I have a CD of Egisto Macchi “I futuribilli”. Not really my thing, as I like my rhythms more obvious.
However, the last track (“Reperti Lunari”) fits nicely at the end of a particular mix that I did for someone. I thought so anyway. They liked the rest of the mix and said that Egisto’s track was a “dirge”. I didn’t say anything in response. If I had, I might have said that it was “intense, almost beautiful”.
Yesterday, out of curiosity, I pitched it up. I was struck by how pretty it was. And almost ordinary. It occurred to me that Egisto might just have taken one of his more mainstream orchestral compositions, and pitched it down.
I seem to recall over the years people here saying that they have pitched up a track to increase its ‘groove quotient’. Has anyone ever tried pitching a track down to give increase its ‘mood quotient’? If so, any recommendations?
