I forgot to post the improved version in the appropriate thread which isn't very smart since I'm otherwise just leaving a dead link on the above post.


One reason that I wanted to make a quasi-footwork version of this tune, besides just the joy of combining the two styles, was also to draw a parallel between wiping out on a surfboard and wiping out on a dancefloor since the latter is something that I (almost) have a lot of experience with in the past - not that it actually ever happened, but I'm guessing that there were hundreds of times in the past, especially in my early 20s when I was doing my own kind of footwork (I feel silly calling it that because I don't won't give myself props as if I was anywhere near on the same level as proper modern footwork dancers), I felt like I wasn't going to land properly, and therefore end up falling on my ass - thankfully, it never happened, but I did have a lot of "oh shit" "close call" moments when a foot was in the air where I felt like I wasn't going to land properly until I actually did land.

Made this the other week for my partner, who asked for a version of guess by charli xcx where it suddenly cuts to the chorus of the new lady gaga song, abracadabra, and one is superimposed atop the other, In the course of fucking around with youtube stems i made this, and then dinner, and then uploaded it to youtube a couple days later. Needless to say, my partner was disappointed in me that i didn't make what they asked for, though i really mostly wanted to sit them down and show 'em how to do it in ableton or serato. I'm going to make what they asked for right now i think.
Tempted to keep working on it though...

I'm blaming @sus for mentioning Orange Claw Hammer because I then stayed up all night making this when I realized that the line "I woke up in vomit 'n beer in a banana bin" makes a perfect 16 syllable drum/instrument rack as long as you chop two of the monosyllabic words in two where he sings them longer. Then I could make all sorts of noise with by applying all sorts of different effects to make different sounds.

It's a bit autechrish, I guess.

as said in the video description:
90% of all of the sounds and rhythms in this track were made by warping, modulating and affecting a single acapella vocal line sample heard at the beginning of this track, "I woke up in vomit 'n beer in a banana bin," sung by Captain Beefheart.

Captain 0bleak - Vomit 'n Beer in a Banana Bin (funky Japanese joist hanger mix)

I thought to myself that it would be interesting to do a version with adding not only some funk bass and funky guitar, but also sounds derived from a Japanese joist hanger.

This is an unarranged demo - that is why is starts and ends abruptly with not much variation. The point of the project is to use sounds from guzhengs (either played conventionally or unconventionally) as the one and only initial sound source (besides vocals, at the point when that occurs) which I then further process to get the sounds I want. The idea initially came to me when I was thinking about what a modern update to 23 Skidoo's Urban Gamelan album from 1984 might sound like, but if it was taken in a different direction. Firstly, use different instruments (guzhengs instead of gamelan/drums/bass/guitar, etc.), and secondly, try to derive all sounds from just guzhengs (either played conventionally or unconventionally). This is why the project is named Sub Urban Guzheng - a nod to the album that inspired it, but created in a suburban environment, with added sub bass (the sub bass sounds here are also processed sounds initially generated by the sounds of guzhengs).

someone (guess who) said, elsewhere on a different forum, that they would like to hear this with a 909 running underneath so I thought why not...
