Something I made about a week ago as a requiem for grandma.
Guitar sample from Duncan Sheik’s “Sad Stephen’s Song” and strings from Nat King Cole’s “Mona Lisa”. Title lifted from my sister’s eulogy.
Sigh, I don’t know anymore.
For the 6th Monome Community Remix Project we remixed Rick Astley’s “Never Gonna Give You Up”. Was supposed to sit this one out so I could work on other projects, but I just coudn’t pass up remixing a famous internet-meme-level pop song.
The title surely is a reference to the song remixed, but it’s actually less that than the fact that I made music of a type that I ordinarily don’t do. But it’s great sampling and remixing workout and I had tons of fun making it.
Fare thee well, Lola. I miss you already!
