The start of a little reggae pastiche - thoughts? Any way I can extend/improve it in an interesting way?

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

How about adding muted guitar chords to double the keyboard?

Les centimètres énigmatiques (snoball), Tuesday, 7 September 2010 22:33 (thirteen years ago) link

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

thanks man! i was just thinking that i'd love to do a minneapolis show, but i don't really have any contacts in the electronic/indie scene there (my bros are all jazz/salsa/brass band horn players).

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)

btw i thought i posted it here, but n/a did a video for the studio version of that song: http://vimeo.com/15282315

This is the first home-recording I've made in a very long time. It's a demo of a song called Fiction.

An album and a six-song EP. There's a link to an e-version of the EP on this thread: The vaguely rolling ExDetectives thread of self-promotion (Do Not Read If You Hate Us)

New album on the way in a couple of months (need to get some $$$ to master it)

Here is a couple of tunes from my newish band, pretty much made with a couple overdubs on practice recordings. I'm going to sit down and do another mix session this week and add in the overdub we did on one tune on Sunday.

Don't remember if I ever posted the whole of the bedroom album I recorded a couple of years back... It starts off kind of shit and gets kind of better as it goes on.

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.

big jeans (lou), Thursday, 28 October 2010 17:07 (thirteen years ago) link

sounds great. reverb on the vocals is really nice, what are you using for that?

bows don't kill people, arrows do (Jordan), Thursday, 28 October 2010 17:41 (thirteen years ago) link

Thanks, Jordan. We didn't use anything fancy for the reverb--just GarageBand.

big jeans (lou), Thursday, 28 October 2010 21:52 (thirteen years ago) link

Pretty happy with this track i finished a couple weeks ago, i guess its an attempt at a Kompakt type track, made with ableton (which i am just learning) and reaktor. definitely needs some work on the mix and eqs
