Subject: (313) Re: Strand on MySpace - Hear complete "Intact" sample
Now that's what I'm talking about. Thanks for the comments. I, for one,
have been pretty lazy when it comes to beats in the past, which I thought
was odd because I'm a pretty good drummer. The drums don't change in
"Intact" and I can see how that might be a sticking point for some people.
It is for me in a lot of instances, especially in the music we're working
on now. However, it doesn't bother me in this case because the rest of the
song changes so much melodically. "Intact", in general, is supposed to be
reminiscent of an older style and feel. Kind of a minimal track with a
classic Detroit stringiness to it.
Well I think it definitely works in that regard, and is reminiscent of the
older style, when techno was so similar to house, and both had similar
arrangements. A great example of this is TP's 'Your Love', which has the
same beat unchanging throughout, and he even pushes out the repitition to 16
bar loops for most of the track, but it's such a hook that it carries you
with it anyway. With that track I always wished there had been another
version, because I've always thought it worked despite the arrangement, not
because of it. That's pretty much how I feel about Intact too.
