at an EXTREME minimal.  This is more about subtlety than most of my remixes, and about bringing the visions of multiple talented artists together to one new vision that -hopefully- retains the original feel of all.

Yeah Yeah Yeahs vs Arcade Fire vs Ted Leo vs Sad Music for Happy Humans - Maps (Wee Sing Remix) 2013

A French Canadian lass sings of of the duality of sad and happy, and how life just is.  Nevyn manipulates and does everything else.  

Saudade - The Warm Turtle

Yan Qin played by Nevyn Nowhere. Vocals by Ok Sun Lee.  FX/etc Nevyn Nowhere

01 Tears in Time

Most of the vocal samples are from field recordings Nevyn recorded on a visit to New Orleans.  He recorded an old couple living on the waterfront, making their moonshine, playing bucket drums and telling stories.  A few others are from another couple of folks Nevyn met in New Orleans, a reknowned local guitarist and another storyteller....

The Dulcimer was played by Nevyn, the drums were Played by Cult of Zir and altered by Nevyn.
Production/synth/etc by Nevyn

02 Golden Hours Slip By

Bit of a hip hop glitch beat to it.  Very melodic.  Used a mutated clip of a female voice to create a melody.  Fairly catchy.

03 Sometimes a Great Notion

A little dark, a little dirty, a little silly.  Surprisingly tribal at points.  Lotsa freakout on the slide whistle fun... Allegorically would be playing that bop the mole/gophers game with the your inner demons as the moles/gophers.  To me anyway; have fun with your inner darkness!

Hysteric primal screams - Nevyn

06 Time Come to Life

Weird sounds and noises over a dreamstep style of beat with a fat moog synth line.  "It's definitely a discharge process"

Vocals - NASA
Production/synths/drums - Nevyn

08 A Small Segment of Time

An overall very chill/hopeful/nice dream sort of vibe, with moments of frenetics and a dash of DnB here and there.
