Release 3, Opus 5
May 8, 2000

About 20 years ago (has it been -that- long?), a Swedish studio group,
"Stars on 45", came out with a medley of Beatles songs, sung by impressive
sound-alikes.  To tie the songs together, they used a disco clap-beat
behind the whole thing.  It was so popular that it spawned dozens of copycats
(most notably, Louis Clark's "Hooked on Classics").  Starting with their
third album, however, while they continued to do medleys, the clap-beat
wasn't used much anymore.

So, whatever happened to those folks who spent their whole 15 minutes of fame
slapping their hands together?  Word had it they'd left "Stars on 45" to do
more freelance work.  Little was heard from them for years, until I caught up
with them a few months ago.  I had been "hooked on" a few tunes by the
tracker CyberZip and thought of putting them together as a medley.  I'd been
a big fan of "Stars on 45" and thought a little retro touch would be
interesting to combine with a medley of new music.

When I found the hand-clappers, they were having problems finding work.  A few
of them had taken jobs at an advertising agency doing commercials for "The
Clapper" (you know, clap your hands and the light goes off, that sort of
thing--they did the demos).  I signed them up to do my medly of CyberZip tunes
and we got them in the studio.

Now came the hard part.  "Stars on 45" were noted for how well their studio
singers sounded like the original, so I had to come up with all the same
instruments that CyberZip used in his songs.  After scouring the country
looking for them, I realized I had one more problem...having enough people to
play them all.  See, 3 different drum sets were used, and I only have one
drummer.  Multiply that out, and you see I was going to have to be rather
creative.  What we did was arrange the studio so the each player had 3
instruments on tables near him/her.  Then I highlighted the music so that
when we were playing, for example, "Will We Ever Meet", the music was
highlighted in and the instrument(s) to be played by that person at that point
were on a yellow table.

Not only was there a lot of musical talent involved, the manual dexterity
involved was rather enormous, too, as the shifts from one song to the next
caused such a commotion in the studio we had to practice for weeks switching
instruments without dropping or breaking them.  Gronk got a special rolling
chair to scoot from one drum set to another, as did E. Bonnie Avery to deal
with the myriad of piano and keyboards required.

However, once we all had the movements down, the result was pretty much what
I had hoped.  I hope you enjoy this megamix of CyberZip dance tunes.  It's
not completely his work, it virtually is, hence the name "The Virtual
CyberZip".

If you'd like to use the "Stars on 45" hand clappers in your medley, feel free.
Let me know if you do and perhaps we can pool our efforts into a single
project, "Trax on 44".

You know, as in 44 kilohertz?  CD quality sampling rate?  Ah well, just a
thought...
