A song by
The Beta Band which despite somewhat silly lyrics is quite beautiful. The first half of the song consists of three phrases layered on top of one another with bass, percussion and sampled accompaniment. The stunningly executed layering of phrases in
The House Song wonderfully illustrates
The Beta Band’s consistently inspiring use of words to establish and reinforce rhythmic structures. The second portion begins with a nice little French/gibberish rap that peters out into a drum and
bass sample-fest complete with tweeting
birds and pitch adjusted
helicopter blades.
