Thank you. Oh, I'm suffering with ripped ligaments, muscles and stockings now alright. Stupid idea.
Haha @Bluepunk you're a crazy dude with tons of humour
NOT a song by any stretch of the imagination, but another pastiche.
I really enjoy Sunn O))) (particularly their collaboration with Scott Walker a couple of years ago), but grow somewhat tired of all the music scribblers and chatterers repeating the same things about "walls of tube amps and vintage distortion boxes being magic"
So, I set out to replicate the sound without either.
It's just the Ibanez Power Guitar Soundfont fed through Audio Damage Grind and FuzzPlus3.
I wonder how it would fare in a blindfold test? Thanks for listening.
I used to build tube amps... IMO you don't need a wall. A small combo is enough to create magic! anyway, this was interesting. Part of it reminded me of what it might sound like to be in the engine room of a battleship under full throttle. And part of it reminded me of something I've heard in Pink Floyd's "The Wall", of which I'm overdue for a listen. I don't have much experience with anesthetics, but this didn't put me to sleep. It may have left me a little numb though, so I get it.
Thanks!
I know exactly what you mean; under many conditions my little VibroChamp out powers my Twin.
@moff
Very Orb/KLF like (KLF as in the non chart pop version). Bit of Kraftwerk for the beats.
Lovely mix and sounds going on. Keeps interest with plenty of change progressing through. Good job.
@theconnactic I love the space in this. Great guitar work as always - although I'm not a fan of the Yngwie? type shredding.
Drums are great, what did you use?
I remember seeing L7 at Nottingham Rock City back in the day. Who doesn't love a punky girl group with guitars?!
Now, the moves...I would be in bed or crawling round the room after throwing such shapes. I hope you did a proper warm up first?!
Looks like you're getting the hang of LumaFusion? I'm itching to use it myself, so you're all prewarned for next month!
Thank you! The drums were played in the built in keyboard into Lyra - first because DPP won’t open on iOS 11, and also because chokes are so straightforward with Lyra - and a EXS drum library I copied into Auria’s Sampler Instruments folder (Lyra can open most EXS libraries).
@JeffChasteen My old band used to make noise like this in the rehearsal room by leaning their guitars against their amps, hitting them occasionally and then messing with the fx pedals.
It was in the days before I picked a guitar up, so I would be making echoey vocal noises like that too.
Probably sounded better than the stuff we considered to be 'songs'.
Yours here could almost be considered jazz?
Put me in mind of Pink Floyd if anything, on their more experimental early albums.
Can seriously mess with your head on the wrong substances.
Thanks for listening!
Sunn 0))) really do excell at this genre (sub genre?) I do especially recommend Soused, their collaboration with the great Scott Walker.
@DefRobot Ta for watching. Have another L7 track lined up but LumaFusion is highly addictive and it has to go to sleep until I get some songs listened to and enjoyed/reviewed. And a song. 26 photos were on this iPad pre Luma. Now...... hundreds of video clips. The only workflow I've nailed down after two vids is NOT using 'transitions,' because my brain was already full after the 'Overlay title' lesson. But ALL of it was discovered by accident or mistake. Many, MANY mistakes have I made. It is a miracle thing... like all this iOS music making gear. Still can't believe what these apps allow us to achieve. Good luck, have fun and enjoy.
@rickwaugh That's a very nice piece, lovely atmosphere and mood, quite classical sounding but with a contemporary twist. Like the repeated motif in the melody, and the change around the two minute mark before coming back to the original melody.
@Shaken&;Stirred Firstly good job on making a track in Gadget that doesn't sound like it was made in Gadget, an achievement in itself
The whole thing has a raw feel that is unusual in a sequenced tune, it has a handmade feel that you don't normally get from a Gadget track. The melodies are nice and quirky, and there is a bounce to the groove.
I like the bridge instrumental section, the chimey bell sounds are a nice contrast to the harder-edged instruments in the rest of the track. One criticism I do have is that the vocal does feel a little repetitive towards the end, would be nice to have changed it up a bit there for some additional variety.
