Where I Wait
Rework of a song by Null + Void & Dave Gahan
I had the opportunity to reaarrange a song by one of my favourite electro artists, Null + Void, featuring vocals by Dave Gahan from Depeche Mode. I rearranged the song for strings and a broken celesta, creating a very different backdrop for Dave's voice. My rework was released alongside a remix by Alva Noto.
“I really like how the song is written, with a long progression of chords and a bit old fashioned romantic melody. When I was creating the arrangement I had an image in my mind of a 19th century Viennese salon but somehow timewarped so it’s set in the future too. You could picture Dave there, performing with a string quartet to a group of steam punks and aricrats who are all dressed in black. The room is full of vapour and smoke.”
