Promise Land: beauty and the beast

Dennis Rollins didn’t want to surround Eska’s voice with other lovely sounds – so what did he do?

Eska’s voice is very beautiful. Cleveland Watkiss, who also did a remix for SoundJunction, described it as ‘angelic.’ Should it be surrounded by beautiful, angelic sounds, then? Tunde Jegede’s kora is certainly very beautiful. But Dennis decided that he wanted to use another sound that was ‘ugly.

By contrasting a beautiful sound with an ugly one, a musician or remixer can create a very interesting arrangement.
