Time Stretch

Everyone should know that nothing ever happens the way we want to... Anyway, with more and more people asking me to join the project - more informations to be displayed when future rehearsals or recordings will be made - i can't afford myself to waste too much time anymore.
I woke up this sunday morning determined to work upon the various sketches or the new musical propositions i received. An awful headache did not change my plan but i had to seriously consider my ambition for the day at a lower level...

On friday, i began to work upon Ari's demo. I developped the jungle approach i took further more, shaped the whole riff and some of its variations as a song. I recorded the voice today and added some keyboards. Here is the result ; i've called it Those Were The Days.
I wait for Ari's opinion about it. There is still enough space at the end to add a guitar solo or some electronic noises. We'll see...

Earlier this week, Ximeng sended to me two new musical basis ; a new mix of the track based on the movie Seul contre Tous. And a second take of what should be a tribute song for late Derek Bailey. Even if the two propositions are interesting, it became quite obvious to me that i should concentrate on the second ; people who heard Carpigstroke know that i already did something with the dialogues taken from the same movie...
So, in a faithfull improvised style influenced by Arcana, a project in wich Bailey was involved along with Bill Laswell and Tony Williams, i've recorded my drum part today. It should remain that way. Here it is : For Derek.
