To me this is some of the most experimental and nostalgia-less work Bowie ever did. It&#8217;s certainly some of my favourite, and I think it is very successful in decoupling Bowie for his earlier endeavours (for better or worse).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With the development of new AI tools (Jesus Christ, have I really become a blogger who harps on about this AI bullshit now? <em>Is that what this is?<\/em>), we can, and reasonably cleanly, separate the vocals from these session. Or indeed any session or recording.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I wanted to build something from the 1. Outside album. Not traditional remixes, but sort of sound scapes that encompass the tone and atmosphere of the original recordings (I&#8217;ve completely disappeared up my own arse). Harsh and unforgiving. Experimental and inaccessible, but interesting. I want them to be challenging and unique. The acid test for this is to have a casual listener say the words &#8220;is this even music?!&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With that in mind, here is my remix (I hate that word) of &#8220;Hearts Filthy Lesson&#8221;. It&#8217;s unfinished, unpolished, unmastered, and that&#8217;s how it&#8217;s staying. I think if I work any more it&#8217;ll lose its uniqueness.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"627\" height=\"627\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/bassdress.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/Hearts-Filthy-Lesson.jpg?resize=627%2C627&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2902\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/bassdress.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/Hearts-Filthy-Lesson-scaled.jpg?resize=1024%2C1024&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/bassdress.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/Hearts-Filthy-Lesson-scaled.jpg?resize=300%2C300&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/bassdress.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/Hearts-Filthy-Lesson-scaled.jpg?resize=150%2C150&amp;ssl=1 150w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/bassdress.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/Hearts-Filthy-Lesson-scaled.jpg?resize=768%2C768&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/bassdress.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/Hearts-Filthy-Lesson-scaled.jpg?resize=1536%2C1536&amp;ssl=1 1536w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/bassdress.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/Hearts-Filthy-Lesson-scaled.jpg?resize=2048%2C2048&amp;ssl=1 2048w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/bassdress.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/Hearts-Filthy-Lesson-scaled.jpg?w=1254&amp;ssl=1 1254w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/bassdress.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/Hearts-Filthy-Lesson-scaled.jpg?w=1881&amp;ssl=1 1881w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 627px) 100vw, 627px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-audio\"><audio controls src=\"https:\/\/bassdress.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/1.01.-Lvcchesi-Hearts-Filthy-Lesson.mp3\"><\/audio><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>This was made with a Waldorf Microwave XT, some percussion instruments, some guitar pedals, a Mackie mixing desk and a Vermona DRM1. Oh, and some effects, like the TC Electronic Firework and Jomox T-Resonator and an Eventide H9. I think that&#8217;s it. The kick is sampled from my Jomox Base 01. Not that the gear is particularly interesting, as most of the sound comes from the editing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I don&#8217;t know how I feel about this. It&#8217;s noisy and aggressive, it&#8217;s really a very difficult listen. But I&#8217;ll be damned if I don&#8217;t say there&#8217;s something about it I like it a lot. It&#8217;s the type of stupid, intentionally weird and challenging thing I&#8217;m proud of making. It&#8217;s horribly self indulgent and I expect almost no one else to like it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And actually, that&#8217;s fine with me because even I&#8217;m not sure if this really is music.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-file\"><a href=\"https:\/\/bassdress.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/Lvcchesi-Hearts-Filthy-Lesson.zip\" class=\"wp-block-file__button wp-element-button\" download>Download<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>There&#8217;s a gulf of under appreciated work in Bowie&#8217;s career, somewhere between &#8217;93 to 2000.
