Barton Fink Radio Editing and Mixing

Radio echoing down the hall with the track that is used in the longing stare at the painting "bye bye blues". This is the original instrumental version. Gives a creepy eerie feel as added a long echo and added to the reverberation of the hall it is almost never ending.

I was going to add lo-fi to make the audio sound more authentic and give it an ominous feel but this took away some of the qualities of the old style recording so I left it with just the reverb.

The song speaks of no longer being blue which I feel is what Barton is searching for but this hotel doesn't solve this it will only add to his problems. using the common human trait of hearing a song somewhere else and then it being stuck in your head. That is the reason why Barton hears it as he stare at the painting. It's a moment of realisation of escapism but he doesn't have any of that.
