Some notes about OZOONA from P.N.:
We did not expect that this kind of music would come out when we decided
to collaborate. The beats of Rob combined with my chords, bass and melody.
I just let go during the making of this. Perhaps this is the reason for
the rather melodic outcome as I just reacted to the beats. While I sat in
the studio to work on track 2, a blackbird came to the window and sang
along, in the same key and even in the same rhythmic sense. I watched this
for two minutes and immediately built up the microphone. I recorded for 30
seconds and then I decreased the music to have some blackbird solo, but as
soon as I decreased level the blackbird disappeared. Listen to the outcome
at the end of track 2.
The next day, while I did the melody and chords for
the third track the same thing happened. I was prepared and so I recorded
the session. What you hear is the studio monitor sound and the blackbird
on the channel (just added some slight delay and reverb) and the same mix
on the other channel. On the last track I had the beats from Rob and tried
to do something which would make more -melodic- sense, but I started to
experiment with a rather aggressive beats [sic] and ended up experimenting
for two days. Most of you might hate the track, but on the other hand I
assume you like me for not tailoring my music to your taste.
