BF Halloween Theremin Ableton Live Pack

This song was created using acoustic guitar, a Nintendo Entertainment System using MidiNES, synths, samples, and excitement about a blooming relationship. It was recorded in Ableton Live and mixed to a Tascam reel to reel to help warm the sound.
lyrics
Don't it feel good me and you 
We got the kind of love that is true 
Late at night when the people get lonely 
I got you to call my one and only 

Oh baby, man it's going to be 
B and C down in history 
We'll take a boat to a private island 
So it's only just you and me 

Hold me 
Baby 
All through the night 

Oh honey the feeling I get 
When I see you is never second best 
Makes me wanna dance and sing so loudly 
Grab my guitar and play it proudly 

Don't it feel good me and you

B and C Down in History

You ought to know where I’ve been
Though I’m an honest man I never win
Look at me I’ve atrophied
I’m a shell of myself
You wanna make it here 
You’re going up for sale 

Wrap Me Up in Gold
Wrap Me Up in Gold Come on
Wrap Me Up in Gold
Wrap Me Up Wrap me in Gold honey

Anytime I try with anyone
They all have buried heads in crazy stuff
I remember men had integrity and they fought for truth
Are we unprepare and are we through
 
Wrap Me Up in Gold
Wrap Me Up in Gold Won’tcha
Wrap Me Up in Gold Come on
Wrap Me Up in Gold

Cuz you’re hypnotized
By a rectangle
And we’re all right here
But we’re all alone

Wrap Me Up in Gold come on
Wrap Me up in Gold

Wrap Me Up In Gold

From the album Rectangles by Brian Funk. 
Available August 9th, 2023.

Can we get a little peace sign on the side, you mind
I’m looking back and seeing that it’s a part of you I know
Well I had a little in and out of body experience tonight
Where I had to float around drying off and cold, alright

Try and Find Me Will You
Try and Take me with you

Get a little bit closer to the road 
I figure if I’m not there yet then I can go back alone
Is your human nature awake today
Looking back I guess we’re all a fraud, oh no 

Try and Find Me Will You
Call Out to Me 
Try and Take me with you
Try and find me will you go
By me and decide that there’s nothing here for you

Try And Find Me

This is a little song about the crazy lengths one might go to to prove their love to their girl. 

I would rather throw my money in the fire
And all of my things to show I'm no liar
I would drive my car right off of the highest bridge
I would let my body be bashed into a billion bits.
I'd rather take my life
And cut it with a knife
I would rather die than ever leave you
I'd rather get a gun 
And prove to everyone
That I would rather die than ever leave you
I'd never leave you

I tried to recreate the beautiful Univox bass guitar on this track by sampling it and building this Free Ableton Live Pack.   

I'd Never Leave You

With The Stars

This track was made only using sounds from my Casio MT-65 Ableton Live Pack: https://brianfunk.com/casio-mt65

The music was made while following my Weekly Music Mission #19. I rolled some music dice and came up with the notes G, E, D, Ab. 
I decided to work in the key of G major, except I made the VI chord major to accommodate the Ab. You can hear how that note occurs in the rising lead melody, which features alternating notes from two different presets from the Live Pack.

"Tell Me the Answer"
They say one day we'll see each other again
But can you show me a sign
I don't know if I can go for another day
I need peace of mind

Tell me the answer
Tell me the answer
Tell me the answer
Don't leave me behind

I try to carry on and move on with my life
But I've had a problem ignoring it
If you could throw me some kind of sign
I might know where I'm going next

Everywhere I go and everything I do
Barely hanging on and holding out

Tell me the answer
Tell me the answer
Tell me the answer
Tell me the answer
Don't leave me behind

Tell me the answer
Tell me the answer
Tell me the answer
Tell me the answer
Don't leave me behind

Don't leave me behind

Snow Day

1st track off of the Country Punkin EP.

Before you turn your back again
Remember to settle the score
I'm sure nobody ever did anything
You did more

Tell me about it again
I need a reminder

Playing tricks and politics
Attacking from behind
This time we're starting back
At the beginning of time

Tell me about it again
I don't want to forget
Tell me about it again 
I need a reminder
Tell me about it again
I seem to forget
Someone tell me all about it
I need a reminder

Country Punkin is a collection of 4 to-the-point no-nonsense songs, inspired lyrically by country music and musically by punk rock. There are no intros, outros, interludes, solos, or instrumentals. Every song begins right away with only the core meat-and-potatoes parts of the song. Recorded entirely on the Teenage Engineering OP-1's four track, using a Shure SM57 plugged straight into it.

Tell Me About It Again

Wu Wei is a piece of music inspired by the Daoist concept of effortless action. It was made by sending a sequence to the Behringer Neutron and Model D, while running the sounds through Echo devices feeding back into each other. There's a heavily processed field recording  of rain and thunder in the background to add texture and ambience.

Wu Wei

All sounds, except drums, were made with the 16 Bit Ableton Live Pack.

The 16 Bit Ableton Live Pack has 105 instruments made from samples of the Sega Genesis's sound chips.
