woodstick resilience

martinsea

When I read that I should remix Siobhan Dakay, I was very pleased as I like a lot of his tracks. At the same time worried. His tracks are so finely crafted, there is little that I could add, so there were only two ways to go: either some kind of punk mash-up or somehow to pare the sound down.
I wasn t very happy with the first idea, but found a way to do the second.

I reduced the Homesick track to just one instrument : the woodstick, and the idea was that this would demonstrate resilience, the track was to be mangled and mistreated with FX, but would survive to fulfill its harmonic functions and emerge intact on the other side.
(The mangling was done by an LFO on the delay time of a Valhalla Supermassive , and a second LFO modulating the ceiling of a limiter. These two takes were then scratched and played off against one another in Traktor. And then back to Reaktor where the track was put together. The other elements used from Homesick, the dirty drum, bass arp and fairlight stems.)
This may sound a bit obscure; but I hope the result finds favour.
