The Jones Girls | Nights Over Egypt (Change Request ReVision)

For this ReVision, I recreated my favorite song from this Detroit-based trio of sisters who were backup singers for many years for artists such as Aretha Franklin, Lou Rawls, and Diana Ross, before breaking out on their own to form The Jones Girls. 

Written by Kenneth Gamble and Leon Huff protege, Dexter Wansel, this song, and arrangement are quintessential Philadelphia music mastery. Dexter, along with Cynthia Biggs, wrote many hits for other artists, including Yellow Sunshine, Instant Funk, Phyllis Hyman, The Jacksons, MFSB, Teddy Pendergrass, Patti Labelle, Evelyn "Champagne" King, Grover Washington Jr., Lou Rawls, and of course, The Jones Girls. 

“Nights Over Egypt” was the second single from their studio album, 1981’s Get as Much Love as You Can, released on Philadelphia International Records. Most songs on this third studio album of theirs are written by TSOP kingpins, Kenneth Gamble and Leon Huff, and the album reached number twenty-five on the Top Soul Albums Chart in the US. 

For this version, I recreated this R&B Classic with Roland’s Jupiter-8, Sequential Circuits Prophet-5, Live Bass and drums, and the best instrument ever created, the 73 Suitcase Fender Rhodes Electric Piano.

The Jones Girls | Nights Over Egypt (Change Request ReVision)

Hall & Oates | I Can’t Go For That (No Can Do)(Change Request ReVision)

For this ReVision, I took on this classic by a duo who needs no introduction. Dropped right in the middle of their seemingly endless hit factory streak, this song was the second single from their tenth studio album, 1981's Private Eyes.

Landing them their fourth number-one hit single and the second from the same album, this song was written quickly in-between recording sessions for Private Eyes. 

This song makes iconic of the fairly new Roland CR-78 CompuRhythm at the centerpiece rhythm section. The CR-78 was Roland's first microchip-based programmable drum machine. This machine this song marked the beginning of what would become the golden era of synthetic drums taking over the airwaves. 

Released in March of 1981, “I Can’t Go For That (No Can Do)” along with Phil Collins' January 1981 single, “In The Air Tonight”—which also prominently featured the Roland CR-78—would make this first programmable machine from Roland an icon overnight. 

This song also features the state of the art Dave Smith Sequential Circuits Prophet-5, a Korg organ baseline, Fender Rhodes, and simple, but effective guitar motifs. I recreated this song with a Roland CR-78, Prophet 5, Fender Rhodes, Vox Continental Organ, and Live Bass. 

Enjoy!

Hall & Oates | I Can't Go For That (No Can Do)(Change Request ReVision)

Daft Punk | Something About Us (Change Request ReVision)

For this ReVision, I went after one of the less obvious hits from the French outfit. It’s always been a song of theirs that I have listened to more than any other. It’s a great example of subtle simplicity in harmonic motion and songwriting. 

“Something About Us” is the sixth and final single off of Daft Punk’s LP, Discovery, from 2001. This song was also featured as a promotional item for the feature film—Interstella 5555: The 5tory of the 5ecret 5tar 5ystem—from 2003. 

Beyond its use to score the animated love story of Shep and Stella from the film, its universal notions of unrequited love is a timeless plot within the context of the human emotional experience. 

I recreated this with the standard orchestration the original calls for plus adding additional parts, rearranging the sections, and allowing the few instrumental part more room to spatially breath—by programming my drums around them, instead of affixing them on top of the groove—something I always wished the original did. 

This was produced with @EventideAudio effects processing, including UltraReverb, SP2016 Reverb, Instant Phaser Mk II, and the H3000 Factory plugin version of the legendary hardware unit.

Erik Satie | Gnossienne No. 3 (Change Request ReVision)

Official Video: https://bit.ly/3clpSSj   

For this ReVision, I reimagined one of the more poignant pieces in his Trois Gnossiennes piano works from 1890, “Gnossienne No. 3”, the final “Lent” free-time piece, following the “Gnossienne No. 2 - Avec Étonnement”.

An abstract French Impressionist and influential artist of the early 20th-century Parisian avant-garde, Éric Alfred Leslie Satie aka Erik Satie (1866–1925), broke ground with his work for future artistic movements such as minimalism, repetitive music, and ambient music with his innovative “Musique D’Ameublement” works, dating from 1917.

