Excellent (original edit)

The full-length original version of the 2002 synth/sampler/vocoder track "Excellent", a spontaneous co-production between Andreas Viklund and Petter Senften. This song has only been performed live once (in Kiruna, Sweden, in March 2003). A shorter radio edit of the song can be found all over the internet, but this version has (as far as I can remember) never been officially released. For all music tech nerds out there: This is a drumloop from the Roland XP-30 played live in normal tempo and half tempo simultaneously, combined with a filtered supersaw arpeggio played live on the Roland JP8000. The intro pad (also JP8000)and additional drums were pieced together afterwords, to match the live recording. And finally, we ran some random vocal samples through a vocoder to get the chord-based melody of the song. Unacceptable behaviour? No... Excellent!
