The Complete Lesson

I lovingly dedicate this to two of my idols, DJ Shadow & Cut Chemist, and their The Lesson tracks that inspired so many of us. These constantly progressing mega-chop tracks take forever to make, and are a labor of love. Just a small segment can take days to conceive, chop, and assemble. That said, it's so so worth it. I've been working on a tweaking this version of and on for nearly 15 years.
I took it to an extreme at first. The drums alone change every bar for nearly the first 5 minutes. The challenge is keeping things cohesive while pushing the track forward at a break neck speed. I hope I achieved that here. Either way, it was fun to make, and I can't wait to get started on the next one.
