  • @crouchie, great tune. Love the changes throughout, and the manic beat. I'd agree it's too long, but it's fun. Great mix and production. I like the way the sound evolves from section to section.

    I usually start out not having a clue what something is going to sound like. :D My entry this month being the exception.

    ok, too long, an instrumental, slightly dodgy snare sound, done 2 years ago

    @crouchie I've listened to this one 4 consecutive times now. The first time I couldn't identify the theme of the song but there was something that kept my interest. I had to listen again. Then I realised that it's the sound I like and I started to hear the theme. I like the glitch flavor, I like when the sound is "dirty". After listening the third time I really enjoy the song. I can't pinpoint what it is I like but I'm gonna listen a fifth time now. :smile:

    Thank u! 5 listens!! Beyond the call of duty! Very kind, thanks for your comments (the bit I like is the chorused bass sound - stuck the effect on something from Virsynth and loved it ever since...!!). Cheers

    Frustrating though. I want all my tunes to sound a certain way and they end up bollocks (with the occasional redeeming feature ;-) ). I just liked the glitchy/big beatness of this one. Thought about some sort of vocal at some point (that might have gone some way to excusing its length) but didn't want to mess with it in the end. Many thanks as always!

    I enjoyed this! I'm a longtime fan of the late 70's UK punk scene, and I don't know if it's that, or because I happened to be listening to PIL not long before I played your track, but your vocals reminded me a bit of John Lydon, in style and attitude. I would maybe have liked to hear the lyrics better, but really, a lot of music I really enjoy is hard to understand lyrically, so take that FWIW.. cheers!

    Many thanks. The early to mid 70's scene was invigorating as well. Pub rock changed my musical DNA, then Punk completely fucked it up. Brilliant. Proud to have served for her back then. I will always owe the bitch :) Here's one of those early bands:

  • @theconnactic said:
    @marliess, another very tight production from you. I can help being reminded of Oingo Boingo and 80’s new wave (Trio, Roxy Music, Heaven 17 etc). Very cool!

    Thanks Dimitri, much appreciated. I'm gonna try to be a bit more progressive next month and sound like the 90's insread of the 80's

  • @DefRobot said:
    @marliess Echoes of Skater Boi in the storyline? But way cooler lyrics. I love the call and response vocals! Reminded me of Sparks vocals on the response.
    Great guitar work and good sounding drums. Lovely :)

    Thanks dude. Just checked out skater boi on youtube, definitely parallels in the narrative, tho I'm about 107M views behind on YouTube! ...if i were on YouTube ;). Thanks for having a listen

    A very underestimated or misunderstood word in the rock/pop canon is kooky. I like kooky. Rarely makes an appearance in other 'art forms', because they take themselves TOO SERIOUSLY. This is kooky. Love lyrics like this, a whole set of references condensed into a narrative. Well done. The overall production sounded a bit tinny to me, but by the same token this made me feel as though I was way back when and listening to it on the radio. Not altogether a bad thing considering the content...good effort.

    Thanks Mr JGY, kooky as charged :). The tinniness I think comes from the vocal treatment i used...i ran everything through micRoom, which cleaned up the vocal low end nicely but added a subtle phasey tinniness to the vox. Listening to the instrumental alone I don't think its there...but then again I'm still climbing the EQ mountain. Thanks for having a listen.

    This is mine for July: The name came from the giant with hundred eyes from the greek mythology, servant of Hera and treacherously killed by Hermes. Lots of overdriven guitar solos, including a lightning fast guitar improvisation, contrast with sweet, 80-ish DX pianos and clean, funky rhythms. The drums were synthesized with an iOS synth by FabFilter, Twin 2, and played with my ever-trustworthy BOSS DR-5.

    @theconnactic Dimitri, love the video, the bassline, the speedy guitar solo (and how amazingly clean your playing is), and the funky guitars in the outro. Masterful, multi-instrumental, metrenomic (don't know if that's an actual word :) )

  • @trackedout said:

    Dude, sounds like a good, down-tempo tune but not sure if the trem like effect over the whole production is intentional? Renders it a tough listen

  • @realdavidai said:
    This is my song called “Dream”. I’m blending my music hobby with my current university studies of Chinese. So I snuck in some Spoken Chinese. Also used the Pipa in GarageBand to add a touch of traditional to the track.

    @realdavidai catchy tune with smooth melody, tasteful use of autune (oxymoron? :) ) too. Not my genre of music at all but a cracker of a tune, great job!

  • @DefRobot said:

    After getting jaded with the long process of making my last entry, I decided to give myself a task for this month.
    I had to write, record, mix and master the song within a week to keep it fresh.
    I recorded it entirely in Cubasis. A kick from Patterning, the rest of the drums from inside Cubasis.
    Live Bass guitar with some slight sequenced bass under and a sprinkle of Gadget.
    Guitar is played through Bias FX.
    Vocals have some Virsyn Reverb on the leads. Mors eq is on vox too.

    @DefRobot really like the bassline on the intro, great lyric about the devil paying your wages. Heaps of space in the mix which really lets the the dynamics of the tune go to work. I'd be stoked to churn one out like this, great effort.

  • @JohnnyGoodyear said:
    As some of you know I am limited in production skills and tend to avoid anything more than a basic mix. I have to admit I did try for a 70s revival country band sound here and ended up sufficiently wide of the mark that I couldn't seem to make my way back. Subject matter/inspiration goes to @bluepunk as the words for this (which, as ever, came first) were prompted by a discussion around religion that we had/have been having...

    Not my best work, but I like the first two lines sufficiently (words below the spoiler) that I'm pretty sure I'll come back to this draft for another go etc.

