Description:
I made a beat about a week ago and sent it to Nightshade Syndicate, he played with and added some stuff and posted it as Binary Vomit. His was more downbeat sounding. I still had the beat around and decided to try and make a dub song from it. I really love dub but have never tried to do it. I almost hesitate to put it under the dub genre as the drums are just weird, but i did put a reggae bass line over it. it should probably go under experimental, but my wife heard me doing it and just thought i was listening to "your crazy dub music."
The vox are from the freesound project, and in keeping with "dub not dub" concept, I used a field recording of a turkish man singing on a boat. I liked his voice and was able to work it into the song somehow. heres the freesound attribution:

Rub a dub dub &mdash 05/24/08 - 01:08:05 PM
a Turkish man in a tub. Dig this different take on the genre - totally get it. Nice bass. [ Reply to This ]
thanks Bud &mdash 05/24/08 - 01:34:38 PM
glad you liked. computers are so cool, would have taken me forever to do this on tape. [ Reply to This ]
Weird in a good way &mdash 05/24/08 - 01:09:09 PM
The vocal sample does merge and mesh perfectly with the bass and drum (and yes he does have a nice voice). Very creative, you should do more like this! [ Reply to This ]
thanks Rebsie &mdash 05/24/08 - 01:36:49 PM
this was a blast for me, I love working with found stuff. maybe I'll do dub remixes of all my songs (god, that would be ghastly). glad you approved and thanks for listening. [ Reply to This ]
eastern &mdash 05/24/08 - 02:06:49 PM
Cool groove. The blend with the eastern influenced melody and the reggae bass makes it pretty original. Me like:) [ Reply to This ]
thanks thoddi &mdash 05/24/08 - 10:40:03 PM
glad you like. i heard that recording of the vocals, and had to use it. he's got such a cool voice. the rest was pure experimentation. thanks for listening. [ Reply to This ]
Wild &mdash 05/24/08 - 02:25:15 PM
Weird, wild, rebellious, radical, rolling, rabid, ridiculous, did I say wild?
Was this played in Asian Minor?

what a project ..totaly new to Michael sound ..
good experiment my friend !! [ Reply to This ]
thanks Feter &mdash 05/24/08 - 10:44:00 PM
glad you found it new; i always want to experiment with different things. now if i could only speak turkish and translate what he's sing. i think you're voice would be great in a dub mix as well. thanks for listening. [ Reply to This ]
what a trip &mdash 05/24/08 - 02:58:22 PM
the whole thing is really well done. So much to like here. The bass line is killer and grooves over the drum track. neat use on the delays. the whole thing is pretty cerebral. [ Reply to This ]
thanks vic &mdash 05/24/08 - 10:46:03 PM
this was a good time for me, i love reggae, dub, electronics and psych; so i got a chance to play around with all of them. delay makes everything more fun. [ Reply to This ]
.... &mdash 05/24/08 - 03:13:07 PM
quite groovy. You can't go wrong with dub, the vox were pretty cool over that track too. good find. [ Reply to This ]
thanks man &mdash 05/24/08 - 10:48:08 PM
you're right about dub: it's totally addictive. i may have to try my hand at a more traditional sounding cub mix one of these days. thanks so much for listening. [ Reply to This ]
boom boom boooom &mdash 05/24/08 - 03:43:31 PM
awesome bassline. reminds me a little of when big sugar experimented with dub, but this is much cooler. this is great michael. i love the big bassy mix. [ Reply to This ]
thanks &mdash 05/24/08 - 10:50:32 PM
isn't playing with sound the best fun ever? i like the bass too. never heard Big Sugar, but i'll be checking them out. thanks for the listen (and support). [ Reply to This ]
hehe &mdash 05/24/08 - 05:09:27 PM
thanks spitlogic &mdash 05/24/08 - 10:53:42 PM
glad you liked. although not really dub, it's my take on it. dubs kind of like hip hop for me; i love it, but i would feel silly trying to do a true to form take on it. feel like it would be really forced and lame sounding. i may try another track in this style with one of your accapellas if you don't mind. [ Reply to This ]
have at it &mdash 05/25/08 - 08:04:59 PM
Very cool &mdash 05/24/08 - 11:23:17 PM
I love the bass on this. Really effective use of the vocal sample. This reminds me of London, especially when I lived in Peckham and used to frequent bars that played a lot of this kind of music. Very nicely done. SOunds like dub to me. Cool. Peace. [ Reply to This ]

