| Shock_Magazine.sid | | "They wanted a title-theme for Shock Magazine, and gave me the first
issue. There was a song in there, and I had no clue what it really
was but thought it captured the feel of the entire magazine. So I
simply made a cover of it, Danko style. I never had any hangups about
having to do it all, music is all about sharing and developing ideas
together in order to reach higher grounds. The chords aren't
identical to Jeroen's version, in fact we had a little thing over
that at a party in Oslo back in '94 or so. We hung over a keyboard
and I played the chords my style, and he went like 'No! It's like
THIS!' and I said 'Well, I want it THIS way!'. *grin* One of the guys
at the party leaned over to me and whispered that he in fact
preferred my version of the track. *smirk* Jeroen superimposed a sus2
chord throughout the progression until it folds back to the tonic,
where the sus2 becomes a m7. It's a nice move, one that I personally
use quite a lot myself. But this time around I expanded the
progression to plain chords following the bassline.
After I had done the tune I found out that it was from Rubicon, but
to me it doesn't matter.
Later on I made a remix of it, called it Schizomix, with weird
sounds. Because Rubicon had been a double-speed song, or something
similar, I wanted to make weird and similar sounds but in a single-
speed player. And that's all it was, a messed up version of my first
cover so to speak." (TD)
