Golden Rays
coruscate
Okay this is a fun trip into turntablism. This song was born as an accident when I was chopping up samples to scratch on “Rainy Daze” I accidentally left the end of the song in there and it was almost perfectly on beat in a hip hop way. So I started there.
The key sample is from Harry Pomar Hotel Ansley Orch Rainy Days
Music from 1928 and earlier is in public domain. Nothing is known about this band besides the name.
The main “chop” sample is a finished rap backing that only needs the bass and drums. But most people here are unfamiliar with that so I started to make an example from two unused CCmixter samples and then… well I added some scratching and here we are. As a rap track, it has room for two rounds of 16 bars between the sung vocal “Golden Rays.” With the scratching it’s just a fun track.
The unmodified loops are in the zip.
Contains two spoken word vocal samples from the 1929 film “ Coconauts” with Groucho Marx, public domain. As well as other public domain audio from other sources.
Original song is in the scale of B major.
Bass sample from Frompast0 has been pitch shifted, that’s the only reason why I included it, to make the song easier to remix. I didn’t see it necessary to include the drum bit since that’s only “vinyl” modified.
Plugs-ins used:
Vinyl - It’s free and great to degrade sound like vinyl. Doesn’t do scratching but does electrical feedback and record stops.
Spice vo- From Phil Speiser, it made the old faded track sound fresher and fuller.
DJ Turntable Effects - Finally an affordable plug-in to make, plan and execute realistic record scratching sounds! Doesn’t require a special tool, operates on just two nobs really.
