How The Pharcyde and J Dilla Went BACKWARDS on "Drop"
Added 2024-08-09 16:39:13 +0000 UTCThe Pharcyde song "Drop" is all about going backwards, but backwards to go forwards. Let's see how far back this goes.
NOTE: This is the Full Edit, which is 3 minutes longer than the YouTube Edit

2024-08-12 02:33:22 +0000 UTCI didn’t go all the way into it cuz it’s complicated, but basically, the strings are 7 notes repeating in octaves, forming several octaves worth of scales. But then there are foot pedals for each string and you can move each one up or down to make it a half step higher or lower, or put it back in the middle - but seeing a traditional harpist perform, they’re making those adjustments before playing often, or while playing but minor adjustments. So what Dorothy Ashby Is doing is crazy!

2024-08-10 01:56:44 +0000 UTCI was hoping you'd mention how the group worked with a speech pathologist for the video so that their mouths were forming the correct shapes for their words when played "forward" for the playback.
