Ugress - A Certain Sadness (Sinister Dexter Remix) (Livestream Music Video)
We let the wind blow up a brain storm... This is a live performance re-make of classic bossa nova track “A Certain Sadness“ from 1967. This track has an interesting story:
Back in the early 2000s while I was walking the wildness of questionable FTP servers I (cough cough) “stumbled upon“ a folder of a capella voice samples. They didn’t have any sensible filenames or metadata, so I had no idea where they originated from. This was before shazam and reverse searches and all that. I had fun making experimental tracks with them for both Ugress and side projects (Ninja 9000), but since I didn’t know where the voices came from, I did not release these tracks publically.
This track was only unofficially released as the track “Sinister Dexter“ on the unofficial Chromosome Corrupt EP back in 2006 or 2007. This EP was only available as a free download and never released on any digital services.
Then fast forward two decades or so, and a few years ago I started getting questions from fans, they wondered what the track was, who was singing in “that rain song“. By then, early 2020s, we had something called the “internet“, a series of tubes connected to various information systems. With some of these technical systems you could enter text into boxes on the screen and it would look up those words in huge indexes and it would tell you if the text also appeared elsewhere. Cleverly using these complicated systems, I then discovered that these words were indeed used in a song called “A Certain Sadness“, originally released in 1967 by Astrud Gilberto and Walter Wanderley.
And then fast forward a bit further to today, summer of 2024, and I was working on a brand new track with “melancholic robots in rainy monsoon vintage technology castles“, and the visuals for the track were ready to be tested, but the track wasn’t yet presentable. But I wanted to test out the rainy visuals for a livestream, and then I thought “hey what about that rain song“.
So here we are. This was performed live in episode 32, June 2024. I’m playing the electric violin and virtual clarinet. I’m dropping this here on Youtube for (cough cough) “archival purposes“... it’s a way to let fans listen to the song, since it’s no longer available anywhere and I do get questions about it from time to time where they can find it.
