Keine Mauern (Bremen)

Bremen protest reimagined by Drew Bluetree (Fevered Shiva).

"I chose the source material because it had several interesting elements in it - a drum rhythm, a melodic piece, spoken voices and a rhythmic protest chant. I decided to recreate the drum rhythm and use this as the foundation of the track. After some experimenting I decided it would go well with a bouncy techno groove. I then sliced small snippets of vocal grunts out of the source sample and arranged these in tribal stabs to get a nice call and response feel. I took some slices of the melody ("When the Saints Go Marching In") and created something new with the notes. I used the protest chant as a chorus and emotional "heart" of the track. It was lots of fun to play with the source material and take it somewhere new!"
