Hey guys, I'd love to hear your thoughts on this new one I recorded with Julie -- we moved into a new apartment and it's the first one I did in the new place.

It's a little different and perhaps darker than usual, and I took a different approach to the composition - I took samples of chords and vocals from complete mixes of my last 12 projects, isolating interesting 2-5 second segments. I then put them in a granular synthesizer (grainstates sp for reaktor) and generated interesting spectral textures out of that. The entire track is built on these textures, which are crossfading into eachother to bring the song forward and create motion.

Hope you enjoy it and would love to hear your thoughts on the production quality or anything.

Still a work in progress. maybe the bass is a little heavy. Thanks!!!

Interesting note on this: Julie sang the whole thing all the way through -- she'd never heard the track before, we only did one take, and all the vocals are exactly how she sang it. Julie is really good at picking up the vibe of a song without having heard it before, I feel like she sang a few parts in advance to introduce parts in my song. I guess she is musically psychic :) Anyway I thought that was neat.
