So, here's a bit of a logistical update, for those interested:
For the past couple of months, or so, I've been working with ji eff on these mixes.
It started off just as an experiment to see how mixing my existing multis would go. That is going very well, so far as it goes.
However, the project has turned way more exciting than that. I have previously stated that I intend to improve or update anything that could sound better, within my means.
Well, ji eff adds to those means substantially.
For instance, I kicked him the multis for the song Naomi, letting him know I didn't really like the arrangement that much and he was free to muck about with it.
THE NEXT DAY he sends back the song, with only my voice, everything else new. It then took a couple of weeks to tweak and further augment the piece, but that is the kind of creativity and collaboration happening here.
In another instance, I kicked him the multis for Skeletons Under Cover. The next day I get a response like, "sorry I didn't do a normal mix, but here is a remix" and it was friggin fantastic.
He went on to do a tremendous "normal" mix too.
Besides the creativity, the mixes are sounding great. At
least as good as the music deserves, but actually better, IMO. So, I'm a pretty happy camper about it. I can't wait to hear how the remaining songs turn out.
In the end, this project should include some straight-up mixes of my original stuff, some mixes augmented with ji eff's additions or replacements and some remixes, depending on what he gets inspired by.
The slated songs are:
Disturbing the Universe
Illusions
Your Religion
Prince of Peace
Like Rain
Naomi
Ecstasy & Agony
Break You
Skeletons Under Cover
Open Up the Door
Fight for Your Love
3 Sexes
