Ants In A Forest

Record producer Steve Levine unveils a track made up of elements of classic tracks, suggested by you.

All this week, exclusively for the Early Breakfast Show, Grammy award winning record producer Steve Levine has been creating a brand new tune from the elements of well-loved classic tracks. And the results are BRILLIANT.

On Monday the foundations were laid, with the help of Early Show listeners, who chose the drum track (Ant Music - Adam and the Ants) for Hawk's frankenstein-like song. On Tuesday they picked the bass line ('A Forest' - The Cure), on Wednesday the task was to pick an infectious guitar riff ('The Passenger' - Iggy Pop), and yesterday the best vocal performance was decided upon - infact two - Bjork's vocal on 'Violently Happy' and Pink Floyd's 'Wish You Were Here'. This morning Steve hand-delivered the new track to the studio which we're now calling 'Ants In A Forest'. In addition to Mr. Levine's magic mixing the track has been made even more special by a stellar performance by our Shaun Keaveny who laid down the guitar riff of 'The Passenger' at Steve's studio on Thursday afternoon. A real true 6 Music production!

You can also catch Steve Levine on 主播大秀 Radio 6 Music tonight as he uncovers the magic and wizardry of record production in 'The Record Producers: Pink Floyd' (2100-2230). This exclusive, extended version of the programme is an in-depth look at the recording of the song Breathe, from Dark Side Of The Moon; as well as the discovery of an early recording which Steve found by accident hidden on the Arnold Layne tape! He also presents The Producer's Playlist: Pink Floyd (2230-2300) in which he presents a personal choice of Pink Floyd highlights including See Emily Play, San Tropez, from the Meddle album, and The Division Bell's High Hopes.

主播大秀 6 Music's Pink Floyd night kicks off at 1900 with Uncle Tom Robinson - Do not miss it.
