Last summer some time I got around to doing something I had meant to do for a little while. I reversed one channel of a few 1960’s songs in the belief they would produce an interesting and enjoyable effect.
My reasoning was as follows; when stereo recording technology was first used in the production of popular music releases, having proven its worth in the classical genre the years previous, instruments and voices tended to be put into either the left or right speaker (this was a time before pan pots). What this means is that you can reverse one speaker without effecting the content of the other. Oh snap! The possibilities here really rock my world. You can have the rhythm section solidly doing their thing whilst the voice and other sundry items enter a new world of sonic diversity whilst remaining in context.
‘Who should I try this on?’ I thought.’ Who have I listened to to death and would like to experience afresh again?’ I pondered. Who else? The Beatles….
Enjoy! (or get really mad and think I’m an idiot, I don’t particularly mind).
#1 ELEANOR RIGBY
#2 DRIVE MY CAR
#3 YELLOW SUBMARINE (aka ‘Near Reversal Lake’)
One observation I’ve made in reversing music (something I do quite often) is that it takes on a very Eastern feel. So, naturally you would expect Eastern music to take on a Western feel when reversed right? Well, no. It just sounds more Eastern. I haven’t figured out why yet. Why not try it for yourself, it’s fascinating stuff and it seldom hurts anyone.