An accomplished art and cultural journalist, publishing works for outlets as wide-ranging as the Dadaist 391 to Vanity Fair, he wrote under his own name as well as Virginie Lebeau and François de Paule during his most active years.

The first Trois Gnossiennes are piano compositions that are highly experimental with form, rhythm, and chordal structure. The Gnossienne form and its name was the original invention of Satie, a rare occasion in Western Music—however, common with the French Impressionism movement, seeing Claude Debussy, among others, reinventing the Esquisses Symphoniques, with his triptych approach—where a composer employed a new term to describe the form of their work.

These Gnossiennes were first published in Le Figaro musical No. 24 of September 1893, with the piano solo versions of the first three Gnossiennes are without time signatures or bar lines, with the “Gnossienne No. 3” returning to the thematic material of “Gnossienne No. 1”

Inspired by another master of French music, Francis Poulenc, whose orchestration of this work in 1939 completely transformed it. Conceiving a fresh contemporary sonic cosmos for this standard piece of repertoire, Poulenc transfigured this work dynamically and motivated me to take it into even another realm.

This arrangement features a return to Da Capo twice, with a Mozart-styled-minuet to conclude. I orchestrated this through synthesis and not traditional orchestral sections but organized the sound design around their respective sonic statements. Using a variety of Oberheim pads, Sequential Circuits brass, and Roland Juno strings and bass, this was embellished with modern percussive accompaniments.

Written By Erik Satie in Paris, France (1893)
Orchestrated By Neal Andrew Emil Gustafson (2019)

Andrew Emil // Change Request 

A preeminent artist of Chicago's 3rd wave, Andrew Emil is one of house music’s most staunch stalwarts. A concert-trained percussionist since age 11, he earned a chair in his native Kansas City Symphony before eventually moving to Chicago. 

As a traditional musician, Andrew Emil has worked as a keyboardist, arranger, and an orchestrator on recording sessions and productions, cutting his teeth at the former Chicago Trax Recording Studios. 

Credited on over 200+ recordings, his composition and studio productions have ranged from concert works and sound design to film scoring stages and hundreds of releases of electronic music productions. 

After a life in live music performance, from orchestra percussion sections to punk rock ensembles, he crafted a reputation for House Music productions in Chicago under his own name, as well as Broadway & Wilson, and Uptown Tones. 

One of the earlier innovators of the “Jackin House” genre under the Broadway & Wilson moniker with Jeff Bloom, Andrew is never content to stay in one place or style of musical thought for very long. 

He is the only recording artist to do production work simultaneously for Derrick Carter’s Classic Music Company, Mark Farina’s Great Lakes Audio, Gene Farris’ Farris Wheel Recordings, and four-time GRAMMY nominee Steve “Silk” Hurley’s S&S Records.

A string of double-digit singles for prominent labels, including remixes for artists such as Common, Kanye West, Little Louie Vega, Jamie Principle, Steve "Silk" Hurley, Iz & Diz, Fast Eddie, Shalamar, Roland Clark, David Morales, Colette, Amp Fiddler, JT Donaldson, and Gene Farris, to name a few. 

2012 saw the emergence of his epithet, Change Request, with the Change Theory EP on four play music. This new persona allowed the freedom to explore hybrids of mid-tempo live instrument focused jazz-dance-fusion. 

Following this release was “After All” on Seasons Recordings, with another single thereafter featuring house music icon, Chez Damier, “I Wanna Go Back”, including a remarkable rework from Glenn Underground, on Glenview Records. 

The ever-growing collection of songs and musical dialogue eventually led to the conceptual album series from Change Request. Each full-length effort containing a completely separate story and scored via its own unique incidental subtext. 

Emil created AstraVox Music with the award-winning Los Angeles-based composer, Mr. Nathaniel, as a home for his increasing catalog of incidental dramatic musical compositions.

We begin in the year 2008 with Josh, Dan and Brian. Three unassuming, well mannered and fun-loving fellows from a town near the sea. Regressed, mutated and collectively known as Fartbarf, they somehow bring us all into the future, captivating audiences with relentless melodies, robotically tight rhythms, and danceable beats by use of a strict limitation of tools at hand; vintage analog synthesizers, vocoders, drum machines, analog modular systems, and live drums.
