8 RIDEBELL


a lazy saxophone trill falls onto a very strange percussion and organ backing - an utterly unique juxtaposition of 8 very disparate fairlight samples - magic! the inspired use of pitch, “tuning” the bell of a ride cymbal so it creates a very musical melody – that’s what makes this little piece really unique.

in fact, having such a degree of control of pitch, duration, etc. felt really liberating – in the recording studio, the bell of a ride cymbal sounds at one pitch, or at best, a handful of pitches if your drummer is skilled. in the fairlight – it becomes a new musical instrument because of just how easily it can be tuned to play a melody…
