[ LIVE MATERIAL SERIES N°7 ]
Hi everyone. Today I'm glad to present you the seventh of the 'Live Material Series'. Wildfire Part 7 (Malström Madness Mix) is one of the tracks from this entire series that I removed from my liveset the most recently. Which means that I played it A LOT.
My idea when creating this was to make a sped-up, frenetic version of the original track. So I started by switching the tempo from 131... to 157 BPM. It was like this drastic change was giving to the main melody a completely new meaning. I then created the acid parts, which appeared very naturally, thanks to this fast tempo I guess.
The final touch was to add a sound that was very important for me: the complex synthesizer sound that opens the original version of Wildfire Part 7. This sound comes from Malström, an incredibly powerful virtual granular synthesizer made by Reason Studios two decades ago and that I'm still using extensively these days. Actually I didn't replicate the original sound I created for the Wildfire album, but I created a new sound with the same spirit. More importantly, I managed things in a way I could modulate a lot of parameters of this new sound live. Which both means that it was a very fun part to play, and that it has never sounded the same way twice. In this recorded version for example, it sounds like R2-D2 insulting C-3PO for being too shy. But it could have sounded completely different. That's because of this unpredictable sound that I named this version 'Malström Madness Mix'.
Last but not least, the final melody one can hear in this live version was an attempt to make reference to one of my favourite musical acts ever. Will you be able to recognize who I'm talking about?
Hope you'll enjoy,
Cinder
