This isn't technically a remix, but i used a bit of Bobby Mcferrins circle song so its become one. 🙂 Again im writing this retrospectively as i didnt log my progress, but my original intention was to create a soundtrack to a moonlit walk, inspired, unsurprisingly by walking under a full moon with overhanging trees on either side. I started playing some halo drum (vst) and strings, and wanted to create something glitchy but not glitchy hop, beautiful, but not cheesy, and i was listening to Tippers amazing broken soul jamboree a lot at the time. I was trying out a lot of resampling with this and manually chopping up the bounces. I also wanted to incorporate more of stutter edit, but using my own patches, and then editing the recorded audio. I think stutter edit is amazing, but i find it requires a strict workflow to be useful in a studio / composing environment. I've been learning after effects and video editing recently so im very visually motivated at the mo, and it does fit my vision of the moonlit walk idea, and something i could practice making the visuals too. I do like it as a track too, but think it needs a bit more work and hasn't been mixed down or arranged properly. I might pick it up again in the new year as think its got potential so will update the post if i finish it, and get recording the process while im doing to make these posts a bit more insightful...
