"Mini Mousse (Maxi Mix)" (Home-Recording)

The moody soundtrack of an unrecorded film with more than just one thing happening in it.

 

"Labyrinthine" (09 V 09) (Home-Recording)

This is were the EMF All Stars started! In April 2009, Maxim sent me a basic track (drums, bass and some keyboard), which I then overdubbed when every possible instrument I could find (on 28 April and 2 and 4 May 2009). The result was a somewhat meandering but very tight semi-electronic track with a cool acoustic guitar riff and some Gothic electric guitar soloing.
No vocals yet, because Maceo wasn't involved yet.

Actually, I was rather impressed by this tune when I heard it again the other day - so why don't you give it a try?

'Fury (27 XII 09)' (Home-Recording)

Maybe we don't need the videos at all? Here's a more direct listen-experience perhaps?
'Fury' is a Prince cover, recorded over a year ago (and posted on Entropy then). It combines a drum machine beat with some manual keyboard drumming, resulting in much more relentless version than the original !
At the request of Jfrost, the guitars were turned UP in this mix!

"Strawberry Fields Forever" (Home-Recording)

This cover-version was recorded about 4 years ago. The basic track is my brother (who likes to call himself Jeroen) playing piano and singing. The MP3 version was emailed to me, which I proceeded to edit on computer. I overdubbed keyboards, guitars and drums (all plugged straight into the computer) and laced everything with a generous helping of swirling effects. A funny feature of this version is that I had to have the entire overdub-section follow the same wavering tempo of the original recording, resulting in some slowly gliding and othe gallopping parts.

Unlike me, Jeroen can hold a note!

This morning in Aberystwyth ...

Dangermouse - Encore

From the infamous 'Grey Album': Dangermouse creates The Beatles and Jay-Z:

"Only A Northern Song" (Home-Recording)

If you cover the Beatles, why not try a really obscure song and Sgt. Pepper outtake? And then make it even more obscure? One sunny afternoon in March 2008, I did just that - with a doctored drum-machine beat, and recording different musical overdubs without listening to the other ones previously put on tape (they come out surprisingly in synch!!). The cherries on the LSD cake are the shimmering voice effect and the alien backing vocals.

"If you're listening to this song
You may think the chords are going wrong
But they're not
He just wrote it like that"

"Cinnamon Girl (Acoustic Version)" (Home-Recording)

In a first attempt to kickstart this music page (which may or may not be home-made, depending on which mood you find me in), I'll draw your attention to a laidback Prince cover I did a few years go, when Entropy was still in its infancy (April 2008). So was I, then. Still, you might expect me to post some much infancier tracks in the future!

This song was already recorded on the digital Tascam multitracker (more about this later), and uses a semi-improvised acoustic guitar + vocal track as its basis.

For those of you who have already heard it: ohnonothimagen!!
For all the others: here's your chance to pick it up
