Back to Weena [disquiet0264- Time Travel]

"In the 1960, film version, The name "George" was given to the time traveller. Travelling through different times, George reaches AD 802701 where he finds a girl drowning in the shallow, and the Elois are indifferent. He rescues her and comes to know her name – Weena. Unlike the novel, George does not leave Weena dead. He rescues the Elois and Weena and eventually returns to the future to be reunited with her. Weena was played by Yvette Mimieux." (wikipedia abridged)

Track made in Pro tools 11 using the in-house drum and organ. Lots of subtle tempo changes and loops slightly off from the beat. used the elastic audio in both the rhythm and varispeed mode. The time machine is depicted as a mechanical device with rotating discs and this is in part why I used overlayed fast clicking rhythms. A small school choir sample loops through the second half subject to filter sweeps out of synch with the loop length.

I did struggle with the mix and capturing that odd dislocating time feeling. I feel that the last minute was the most successful.
