We did it again. I'm proud to introduce a brand new release, another collaboration with a timeless, spaceless Mistress of Vocal Time and Space. Nearly needless to add I'm talking about Myrh (@myrhyum). We started this collaboration more than one year ago, but I've been having tons of issues, so... Now it's out, and we hope you all will enjoy it.
Allow me to bore you with a few words about how we did it. Myrh originally sang along a looped section of another (still incomplete) song of mine, featuring the guitar part that eventually turned out to be the initial guitar solo in this final version. I had only Myrh's vocals, a tempo and a few bars of a guitar solo. I added a track of sampled tablas: at first I thought of it as a mere tempo reference, but it sounded good, so I kept it. At this point, I had a vision of how the piece had to sound. I pictured Myrh's vocals flowing inside a starship running through darkened depths, backed by an invisible ensemble of musicians playing some kind of an alien raga.
I found the starship on my internet browser. I downloaded an audio file called 495-AAB from archive.org (https://archive.org/details/Voyager1/495-AAB_8min10sec.wav). It was recorded on the spacecraft Voyager 1 ( launch date: 09/05/1977) and it's in the Public Domain. I did some sound design on it, and it became an awesome drone for the song, perfectly fitting Myrh's vibe. Then I recorded a few parts using my children's toy-instruments: vibraphone, oud and tambourine. A few months went by before I could start working on the organ, and a few others as well before I could record another couple of tracks with bağlama and lyra. I eventually completed the guitar solo, then added bass guitar and sampled drums. Once again I had to stop, for a considerable amount of time, before I could do some editing, the final mix and the mastering.
My humblest and heartfelt thanks to Myrh for allowing me once more to collaborate with her, for her limitless patience with my inconsistent workflow, for this gem of a song that I tried to decorate with (more or less) alien sounds and noise. One last word about this somehow arrogant use of the tag SpaceRaag: I'm absolutely aware of lacking of sufficient musical knowledge in order to compose or perform an actual raag; this is merely a spontaneous creation, I only tried to mess around with these harmonies springing from Myrh's sublime vocals and my own science fictional sonic vision.
