I rejigged the structure a little.  Kept the acoustic guitars, but sampled, retimed and looped them.  Kept the drum loop, but moved it and gave it some 'vibe' via JST Pixelator.   And kept the epic 'goat kick'.

I then added additional production with 808 kick and new snare, plus snaps, tambo, hi hat, and claps.  And cymbal + crash hits on the choruses.  Plus a riser for the intro and before 1st + 2nd chorus.

Added synth bass, piano and vocoder parts to the chorus.  Synth bass was EQ-ed intentionally light.  The piano makes use of an augumented chord to help emphasize the vocal melody.

On my mix (see below), the vocoder parts are mixed to 'thicken' the lead vocal.  I used four copies of U-He Diva into 4 copies of iZotope Vocal Synth to create as smoove and lush a vocoder sound as possible.  Crazy use of the CPU to just blend as a thickening FX - but hey, that's just how I roll.  

I also introduced string and brass parts.  Both were played on keys, tightened in midi and processed to sound like loops.  The brass part is a change from the original chord structure.  I struggle with the repeat verse pattern in the bridge and breakdown, so I wrote a new chord pattern.

I built the instrumentation around Chase's voice and kept it light to make his voice feel as big and warm as possible.  The song is also about being up in an airplane - so it kinda makes sense.

Originally I asked Patrick to mix my production.  I really liked where he went with it but felt that it didn't reflect my original intentions for the remix.  I decided it was best to have two versions and so let Patrick go with his gut on his mix and did my own mix too. 

This is my mix.  You can find Patrick's mix here:

Chase K 'Long, Long Way Down (Unofficial Tobisonic Remix)' [Tobi Mix]

Hi there, I’m Davis.
I’m a sometime roadkill clearance assistant now looking for similar success in the music business.

Bookings: alicia@fansofjimmycentury.com

Originally from the San Francisco Bay Area/Oakland, Las Vegas-based Fans Of Jimmy Century is the fringe modwave, genre-bending duo of vocalist|voice actor Alicia Perrone and bassist|producer|video director Victor James. Chicago-born drummer Mike Long now tours and records with FOJC full time. Their family-friendly novelty holiday album "A Coupla Holiday Spirits (Halloween Perils and Christmas Carols)" came out 7/26/24 on AWAL/Sony Music and features standout tracks "Here Comes Christmas" and the Calypso pop tune "Wannabe Dracula."  It debuted in the Billboard Top 10 Comedy Albums and the following week because the #1 iTunes Holiday Album.  

The stark contrast between their songwriting and visual presentation style began their obsession with genre-bending.  They create whimsical, comedic characters to deliver the songs inhabiting their own unique world on the fringe of the status quo.  Their kitschy playful music, outlandish videos, comedic lyrics and bold style are enjoyed by the the young at heart.  From their early days under the tutleage of The Cars’ Ric Ocasek to their current state, they remain true to their left-of-center unpredictable roots.

C-Beem took his artist handle from the finale of his favourite sci-fi film, Blade Runner, seeing it as a good fit for his synth-based style.
