Preamble:
I am trying out Soundcloud as my player for this blog, starting.... NOW. Let me know if you have any problems. But, so far, i think this is better than the direct MP3 links. Don't you? Please tell me. :)
Okay... onto the blog post:
Last night I posted a lazy little groove. Driving home from work today (listening to said groove), I started singing. I think the lyrics and melody I put together worked. I actually pulled over and recorded my vocals into my Blackberry while the tune was playing in the background on my car stereo. Glad I did. I definitely would have forgotten otherwise.
Anyway... later in the evening I remixed the rough tune from the evening before. It's much cleaner now. And I added my vocal part. I also added a lame-ass falsetto part to represent the pretty girl vocal that will be on there soon.
LISTEN HERE
The tune... some of the details I gave last night. The drum loop I made on my iPad with a Korg app. Then I got it into Protools and added minimalist bass, guitar, and keys. Tonight (as previously noted) i added vocals and remixed. I also added finger snaps. Not some lame-ass sampled snaps, mind you. LOL. Thems is real snaps.
This is without a doubt the best of the new ones. It needs the girl... it needs another part (bridge at least), and maybe another verse or two? LOL. But, regardless... even with those shortcomings, I think this one obviously wins. We'll see. Enjoy.
