The Junto instructions this week ask for multiple versions of a track:
Consider what it means to “transliterate” something, and how that differs from “translating” something, and how both differ from “interpreting” something.
This spoke to my process of recording and then remixing tracks and there was a track that I'd already processed in various ways.
'Smoke' was a song very quickly recorded at the end of 2015, when I'd been keen to put something down without a clear idea what it might be.
At the time I'd written lyrics very quickly, recorded two takes and decided to layer them up rather than edit bits together.
Then in March this year I'd revisited the track, adding a bass part that was recorded for another song.
I'd experimented with repitching the vocals and added drums using Live's samples.
More recently I'd come back to the original and attempted to more drastically remix the parts.
In the third section of the video above, you can see I've layered much shorter samples and you can hear I've used Live's Beatrepeat effect to create new melodies.
