Isolation
I’m on a new Saturday kick. Maybe — OK, I’ll admit it — maybe I overdid the monkey grooming videos, and I might have crossed a line with the squirrel grooming the cat. I regret nothing.
But now I can’t stop listening to tracks of isolated elements from familiar songs, where someone (I have no idea who or how they do it) pulls out the vocals or guitar or bass or any other track.
Today we have David Byrne’s vocals on the classic Talking Heads song, “Once in a Lifetime.” With no music, it really takes on the feel of an incantation or performance art. It starts getting totally strange at about the 3:00 mark and on.
“Here comes the twister!”

OMGosh, that was weird, and somehow I didn’t want it to end!
Yeah, it’s addictive, isn’t it? You do hear a lot of nuances that you can’t hear in the full mix. That’s what I like about these isolated tracks.
Wow, how they isolated that so well, I’d love to know. I wonder if they had access to the original tracks or a copy of them? Thanks for sharing. Can’t wait to find some more of these.
I wish I knew how they do it. Maybe it does have to do with inside people swapping the Pro Tools files or something.
I think you need to get back to writing …
Are you kidding? This is relief from writing!
That was compelling!
Imagine Captain Beefheart having that treatment…I’ll have to check
Found one! https://youtu.be/QZv5iDSa5To It’s bizarre, as you’d expect. 😉
Far out man! It works!!😵
That gave me chills … but in a good way 😉
Def. It’s wild. I like hearing things I can’t hear under the music.
