PROBLEMATIC

This is the second "Rethink Remake Remix"--an attempt to bring some of the earliest Interbay tracks up to the standards I enforce on the material I post here on SoundCloud.  This was originally "Experiment 2"--shared to Facebook in January 2023, but this is the first time this remix has ever been shared.  

I was still very new to FL Studio when this song formed in the rather meager initial version of Phantom Laboratories West.  My arrangements were simple, I used a lot of stock plugins, and, frankly I didn't know what I was doing.  But, I thought this was better than Experiment 1 (the RRR version of which dropped here a week ago, called "End of Eternity.")  

At the time it was posted on Facebook, it was an instrumental and it featured a video, made by me, for it--as all of the 140 tracks that were posted onto Facebook before I started posting exclusively (for now) on SoundCloud.  I was as green to video production as I was to laptop music production, and I hadn't even figured out that I wasn't limited to sequential still images yet.  (I was using Premier Rush at the time and literally was using it without having done any research on how it works--I'd try something and...there's my video.)    

My conceit for the video was that I would use large Impact font text to indicate what instrument was playing at that very moment (not all of them, that would be madness--but enough to get the vibe I wanted.)  So, when rethinking Experiment 2 for this RRR for SoundCloud, I leaned into the video conceit--and turned those descriptor cards into the vocals...using a glitchy filtered robot voice to do so.  

I think it works with vaguely electro music that iti s supporting.  

Once again, I do think this shows that the music I'm making now is stronger in structure and execution than the music I made two years ago...but, in the innocence and wonder of those early days, there's still something there...and I'm glade that this track got the Rethink, Remake, Remix treatment and that I can share it with you, here, now.  

(Not EVERY track posted originally to Facebook deserves the RRR treatment--for example, I will NOT be trying to salvage Experiment 3...which is more of a joke than a piece of music.  I was trying to sound less electronic and more like I was playing real life instruments...and testing to see if I could, basically, "jam" with myself.  I don't think there's any rescue possible for Experiment 3.  (I wasn't ever planning on going "in order" and do every track in an RRR way.  But I thought the first 2 Interbay Experiments deserved to be the first 2 RRR tracks shared here on SoundCloud.)    

Let me know what you think of this track.  Give it a listen and give it a like if you do.  

Do these RRR tracks interest you?  I hope so.  I also hope you follow this page for lots more Interbay--some of these RRR tracks but also freshly baked, just popped out of the Labs, new tracks as well.  You can expect track drops EVERY SINGLE DAY (so far...and my consecutive days posting new tracks streak is at 468 days in a row, as of this posting.)

Birds,

A nostalgic voyage into the late night. 

All things that have brought me to this point and time. Sleepless nights, soulful music, and a love for television.

Late Night Programming is all of those things.

Hold on to
