Why Everyone Should Listen to this Song by Jesse Q. Screed
Because there is a great example of old school turntablism.
The turntablist was my friend DJ Romeo, using real vinyl. The record we used was of some Tibetan Monks chanting from the Tibetan Book of The Dead that I found in a dust heap at the local Salvation Army.
I listened to the record for hours trying to find parts that went with the song. When I finally found them I vocalized to Romeo how I wanted him to play them, and Romeo nailed them. He played straight through the piece, no cut and paste.
I wish I knew what the Monks were saying; does anybody here speak Tibetan?
The only synth tracks are the bass, the tablas, and the high keys.
The whirling wharbling soaring sounds are actually done on a guitar. The guitar is played by my friend Robage. I’m Not sure how he did it, but there are about six parts; each one of them different.
This is chronicling a recurring dream I’ve had since I was about 5 years old. It always ends in a puddle of sweat.
It’s not my best effort, but it is my seminal foray into quikdom.
Do yourself a favor, listen. Comment as you wish, or not.
The piece is called WE ARE THE LOCUST
