Promise Land: a brass riff transformed

Dennis Rollins explains how something that sounds odd on its own can often sound great collectively

Dennis found a ‘riff’ from David Horne’s Emerging Dances and thought it would work very well with the other parts of his remix.

Listen to the brass riff from David Horne’s Emerging Dances. Do you hear something a little strange? Can you hear the ‘join’ that Dennis is talking about?

As Dennis explains, an individual part that’s a little strange can sound very effective when you hear it in an arrangement with lots of other parts. Are there any other parts in Dennis’ Promise Land remix that you think sound a little strange on their own?
