*NO* Uniracers 'Velcro Melted Br8kz'

??? -djp

It's about time I got around to submitting something again. This song is a

remix of the title track from Uniracers. I recently bought a copy of Kid

Koala's "Carpal Tunnel Syndrome" and was inspired to try something a little

different. This song was done using only my Technics SL-1200 Direct Drive

Turntables and my Gemini PS-676 Pro Stereo Preamp Mixer (for the cutting and

whatnot). These are my babies, I love them more than anything. With this

song, I wanted to let everyone know that the turntable isn't just a means of

playing music anymore - indeed, it is an instrument just like any woodwind,

brass, percussion or string. I had a set goal in mind for this song - to

use an unconventional means of carrying the rhythm, which was achieved by

cutting a voice track in and out using just my ears for syncing everything

that came afterward. Once the groundwork was laid down, I looped it and

went over again, this time manipulating the drum track, and then again using

a long drawn-out sample of a guitar riff being cut in and out and sped up

and slowed down by the speed control on the turntables to bring out the

melody of the original. Be warned though, at first it takes a trained ear

to pick up on the similarities this shares with the original, as it only

uses half of the original material. I just thought it would be something

interesting to share with everyone, however musically viable it is. I plan

on honing my skills and attempting to cover some other video game tracks as

things go along. And yes, this is the first one I did using live

turntables, my Sonic Water Warning revisit was actually all done on the

computer. Anyway, here's the link:

The name of the song is "Velcro Melted Br8kz", which kinda fits the goofy

nature of the song itself, while also vying for the title of "weirdest name

for an OCR song". Don't ask me why I named it this, I don't even know.

I hope you enjoy this

NO

because if i wanted to hear this, i'd detonate a couple of kilos of C4 under my hood and try to start my car.

delay-breaker: No

I'd like to add that this may be simply an issue of a genre - scratching and scratching alone - not really being suited to the definition of "arrangement" we have here, which involves... notes.
