The fifth of 6 remixes of a lengthy (over one hour) improvisation around on ‘Frere Jaques’. Inspired by Mahler’s symphonic version i sing in the minor key not the major key.
Track 5 mixes atmospheric/environmental ambient textures with drone and thumb-piano and electronic synth notes which dominate the sonic field in the first section. towards the middle the vocals return, most being abstract and non-verbal. Short sections of the improvisation are repeated with overlayed harmonies at slow and double time. Around 5 mins the vocals fade and re-enter with different subject matter. Short cutup reiterations swell and recede and towards the end bell-like sounds as of track 4 bring the piece to an end.
This is a collaboration between myself , Moody Al and Knopfdreher.
