Just when you think you’ve seen or hear it all. Maybe even when you think you’ve done it all or failed to do so… Along comes a little spark and change that can make a difference. Such is the change about to hit later this week with the release of Delicate Stretch of the Seems (Sped Up).
If you’re like me, you might be asking yourself, what the fuck is up with the “(Sped Up)” portion on the end of the title?!?
Call it a chance to control the TikTok trend that has come to the forefront of music sharing and or use. Where it’s popular now to take a track and speed it up a few percentage points in order to get more of the song into a TikTok, or Instagram Reel, or whatever other short form video there is.
My overactive brain decided I’d like to head that off at the pass. Meaning, I’d create the sped up version for those crafty “6-7” lovers. Which not only benefits them, it will benefit me.
It takes a little getting used to hearing your work tweaked out like a bat-out-of-hell on cocaine and ‘roids while smashing a dirty soda. One of advancing years may say “shit that sounds like the fuckin Chipmonks!” Which wouldn’t be far off the plank. Hence the title Delicate Stretch of the Seems (Sped Up).
Much to my chagrin, after I’ve heard a few of them several times, it’s grown on me like a fungus. I can tolerate it without tossing my last meal back into my mouth. No, they won’t be released in Atmos – that would be serious overkill. Besides there isn’t a person on earth that could truly appreciate a high speed version of Coming Home in Atmos. It would cause your brain to melt like a threat from Darth Vader coming from the planet Vulcan.
More news is on the horizon. Gonna hold off until it’s fully tested. Thus, come on back at the same bat time, same bat channel.
