Masahiro Fujioka: soprano and tenor saxes

Conceived as a funkier electric-Miles kind of tune, structure was given by a 2-chord bridge and the insertion of samples that came to me off the ‘net. These Bush samples are just what was at hand, transformed into melodies by Antares kantos software. Porky Pig and Richard Nixon also seemed to beg for inclusion, inspired by Bush’s remarks. This tune was the first experiment in transcontinental web recording for me. A rough RMX/Stick/Rhodes track with samples were posted to Masahiro Fujioka in Tokyo, who added his parts. Originally, I planned to re-do the piano part to accommodate his ideas, but Masahiro’s playing was so on the money that the temp track stayed and the writing really just evolved off of an 8-bar phrase and basic chord roadmap. Fujioka-san did all the sax electronic effects as well.
