My First Remix

Well I’m quite chuffed with myself. I've nearly finished my first ever remix and have really enjoyed doing it. I say remix - it's more of a remake really, isn't really that true to the original, rather it's samples used in the original reinterpreted by me in a new track. But I’m still rather chuffed.

This is the first bit of music I’ve made for a long time and certainly the first piece I’ve made in years that I’ve nearly finished. Still a bit of polishing to do just to get all the levels right and I’m not sure about the ending, but anyway.

It’s a remix of a track that Dave entered into a remix competition on Discogs, which won and got remixed by all the others. I did think of entering at the time but knew I’d never have time to get it in on time. So I just plodded away in my own time.

I say plodded, it took me about 10 hours over two days to do including cutting up samples and loading them into samplers (a rather dull process creatively). It was the month and a half between the two days I spent working on it, not the fastest rate of production. And I’m still not finished.

Anyway, enough waffling, here’s a link to the track so far. I’m not gonna leave this here forever as it takes up a lot of space. Let me know what you think of it.
