"Confusion" is the second song from the 1979 #ElectricLightOrchestra (ELO) album #Discovery. It features #12stringAcousticGuitar and #vocoder. It was released in the UK as a #doubleAside single with "#LastTrainToLondon". It peaked at number 8 in the #UKSinglesChart, making it the fourth consecutive top 10 single to be taken from the Discovery album. In the #UnitedStates the song was released as a single with "Poker" on the B-side becoming a more modest hit.

I can trace major gaps in my cultural knowledge to the time just before and the year or so after the birth of each of my kids. Significant movies, tv shows, and music releases are just not part of my history.
With that in mind, I recently discovered Imogen Heap and her rather stunning piece "Hide And Seek" from 2005.

The history and techniques behind the music video are also wonderful.

🌬️🎻 „Gust of Wind“ von @​pharrell feat. @​daftpunk , eine zu Unrecht weniger bekannte Kooperation zwischen diesen Artists (am bekanntesten natürlich die beiden Pharrell-Features auf „Get Lucky“ und „Lose Yourself to Dance“). #zdfmagazin

Behind the music:
As I was sitting at the keyboard I came across this chord progression that I rather liked, and it had a Latin feel to it. Inspired by Concierto de Aranjuez and Chick Corea's Spain, I developed it further into a jazz fusion kind of way. The vocals are heavily processed vocoder using text from the 15th century Catalan poet Ausias March. Barcelona is one of my favourite cities and also the name of a shop here that imports all manner of wonderful things from Spain.

I had a lot of fun with the Waves OVox vocoder effect on this track, creating harmonies using the poetic reading in Catalan. The main repeated phrase is 'diré-l que trop en vós" which loosely translates to "I shall say what I find in you". I used the effect again for the glitchy rhythmic melody, processing my own voice making percussive noises.

Now available on BandCamp, coming to streaming in mid-October.
