Remember Me (Part Two)

Written in 1991 / Recorded in 1994 and 1995

Remember Me was originally a song I wrote for piano and voices as the closing track of the soundtrack version of Zone, a students' theatrical project, in the end of 1991. That piano piece is featured in this video after the sequel jam section of Part One, from around 3:17, followed by the improvisation section played by the piano and voice, overlapped with my similar attempts made by the guitar and voice, occasionally played at double speed. I have no hesitation to admit that this section was heavily inspired from Robert Wyatt's solo works. The mixing of this improvisation section was newly made while I was making this video edition, which is designed to gradually bring back the second half of studio jam by my band called Culotte. This section of the jam was absolutely a spontaneous thing mainly led by the drummer and me on the guitar. The voices singing 'la la la...' were added soon after the studio recording by myself, to enhance the structure of this two-chord jam. The final bit, a short polyphonic reprise of the piano theme arranged for voice quartet, was all done by myself, at the final stage of entire recording of Part Two. The same arrangement for string quartet featured in the intro played a role for guiding my voices in ghost tracks as well.
