Tommy- A song for Denmark Vesey
- 4 years ago
WARNING: CONTAINS FLASHING IMAGES ----Denmark Vesey attempted to gain his freedom but was turned in. Although almost 200 years has passed between then and now, the people that turned him in are just as alive today as then. "Tommy" is a drone (of two chords) set at 118 bpm. In essence it is a semi-live set version of "Factotum". A Behringer Odyssey is running a sequence of Octave D pedal points. The Odyssey is connected MIDI and triggered by an Arturia Drum Brute. A Yamaha PSR E463 is running a sequence through the groove creator, using New Blk, but with only three enabled. A Roland JDXi is running a (Dm7) arpeggio using LFO ResoPad1d LFO ResoPad2. The JDXi is also used to provide Jupiter 8 strings. A Roland Juno 106 is used (patch 51) for bass. A Yamaha MODX 8 provides melody through the Cillomatix patch. A Sequential Circuits Prophet Rev 2 provides melody (Vox Humana) and bass tones (Morgoth's Boot). In all, the composition has 17 tracks. The E463, MODX 8 and Rev2 were used on the denouement.
The genesis of this song is a mitch-match that I can hear and cite, but might not be obvious. Jorm Kaukonen and the Airplane, Fiona Apple, DJ Screw, Gary Numan, LexX, Vosne, terrence Trent D'Arby.
