When The Weasels - Zed

7th May 2010 02:15 - 16 years ago
Description : a wacky surreal rant populated by a whole menagerie of bogus beasties set to a very syncopated funky breaks track. the lyrics came out of personal experiences, "when the weasels (come out of the wall)" refers to those times in life when the false friends & secret enemies make their move or are uncovered on a political level. it is sort of like a slapstick cartoon in that the protagonist seems to stumble thru to victory. the track started with a lucky break, sampling an electric spark that was a perfect E natural so i put together that rhythmic figure you hear @ the beginning in 7/8 with 2 sparks in counterpoint an octave apart. the rest of the track kind of flowed out of that, those same rhythms are picked up on other instruments. i was also influenced by ravel's "bolero" which is why i used that particular scale that also gives the song its flavor.

yeah, the worms were selling bogus dogfood there but got evicted by the mockingbirds, who own the real estate.

you make a very important point that i am dealing with now as i finish the album this is on & talk to the netlabel about who to market it to: what kind of music is this? the fact that you think it is more alternative is very good info, thanks.

Hey MrZed...very cool indeed!..great continuity happening here,there's an excellent balance between your voice (thank God no autotune!)and the modulation within the music,which is upbeat and catchy..not to draw comparisons but it sounds like Frank Zappa joined Fireside Theatre..a cool combo Imo....the mix is very good as well..you've obviously been round the musical block a few times and are completely at ease with your creativity....super work!..cheers planet

very perceptive to mention firesign theatre, pioneers of surreal humor, a big influence. i don't mind being compared to zappa either, he is respected even among classical composers. both are from LA of course. you are hip to where i am coming from my friend & that is why your review is so satisfying. i communicated, yay!

hey wayne, glad you find it worth a little disk space. the experiences that inspired the song were not pleasant although everything came out ok, so i guess the point is that with creativity & a sense of fun you can turn negative stuff around & make it into something positive. laughing @ the weasels means i don't have to be angry & bitter.

Description : I wanted to produce something as close to conventional trap as I could, while still keeping the Mindway sound. The verses and bridge are as close to rapping as I will probably ever get, and using 808s is kinda growing on me. Maybe could be better, but I am liking where it is.

Description : This is a complete redo of a Jazz track I wrote a while ago and uploaded earlier this year. I attempted to remaster the original, and it bit me. So I bit back and here's the result. Jazz with a Latin flair. For those interested, I mastered this using the HUM JAAL mastering limiter. I'm loving that BEAST! Take a listen and share your thoughts Enjoy!

Description : What up LM family, next up is a track we put together last week, and one of my current favs. I got the stems from Nea Mera's remix of 'Make Em Feel This' and made some dope samples that really accent this track. He said it's hard for him to hear everything that I did with his stems, but I also know that LM is full of audiophiles who will pick out everything in a heartbeat. So Remember, this was your suggestion, Nea Mera LOL. I remembered to list the personel this
