[Music] Brap Allgood – The Solution – featuring Maxwell Igan

Brap Allgood - The Solution - featuring Maxwell Igan

Here is a moody piece for y’all.    This took many weeks of effort, followed by a huge pause when my SATA controller card decided to give up its Magic Smoke and die (Whelp gets it, anyway).  All of my audio files were on my SATA drive, including Ableton Live itself.    It took some time and effort, but I finally got access to the drive back.  Whew.

SO, here I present one of my favorite voices of this Now, Maxwell Igan.  He kindly granted me permission to use his voice in my music (before I really even started), so long as I remain respectful about it and maintain the integrity of his words.  I would like to hope I did that, at least. 

Granted, this piece isn’t for everyone– and you won’t much be able to dance to it– but it came straight from my heart, charged with purposeful intent.    As the experiment has been going in recent years, I started with just the voice samples and arranged them first.  All else that you hear was built-up around the vocals, bit by bit, as it occurred to me.  Many layers– heck, I even hit the limits of my computer and software several times, having to bounce things down and around to make room for more.    However, every sound you hear has purposeful meaning, and every nuance is intentional.  It’s a lot deeper than I can possibly relate here…but maybe you’ll find the depth on your own.  Always a nice goal. 

This ambient track will be followed by another as a sort of sequel.  It will have a beat.  I even know what it is called and where the samples (also Max) will come from, but that is as far as I have gotten.  It’s jewelry season here in Trash Palace (we rent a home that is made from other, older, salvaged homes…Max would appreciate this, likely, so I explain) and I have much, much to do.  Music will come and go as I am moved in that direction; I make no promises on when I will complete this next track, but the link will replace this text when I do.

Many, many thanks to Max Igan for being game in this.  His weekly show is the best thing going on the inter-waves and I heartily recommend all to check it out.  I could sample him alone for the rest of my life and never get bored…maybe.  As my wife says…something like “He sounds like a hug.”    I agree enough to repeat it here….  We love you, Max.  I also like you because you think a helluva lot like I do.