@fattigman Really excellent Ukulele playing there, brilliant, I was mesmerised. The singing was really good as well, overall a great performance that was a joy to watch and listen to. Extra points for the T-shirt as well.
Love the bit when your boy interrupts, my kids do that to me all the time but you handle it with far more grace than I do
And you didn't even drop a beat, unflappable performer.
Very nice cover overall. More Ukulele please.
Hey man, thanks for listening and providing feedback, I appreciate it! I'm relieved to hear what you say about the track with respect to Gadget. I often hear ppl say that stuff done in Gadget all sounds "like Gadget", and I was thinking (hoping) that my stuff didn't, so I appreciate the confirmation of that.
Your feedback is very detailed, and shows you gave it a careful listen, so thanks again! regarding the repetition at the end, yeah, I hear ya. I've often heard/read that, in songwriting "repetition is your friend", but maybe I took it a little far in this case. Or, more likely need to vary what else is going on around it. Cheers!
@DefRobot good job on the production, it sounds pretty good overall although I would have liked to hear a bit more warmth in the guitar tone but that's a subjective personal preference.
Vocal sounds good and is at the right level for the song. Nice varied arrangement that breathes with dynamics. The second section after the pause is particularly nice. Good job - keep them coming!
This is awesome, enjoyed listening. I'm a big fan of textural music and I do feel that you captured the concept of a real 'space'. It can be hard to give critique on music forms such as this, but if I was going to say anything it's that after the texture started and became established, it felt like it took a while to feel the 'journey' through the composition start to take form (was wondering if it was just going to stay the same). Probably just adjusting my ears to listening to this kind of form, because the second half flowed beautifully and on the second listen I didn't get that kind of feeling at all, and felt that it evolved beautifully throughout.
I'll throw this in (I like short form compositions!):
It's built from the overtones of my electric bass (with portamento from a retuner lever on it's high string) and the overtones (bowed) from my double bass, then put through the mangler of my 'Harmonic Algoritm' theoretical concept which I wrote a thesis on last year!
I just finished sampling these instruments and arranging them into BM3 banks (which emulate the performability of the real instruments) so I was experimenting composing with them on BM3's timeline.
Not mastered, so turn it up!
Thanks @richardyot
I felt it became an experiment in production in Auria, so I lost the song a bit...
But I felt like I learnt a lot making this one and I'm reaping the benefits on my latest song
Very cool Señor South! Not much to recommend, very tasteful mix, good use of "sonic space", pleasing to listen to, everything just fit! I could picture it in a movie, maybe as a character walked through a forest or jungle. There was one sound that made me think of someone stepping on sticks, or dry leaves.
Was this put together in BM3, or elsewhere?
Cheers! After tracking, editing and exporting the individual samples from Auria Pro, I loaded them into a BM3 bank and it was it was all done inside BM3 to completion.
Here's a 'mastered' version (rough boost in Final Touch) for those without large speakers:

Thank you so much, Oscar.
That really means a lot; I truly respect your opinion and sense of aesthetics.
Thanks again,
Jeff
Hi there.
I'm waiting for some gear to arrive, and I'm a bit anxious about it,
So I decided to do a track on the old convoluted ways with minimal iOS software and a simple idea,
It's mostly about doing things the way they have to be done, instead of how you'd like them,
So I guess it's a sincere piece.
Thank you very much @richardyot I will definitely do more ukulele songs.
I'm glad you noticed the t-shirt
@studs1966 , another very good one. I don’t care if it goes on for 6+ minutes, as long as it keep grabbing my interest, and your song does. Nice job!
@rickwaugh, interesting percussive intro, and nice melodies. Sounds like a sci-fi movie soundtrack. Very enjoyable!
@Shaken&;Stirred, another one that I find weird, but I mean this as a compliment. Lots of different influences at the same time. Perhaps 90’s crossover music, or Mr Bungle? Good mix and nice arrangement. Congrats!
