Oh, the B.B.E. melody will never get out of my head. And that day, searching new great sample, i found an intersting bell instrument that was the start of this new remix… I first started with a Slow part, dedicated to Delphine, thant switched to a more electronic part.
Ype, little concours for the Creative Sound Studio member (Tbob, Pype and I) realising a small module with at least 15 patterns and using all the instruments from the original VPC1.it in 8 channels.
Well, i finally switch to 16 channels, to finalize the mod before going to Tbob’s house… A hommage to the V-Drums drumkit, just after realised a great drum part in the track Sunday Bloody Sunday.
A force de jouer et rejouer le titre, j’ai fini par avoir envie d’en tenter une version “Dance Tracker” sans oublier le solo de Batterie de V-Drums (Vivien Vanoirbeek) ! … le tout avec un petit coup de main de mon frangin Pype.
Don’t laugh, i only discovered the pop band U2 in 1996, with the songs Sunday Bloody Sunday and With or Without you… In fact, my pop rock culture stops with The Beatles and The Shadows and switch to New Beat, Techno and Dance Music… so i only heard songs from Depeche Mode, U2 and R.E.M. at that time, with my Virtual Music Pop Formation…
Pierrick and Teddy Bear realy like the sound of U2, we needed at that time new influence for the concert of “La Mare aux Joncs” and then we trashed John Lennon and Johnny Be Good for Sunday Bloody Sunday, that would be a key song for our band.
In the first concert, i only played bass theme with my keyboard during a sequencer played the violin parts, but later, i’ll do it myself and sometimes also sing chord parts…
So, i finally would like to write a dance tracker version !
Salut à JedD, Tbob, Pype, Pierrick, Delphine, La Puce, V-Drums
That nights, i have watched MTV and was intersted by the song Apollo 440 - Ain’t talkin’ ’bout dub, a song that sounds as The Prodigy… Another inspiration source was songs i’ve listened from the last Assembly Demopary in 1996, that i’ve found in my PC Fun CD-Rom.
So i also try to write such kind of Dub/Demoscene song letting evoluate my melodies in different moods…
A great thanks to Laurent Mazzapicchi for the abuse of his synthesizer… V, you could hear that it would be difficult for you to play a drum like that !
Re-arrangement from a slow i’ve written in march 96 with samples i’ve recorded out of the Roland E36 of my friend Laurent Mazzapicchi. The new result sounds not so Scenemusic and have a Midi Touch that now sounds average. Anyway at that time, my Midi SoundCard was just able to play FM instrument, so sampling the Roland synthesizer let me give more realism to my creation.
Somewhere in my dreams was a dream music inspirated from the piano’s melody of the french soundtracker Bruno Martinez who have shared some modules on PC Fun. I’ve never find him back to show him this remix arrangement…
Well, some Cyborg Jeff’s fan well known me due to my web hit starring Michel Daerden released in the end of year 2006, anyway there were a lot of other attempt of music using samples from movies or well known people.
I should admit that i was addicted to that kind of electronic music : VDB, Dechavane, Les Visiteurs, Bourvil (Qu’est-ce que c’est ?), Le Père Noël est une ordure,…
So that day, my friend Sebastien Valenti that realy like Louis de Funes, proposed me to remix Les Gendarmes de Saint Tropez.. Then i sampled some voices from the Video Tape and create a modest dance music…
Cyborg Jeff is back from his illness and was totaly motivated to upgrade his musical skills.
The song “Encore une fois” from DJ Sash! turned in my head and i realy would like to do something that sounded like that. Close to B.B.E. and Innerworlds melodies, using some inspiration from DJ MD et Deep Zone… I started this new trance song.
This one was written for Delphine, as you could mention the monaster mix that was a reference to the place where she lived, close to the Saint Roch monaster, lost in the Belgian Ardennes.
Falling in love could be find in the re-edition of the CD Album : Planer n’est pas jouer, as if it was written after the original K7 version in 1997. That song was a part of my commercial trance compilation called : Trance Tornade volume 2 and was also a main track of the K7 album : Trip to Ferrières released in the end of february.
Au final, l’arrangement Dance, sans le titre n’a rien du morceau de Patrick Bruel, pourtant essayer de chanter dessus : “Alors regarde, regarde un peu, et tu verras ….” ca donne pas si mal !
Well, i am absolutly not a fan of the french singer Patrick Bruel, anyway his song “Alors regarde” was in our musical reportory in our rock band. A song that my sister and brother realy liked.
So that day, i was reading or musical partition and would like to try a dance remix… Finaly my version was far from the original Patrick Bruel song, anyway if you’ll sing “Alors regarde, regarde un peu…” that suite !
Petit coucou à JedD (Jean-Denis Magis), Tbob (Valentin Boigelot), Parmy (Laurent Mazzapicchi), V-Drums (Vivien Vanoirbeek), Pierrick Hansen, Valyum (Romuald Dispa) et Natacha (et oui… encore Natacha)
Here is my first Dance Music of the year 1997. just a basic one inspirated from the classic Culture Beat - Mr Vain and using some samples from the soundtracker version realised by The Lord… limited to 6 track format of the S3M player developped by my brother Pype.
Anyway this non pretention euro dance song began to take place in my heart… this instrumental version will be find in my first CD Album : Divagation in april 1997 and I’ll write some lyrics for the song few weeks later…
