Emunator Posted February 20, 2015 Share Posted February 20, 2015 Link Title: Killer Toe Funk Remixers: ffmusicdj and Geoffrey Taucer Game arranged: Toejam & Earl Songs arranged: Toejam Jammin' Haroon says: I haven't composed a remix in quite some time. I haven't submitted to OCR in ages. I want to fix those two things. The song originated as a test song for a Phaser plugin I developed for guitars and synths. The song just kept growing from 4 bars, to 8, until we had about 20 bars of content and wanted to continue making it into a full song. Me and Jeremy just kept going for a month or more until it was finished. Production was fun and the content we recorded will hopefully be available soon for Reason users. I think Jeremy did a great job with the guitar, and I honestly can't wait to do more work with him in the future. I really miss making music, and I'm glad to be back. Taucer says: OH MY COSMOS IT FEELS SO GOOD TO BE MAKING MUSIC AGAIN! This started out as a short demo for Haroon's distorion and phaser plugins (which everybody should buy right now: http://thatmusiccompany.com/) and evolved from there. I did the guitars, Haroon did everything else on the production side (percussion, badass organ work, and making me sound like a much better guitarist than I actually am), and the overall arrangement was very much a collaborative effort. I pulled a few ideas from live jams I've done of the same source at MAGfest, so while they didn't contribute directly to the mix as recorded here, I want to give shout-outs to Jay "Audio Fidelity" Yaskin, Brad "Prophetik" Burr, Sam "Shnabubula" Weiss, Noah "Escariot" Luddington, and Sid "Sid Meier" Meier. At any rate, this mix was a blast to work on, and I will hopefully be doing many more collabs with Haroon in the future. -Taucer Source: Garpocalypse 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Liontamer Posted February 20, 2015 Share Posted February 20, 2015 Pretty loose and messy like the TJ&E style, i.e. in a great way. The mid-range seemed mixed too hot for me sometimes, but other than that, awesome energy and fun times. YES Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Emunator Posted March 8, 2015 Author Share Posted March 8, 2015 This is pretty much the last thing I'd expect to hear from the two collaborating artists, given their previous musical styles, so hearing this was such a fantastic surprise. Like your other collaborations that I've heard, the end result is a totally natural fusion, and this piece in particular does a great job showcasing the distortion effects you were trying to demo without ever feeling like a sales pitch that lacks any heart or fun behind it. Good work guys YES Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Palpable Posted March 10, 2015 Share Posted March 10, 2015 I love to hear remixes that aren't quite as "produced", something that sounds live and spontaneous. This really hit the spot. Great organ noodling, tasteful ear candy FX - a welcome take on a game that lends itself well to remixes. My only complaint: this really begs for live drums!
