dear ilx, help us produce this track
http://soundcloud.com/constantlightduo/piano-bass
a quick idea that turned out better than expected but unsure where to take it from here. first thought is some sort of echoey spoken part but i'd rather it not end up sounding like a straight hood ripoff. any thoughts?

sounds really nice. i would add a heavy dilla-style beat, but you know me (actually i would love to sample this).

i do think you could add some subtle percussion, like fast clicky stuff in the background or a reverbed-out tambourine on the 4.
do the bass notes hit on the upbeat or the downbeat?
― the parking garage has more facebook followers than my band (Jordan), Thursday, 2 September 2010 16:16 (thirteen years ago) link
Yeah, I was thinking kind of flickery percussive noises. But that might be something to avoid if you want to not get Post-Rock/IDM crossover comparisons.
― cymose corymb (Karen D. Tregaskin), Thursday, 2 September 2010 16:19 (thirteen years ago) link
good feedback guys. i like the idea of some spidery percussion but the biggest problem is that no click track was used at all, so the timing is almost certainly all over the place - so it couldn't really be a 'beat' per se. the sensible thing to do would be to re-record it but that's kinda against the spirit of what we do..
a tambourine that follows the bass could probably work though, will give it a try. the bass is on 1 & 4 so kinda both the up and downbeats i guess?
also feel free to sample if you desire!

Lazy bad idea: drop it into Ableton and warp it
More complicated idea that will keep the natural live groove: edit it in something which allows you to visualise the wave forms so you can tell where the beat falls naturally, and drop in samples that align

Tune is playing on a loop in my mind right now, so it's good. Are you planning on adding vocals later?

thansk snoball - I would like to add vocals and a middle-eight for variation, but I'm struggling to think up some melody lines. The stupid horn-section is its own worst enemy in that it's all-encompassingly catchy (like you said, it sticks in my head all day).

been doing the backing musician thing for the past year and a half but kinda missing making original stuff...so anyway, here's my first ever attempt at making beat-oriented, dance whatever type stuff....
don't really know what the fuck i'm doing figured fucking around in garageband would be a good way to start

haha matt, your string loop at 1:25 brings back memories of the youtube rap battle that went down between me & my girlfriend vs her brother and his girlfriend.
― bows don't kill people, arrows do (Jordan), Friday, 22 October 2010 20:06 (thirteen years ago) link
haha shit yeah that's the exact loop! i was just using all the corny preset loops and stuff that come with garageband, i don't even know how to use it really yet so i was just kinda winging it...it's a nice loop...also that rap is hilarious...
(and thanks HI DERE...the beginning i was trying to get a "big sky" kate bush type thing...i dunno mostly just learning i guess)

Had the good fortune to work on some tracks with surm recently. We recorded about an hour's worth of stuff--his vocals with me playing along on his synth, just kind of letting out whatever came to us. Big thanks to him for letting me post one of the tracks.
