really not a complex tune, even if it sounds very built and orchestrated. if i deconstruct the construction, it's still enough to fit on a traditional 24 track recorder - which is downright minimal by my standards.
it's now properly synced, which was the hard part. this was initially constructed in a wave editor (the construction one part was recently reconstructed in a wave editor rather than mixed through cubase, in order to get that blurry, impressionist sound).
i'm going to give the mix until i wake up to sit, but i think clarity is now reclaimed. finally. i regretted not saving an instrumental version almost as soon as i pressed "save" back in early '02. i've been planning it ever since, but have run into various roadblocks....nice to feel it's done...
i'm not going to do a vocal remix of this. the '02 mix is the vocal mix stays the vocal mix.
the final mix (for j^2) is going to need some production work in bringing out the dynamics a little, and an uplift over that piano part.
