SECRET MIXTER ASSIGNMENT: VO1K1

I wanted to say, I really enjoyed making this. The rhymes were custom written for and inspired by the work.

Lyrics are below, and some funny notes on the lyrics below that.
———————————
The idea
The guiding experiment here was the use of slippy slowdowns. There’s four layers here:

Snowflakes effects
Drums
The synth
Me

So all four of those elements experience slowdowns separately from each other. It was fun! I really enjoy the instrumental, it’s trippy and relaxing. I’ve included it as a secondary download.

Spotify Links
Please go here to listen to the piece on streaming. It even includes a new track remixed on Spinningmerkaba.

BUT ALSO!!!!

There is a megamix that I did, all v01ok1 on all five tracks, but after listening to Speck I’ll upload it separately later sometime. (And licensing issues it’s sampling+)

Which by the way… WIRED STUFF IS GOOD TO BE PUBLISHED!!!!!

Those are two separate singles with different material.
—————————————
The How
I used Izotope Vinyl to create the effects on the records.

Snowflake’s modified bird sounds are part of the download as they will be used in future remixes (already have one).

Vo1k1’s main sample was used in it’s entirety, with no looping. After I want to say the thirty second mark, every time there’s a major slowdown, the sample reverses! Between that and the slowdown texturing it really made something new from it.

Lyrics

Chill relax
Chill relax
Chill relax
Chill relax (slow)
Chill, relax. Have an Ice-T
With an Ice Cube, Drink it Eazy-E!
Did I say Eazy-E? Drink it easily!
Sit on the veranda, chat the breeze with me
———————-
The Autumn leaves relentlessly falling
Northwest trails are gently calling
Rainfall beautiful crescendo
beats staying home playing nintendo

You know what I love is peaceful time
Released from the grind, on my own dime
So chill, relax, netflix is optional
That doesn’t mean conjugal (but it is possible!)

Up in the domicile drinking responsibile
Joy is audible, these souls are bondable
Aeronautical cuz I’m a high as a kite
Escaping from Charlie Brown taking flight

Got my wild celery at the dispensary
Time melts in the persistence of memory
Sounds are sensory coming from my treasury
Immeasurably just complimentary So
——————-
Chill relax
Chill relax
Chill relax
Chill relax (slow)
Chill, relax. Have an Ice-T
With an Ice Cube, Drink it Eazy-E!
Did I say Eazy-E? Drink it easily!
Sit on the veranda, chat the breeze with me
————————-
I really just love how the seasons change,
Continuous cycle but never the same
Never so strange, unique as Snowflakes
Different experience in all 50 states

And all over the globe, in your ear lobe
Rich sounds of nature a treasure trove
Beholdin hope, the young go into winter
It’s the End of the cycle for wild beginners

Hey yo, did I fail to mention
We’re all here to relieve our tension
Comprehension lesson the stress
No question that we’re doing what’s best

Passin the time it passes us by
At the Pharcyde nostalgia we fly
Seize the day, that’s my alibi
Let it fly! Hip words sanctify!
——————-
Chill relax
Chill relax
Chill relax
Chill relax (slow)
Chill, relax. Have an Ice-T
With an Ice Cube, Drink it Eazy-E!
Did I say Eazy-E? Drink it easily!
Sit on the veranda, chat the breeze with me

pleaaaaaase enjoy the clouds
You can love the rain it is allowed
There’s no umbrellas to be found in town
Washington, it’s how we get down

Frog mating call in surround sound
Enthralled by nature and it is profound
did I mention raccoons? We got a platoon
opportunistic under the moon

A natural feel peace has quite the appeal
Can’t get this from an automobile
Are you for real? Sit and relax
Perhaps, sit here and eat snacks

In summary, good company beats cash
Money goes but memories last
Countrymen, leand me your ears,
Take a deep breath and release all your fears

And then this…

Quote: pleaaaaaase enjoy the clouds
You can love the rain it is allowed
There’s no umbrellas to be found in town
Washington, it’s how we get down

I moved to Washington from California. In CA, if it rains, umbrellas come out. People run to cars. People pull up their shirts to cover their hair. Magazines, newspapers are used.

In Washington state… hardly anyone cares. You don’t see umbrellas out here. You don’t see newspapers over heads. No one runs. Everyone just accepts getting wet and deals with it.
