Debussy X Fields
Nothing to do with the 80's band Debussy Fields lol. Talking about my personal favorite classical Claude Debussy, considered to be the GOAT of the Impressionists. And we are going to combine that with legendary singer Lee Fields
Rules:
1) must use a piece of Debussy "Nuages" and any Lee Fields vocal sample*
2) outside everything allowed
*Not a Lee Fields remix contest, just want to hear any use of vocal element, even just a stab. Also feel free to use any Lee Fields sample, sample provided for convenience : )

For easy browsing's sake, you can also go to the STBB page: https://soundcloud.com/stbbcollection

Whattup Fam Happy Monday in this bish!

I don't know why I always stuggle to translate beats in my own challenges...perhaps psychological I dunno. I like it enough to submit tho. Looking forward to hearing everyone's flips! : )

Main string chords/chops from Debussy "Nuages"
vocal cuts from Lee Fields "Could Have Been"
added drums, sub bass, and a couple synth pads

For real! Dude is a real deal soul singer. Always blew my mind that this song is kinda hard to find...my personal favorite from him. Really glad you dig it.

Congrats on the win Tone. I used the chops from the Debussy track as my main sample and added a snippet of the Lee Fields for the vocals and added some outside drums, a snippet from the 1981 movie "Clash Of The Titans" and an 808 for the bassline. All chopped, arranged and sequenced on my MPC 1000 (running JJOS2XL). I used track mutes to bounce the stems out using mixdown in song mode before I imported them into Reaper for a quick final mix and master.
