It is happening again. 

Sometimes music can be ugly, and that's ok.

Includes a snippet from a vinyl that is theoretically free to use as far as I can tell. I looked and looked trying to find the creator but the label is defunct... and the sample itself is altered quite a bit. Don't sue me - thanks.

Deguiled

Here is the free HQ WAV download https://circuit-bored.bandcamp.com/track/a-walk-in-the-park

A somber song that doesn't really have enough energy to be a typical dance track, but it is also listenable enough to be background music. As usual the song is free if you type 0 for the price of the track when you say buy now (this is for the Bandcamp HQ Download)

How it was made:
I played a guitar with the program GuitarMidi which i then turned into a harp with the Kontakt. I created some pads with FM8 (they are very light and may only be heard with nice headphones) I took the pads and reversed them, and then sliced and rearranged into the correct order.
I made a little light drum loop and copied and reversed it, then laid them together for a swoop like effect. I found the Parallel key to the one I was using and made the song change into Am for the break - but i tried to make the minor section the actually more upbeat than the intro. I played also some more gentle guitar midi for the bridge, then some acoustic guitar lead for the 2nd half of the song. I made sure to really pay attention to the balance of real with electronic sounds. Also just for the fun of it I added some N64 samples (which you may not find- but they are a star fox ship sample and a Pokemon snap water droplet).

I hope you enjoy the song. Feel free to use it in a video or some other project - just please credit and message me if you want to use it.

How I made it: 
Hey people who are reading this, I'm glad you are here. The song started off as a simple finger picking riff that I played on a classical guitar. I liked it. The song has 3 main separate parts, all playing off of the same musical motif but with different approaches. The intro in the beginning has some audio clips I took and twisted. The beginning actually has the end of the song playing backwards with some stretching and at a low volume. There is some Stranger Thing-esque synths randomly created with Sylenth and FM8. I took that lick i made I mentioned earlier and I played it on my electric guitar with some compression, delay and chorus. The Bass was just the same guitar pitched down an octave and and another guitar pitched up an octave with mid cut out. In the background is some rhythm guitar made with simple palm muting. The part where it goes all loud and distorted was just some high sustain and fuzz with a different baseline made for it. The 2nd part has some guitar sidechained and thrown through a wah wah pedal for the groove section. I also played a new pattern with the classical and took the same lick in the part but pitched it down an octave. The third part sounds so different that I almost tossed it out, but I liked it too much to trash it. This part uses all new patterns with some pad guitar made by playing guitar backwards and then reversing it. The rest was just some jazz chords and messing around with a fun groove.


Equipment and software: 
FL-Studio 12 
Sylenth1
FM8
a Lyon chorus pedal and a Donner Yellowfall delay pedal on my Jackson js20 electric and another custom made guitar recorded with my M-Audio fast track. Sennheiser HD 518 Headphones and some old dying monsoon speakers. Big Muff Pi and also some old Harmonica.

The original song is a great dance track by Gorillaz featuring Kilo Kish, Zebra Katz & Imani Vonshà. The original song is a bonus track from the deluxe album Humanz released this year after a long wait. Hopefully you enjoy this remix. It is not anything I usually would do but I just fell in love with the track. 

Please do yourself a favor and get the real track since it is great. 

The remix is a free download so enjoy.

Incredibly happy with how this song turned out. A massive part of that is due to the great mixing and ideas provided by Beau Gilles. Check out his stuff for some awesome music below:

I sampled some harps, some random stuff, xylophone, bongos and old ship bells from a man who collects antuiqe items. I then stretched and reversed some of the sounds and then created a song from there.

Big thanks to https://soundcloud.com/beau-gilles for giving me great advice on this track! Check out his music if you wanna listen to something good.

I got a random voicemail on my phone that only said "Press 2 Now" and so I decided to sample it. By far my happiest song. I really enjoyed making this song and I hope you enjoy it. My favorite part is at 1:32

11 Months

So I am missing my normal studio/office space due to water damage which means that I am missing my microphone, guitars, amp, pedals, vinyl recorder, and my speakers. So all I have to make music is a pair of headphones and my tiny/cramped bedroom.

So it is just like the old days. To top it off, the quarantine started meaning that I have to stay inside (so nothing really has changed now that I think of it).

Anyways, I started this song a few days before self-isolation started and decided to embrace my new limitations and to make something upbeat and fun for a change.

I used a lot of Kontakt and Serum.

Minimal samples were used which was a fun challenge:

David Bowie - Five Years:
(I took the drums, sped them up crazy fast and really messed with them to create a fast punchy sound that almost acts as a texture.)

The Turtles - I'm Chief Kamanawanalea:
This was a bit more straight forward. I took the drums, changed the speed and pitch, duplicated the drums and then pitch those lower to make a nice layered drum pattern that I then sliced occasionally. I then made my own drums and layered them on top of the samples to create a 4 on the floor dancing feel and to add more punch the the track.
