“Superstition” Gets Broken Down, Built Back Up
A musician by the name of Funkscribe somehow got his hands on the original mutlitrack masters of Stevie Wonder’s “Superstition,” so he did what any music geek with a computer and a dream would do: He imported the tracks into ProTools in hopes of figuring out just how the song came to be. And the results are pretty wow; sure, watching the clip means you’re basically staring at a dude fiddle with his computer for five-plus minutes, but listening to this game of aural Jenga–which includes eight clavinet tracks–certainly made me hear the full track (located below) differently.
Obviously, all of this falls under the “watch it before the copyright cops get to it” umbrella, so hop to.
