AIRCH

Okay, I will not claim this song is one of my originals, but the reason I'm posting it is my additions & re-arrangement totally changed the nature of this piece. Originally this came to me as a MIDI track from a guy I was collaborating with sometime around 1995. For some reason although I found the track cryptic I wrote some fierce bass & drum tracks that mutated his "Air Of China" into a totally different piece of work known by him, me, and now the rest of the world as "AIRCH". 38 seconds of intense bliss. My intent behind the bass & drum tracks was to write parts that sounded like they could be played by actual instruments yet were just a little bit 'impossible' to be real. I wrote a number of tracks in that manner at the time, hope to find & post 'em.

So far I have only managed to find the master of the 'slow version' but that came later, the 'fast version' was the original. So I faked it (for now) with editing software hence the artifacts.





AIRCH Fast Version
Here's the master of the 'slow version' dated sometime after after 01/22/96. Kinda has its own groove, eh?