    Another tune this month from a genre I'd never give time to ordinarily...my loss. The keyboard melody, percussion and vocal went together fantasically well. I couldn't make out every lyric but it didnt matter...i just sat back and enjoyed it. Production wise the only thing that sprang to mind was bumping the level of low end up a tad (but could just be my shitty ear buds).

    Thanks for this one @Bluepunk. Your tunes have a dyslexic unpredictability where you dont know whether they will explode or jam on the breaks...or both in quick succession. Paired with your vocals and guitar tones it makes for a very entertaining listen, well done.

  • @crouchie said:

    ok, too long, an instrumental, slightly dodgy snare sound, done 2 years ago, but this is the only tune i've ever done that sounds like i wanted it to. am swamped this month but wanted to keep momentum going since returning to the fold

    loops from dm1, thesys, virsynth, glitchbreaks all added as audio to the old auria and then lots of effects thrown at it :-)

    @crouchie actually thought the snare was a pretty cool centre piece to the first half and latter parts of your tune. The snare was maybe a touch loud but brought some great intensity at the centre of all those great glitches and grooves. Would love to see some funky and/or distorted guitar weaving through in places but I'm just projecting :). Well done and thanks for sharing

  • @JohnnyGoodyear I really love that track, musically and melodically your best yet for sure - it's a great song with a really good vocal melody that is just a pleasure to listen to. I would buy this for sure.

    The mix is a little bit honky sounding, I think it's the reverb tail mostly, and a lack of low-end warmth. A little bit of tweaking is all that's required to make this sound a lot better - I wonder if you would let me remix it? I did a remix for @crouchie last month in the same spirit, and I think I improved on the original (I'll link to the file on Dropbox here so you can judge for yourself).

    Anyway not much to say apart from this is just a great track. It's rare for you to have a chorus, and a more traditional song structure but in this case I think it's worked very well. More of these please, it's a great complement to your more obscure and arty side. And when you find a way to fuse the artiness seamlessly with the catchiness there will be no stopping you.

    He's right! He did a great job on the mix and I learnt a lot

  • @Bluepunk I'll be honest here I've no idea what the song is about, but whatever it is it's made you very angry. The pauses and comments are hilarious but again I'm not quite sure why, maybe it's just their sheer randomness and sillyness.

    I think it would help if you posted the lyrics with your tunes, just so we can get some additional insight into that formerly drug-addled mind of yours and follow your songs more closely, because in this one I struggled to follow the narrative (assuming there is such a thing of course).

    Musically this is very much in the (Blue) punk mould, tight and aggressive, 1 minute and fifty-one seconds of pure bile. Not the kind of music my mother-in-law would like, so that'sdefinitely a good thing.

  • @rickwaugh said:
    @Bluepunk, great tune. Love your voice, and the guitar tone is to die for. It is so absolutely punk. Love the overall feel of the song. One complaint is there is maybe a bit too much stop and start? Which is the exact opposite of what I usually say. ;) Great job.

    Wow! Thank you. A drum comment away from a marriage proposal :) As a non voice or string merchant, I thank The mic and Guitarism. The tone is Guitarism (No internal effects) minced through the Engl Powerball amp with a splash of Noise Filter and Overdrive. Oh, and in the CAB room, 2 x Dynamic 57's were sledged into the bottom cones.
    Cheers.

  • @JohnnyGoodyear Lovely piano introduction. I hope this isn't offensive to you, but your vocals on this sound to me like Barry Gibb when he sings in his lower range. In a good way.
    I've listened to this a few times now and it bears repeat listening, good production, clarity to everything. Great laid back vibe here.

    So very kind, thanks. Next month the plan is to calm down and shall be attempting to actually sing on a song. Mmmm. :)

  • @Bluepunk Determinedly spitting in the face of commercialisation and the traditional verse/chorus/verse structure. Angry yet engaging. Stop/start songs aren't easy to produce or play but I think you've done a great job here.
    Keeps interest throughout and on repeated plays through the song. You certainly put the most emotion you can into your vocal performance and I can't commend that highly enough.

  • @crouchie Takes a while to get going, great kick in once it all crashes in. Immediate thoughts of New Order at first, but then some very original sounds come in.
    I can hear The Orb, Kraftwerk...
    Plenty going on to keep interest. Did you set out with a see how it progresses kind of writing here? That's how it feels.
    It might benefit from you revising at a later date and plucking out some bits, but there are definitely some great moments in this.

    Thank you boss. They all start out as love songs but the divorce aspect excites the few writing bones I possess far more. Anger in Art. Love in Life. My mother-in-law enjoys this stuff. Time to find one that still drools over James Last and Perry Como. Cheers again. :)

    Aww, shucks, thanks. Glad you picked the lyric out, with the song being about regretting the selling of your soul. I think I'll be editing the song at some point,to make it punchier and shorter.

    Ha :D thanks. I have grown to like the sound of Autotune...though when it first became a thing I despised it. I guess similar how I hated jazz as a kid then somehow ended up loving it after trying it.

    Thank YOU. And I do because last months chat about having some semblance of control stuck. Had to use it on those stops and starts. Sparingly of course. Thank the neighbours for allowing me to voice emotions with purpose. As I'm flanked by thoughtful, fluent Welsh speakers, I may scribe one for them in their native tongue as a thanks. They keep mumbling words over the fence after I've finished a shouting sesh. 'Fwcia bant you haliwr.' Sure it's complimentary. :)

    Ah thank you, and for the translation by your girlfriend. Now I can answer them with 'yes please, red roses..... and yes, I am a wanker.' :)
