I had been (or currently am still) in a band named Hercules Mandarin. They are a fantastic wee collective of different Scottish musicians, who have combined their talents to create tradition Scottish music, couple with acoustic and rock sound. One of their best know songs is 'Kats'. A beautiful number that becomes upbeat. Written by Christopher Rodgers, it is a great wee song, which I am honoured to play with the band.
So I, late last night, decided to begin the process of doing a cover of this song. I listened to a live version of me and the band at The Mill, Glasgow, and thought it sounded great. So I want to make this version of 'Kats' distinctly different from the original. So I have begun the process of reinventing 'Kats' by using only bleeps, pitches, tones and cut up drum beats. Similarly to the format of 'In the Mix'. Sounds quite interesting at present, but I will need to keep working on it. I stopped mixing it at about 5am last night. It is an awkward song to mix with all the bleeps. So I will really need to look at the song again, but I am excited about this remix of 'Kats'.
I will also over the next while try to get something for the 'The Caged Foundling' lyrics I recently wrote.
