NEWS: I submit new remix of Jessamyn Rains 'Land of the Living' to Indaba music competition
The song style and subject matter brought to my mind films such as 'The Others' and podcasts such as 'Midnight in the Desert'.
I was inspired to turn the vocals into a message from 'the other side': whereby you cannot hear exactly what is being said, but it still connects with you on an emotional level.
The bassline especially was reshaped to act as a 'wall' between the listener and the vocals. The vocals were distorted in a number of ways to further build this wall or a veil between 'the other side' and 'The Land of the Living'.
A slightly psychedelic folk intro gives way to a second half inspired by UK 90's rave and drum 'n' bass.
I hope you enjoy listening as much as I did creating.
All elements (aside from electronic drum sounds) are samples from Jessamyn Rains 'Land of the Living'
Electronic drum sounds: Native Instruments MASCHINE
DAW: REAPER