You're so imaginative Michael, sometimes it's scary! If I had as much creativity as you have in your little finger......well, you know how that goes! [ Reply to This ]
thanks karen &mdash 05/26/08 - 10:16:37 PM
you have the technique to die for, i am simpling willing to look foolish in public. thanks so much for your kind words. [ Reply to This ]
Love it Michael... &mdash 05/25/08 - 12:06:03 PM
Reminds be of DCD and Vas - but more electronica. I'm really interested in arabic microtonal, raggas, etc. so this sort of music is a treat! [ Reply to This ]
lunatrick &mdash 05/26/08 - 10:21:01 PM
thanks for the listen, glad it captured your attention. there is some amazing middle eastern music out there, i am really into this one guy Muslim Gauze who does electronic music with seriously honest middle eastern folk influences. he does it all live too (guess he has something against sequencers). thanks for checking it out and for your kind words. [ Reply to This ]
Ace tune &mdash 05/25/08 - 05:49:07 PM
really like this one. Fantastic laid back vibe but with a real heavy sound. You did a very good job on the vox considering the source. [ Reply to This ]
thanks tokai &mdash 05/26/08 - 10:22:41 PM
you've got great taste in music, so i will definitely accept the compliment. thanks so much for checking it out. [ Reply to This ]
i &mdash 05/25/08 - 08:43:48 PM
think this is very good, Michael.I dont know a thing about dub but this sound very enjoyable to my ears.A Cool and groovy bassline. I also enjoyed the asian flavour due to the sampling.
Congratulations, my good friend.

Yep &mdash 05/26/08 - 03:41:30 PM
That singing is great. I really like the beats and floating background noises too. [ Reply to This ]
thanks PV &mdash 05/26/08 - 10:25:16 PM
the noises are a car that i toyed with in a sampler; just discovered the joys of sampling, now i need to get a digital field recorder. so glad you liked this one, wasn't sure if anyone would get into it. [ Reply to This ]
Field recording &mdash 05/27/08 - 12:17:32 PM
I've been thinking I need a digital field recorder... let me know if you get one that you like! [ Reply to This ]
Field Recorder &mdash 05/29/08 - 06:31:27 PM
illuminati got one the other day that he loves and it wasn't expensive. I should ask him what it was. [ Reply to This ]
was &mdash 05/29/08 - 07:11:16 PM
was it one of those Zoom recorders. they are supposed to be pertty good at only $199. that's $199 more than I can afford right now. [ Reply to This ]

atmospheric and mysterious sounding. Great mix of sounds and the nice voice really does add to it all..... lot's of mental visuals to this, cheers M [ Reply to This ]
Wow &mdash 05/27/08 - 01:34:52 PM
This is heavy, like it! Kind of psychedelic in some ways, floating, flying, diving... The bass is awesome! Woh! [ Reply to This ]
Very Cool &mdash 05/27/08 - 03:05:01 PM
You always seem to throw together very interesting peices. They're unique pieces, but they're not bizarre for weirdness sake. It's like you find a bunch of unrelated bits and make them work in unison. Love it. It might be my junky work speakers, but I'd like to hear more of that bass. [ Reply to This ]
thanks &mdash 05/27/08 - 04:04:33 PM
glad you like the song (and my haphazard approach). i think it must be your work speakers though, the bass is pretty cranking. thanbks so much for listening. [ Reply to This ]
diggin it &mdash 05/27/08 - 06:42:10 PM
This is really cool &mdash 05/27/08 - 07:14:13 PM
the whole time I'm listening to this .. a rap to { a} doors song from la. women is going on in my brain. a vital part of the body which is never caught doing 2 things at once in any case.
d/L.. nicely done [ Reply to This ]

Gently it goes, down the stream. This flows rather nicely. I like found sounds.... [ Reply to This ]
Turkish &mdash 05/28/08 - 01:32:57 AM
very cool sounds going on here, you did some great stuff with that vocal track you found. this is very creative. nice beat. it's pretty darn cool, something different. Thanks! [ Reply to This ]
You... sir... &mdash 05/28/08 - 11:38:58 AM
Awesome job, Michael! You know how to capture attention, and then, you do interesting things w/ it while in your possession! Always something neat goin on at your place.
Thanks for the ride! Macca [ Reply to This ]
Dude &mdash 05/28/08 - 06:20:13 PM
Seriously, what can you not do? I really enjoyed this a lot. It reminds me of something off an updated version of Zenyatta Mondatta and I could actually imagine you going crazier with it even. I've been listening to this quite a bit over the last two days and have moved it over to my illustrious iTunes Best of MJ playlist. [ Reply to This ]
Dude you &mdash 06/08/08 - 12:07:02 PM
really are a frickin sound making genius dude ! This is so frickin clever and well done . Love all the sounds and there meshing . Indeed bad ass man ! [ Reply to This ]
Loved it! &mdash 06/13/08 - 10:57:08 PM
I'm sick with envy. Bugger! Of course this music will sooth my selfish pride. [ Reply to This ]
Really good modern dub &mdash 06/15/08 - 04:38:42 AM
Very impressed esp since its a genre that you have never tried. The music is very good and the vocals in the track have been well used. I too like my dub (and find it hard to do, although most of my tracks have dub influences), and you have done really well, its a really good track. [ Reply to This ]
wow-- &mdash 07/04/08 - 11:41:50 PM
this stopped me in my tracks.
I don't know what dub is, so I'm speaking from the intrinsic value I found in it, and not how it may or may not relate to any genre.
I wish I had the skills to play with found art the way you have here.
I like it!
