Description: “Dun Dun Ba Ba (interlude)” by Jacob Collier [OFFICIAL AUDIO] from Djesse Vol. 2 I have been obsessed with the illusion of the ‘Shepard Tone’ for many years now, and I’ve always wanted to have a go at a ‘Shepard Groove’ — i.e. a groove that never stops speeding up. It’s a pretty careful illusion to construct, where one needs to bury the exact groove at half speed within the groove from the off, and so in order to pull it off I called up one of the greatest musical forces in my life, my friend and great teacher Barak Schmool (the man who opened doors for me with Negative Harmony, just intonation, wonky grids, and so much more), to assemble a circle of the greatest Cuban drummers living in London, to pull it off. We sat in a small room in Elephant & Castle, and recorded the groove at two tempos, which I then glued together. The lead singer on this song is in fact me! I recorded it a little slower and sped it up. It’s one take, straight through. Rough, but the vibes are strong.
