“Music does a lot of things for a lot of people. It’s transporting, for sure. It can take you right back, years back, to the very moment certain things happened in your life. It’s uplifting, it’s encouraging, it’s strengthening.” — Aretha Franklin

Key 32

from Bite Me

1998

I was listening to a lot of Mo’Wax and Ninja Tune material during this period so this is a reflection of that. This song was a struggle to complete. It was only the discovery of a couple of interesting samples and a complete accident on my part that made it whole. There was a piano line in here and I futzed around with the envelope on it so now instead of a piano, it sounds like bowed strings. The snare drum/clap is actually a vocal choir saying Cha! that I downloaded from somewhere.
