Name: Ashley Hutchins - Ducks On The Millpond by Funkinova in Released 2020
Duration: 2 min 39 s
Description: This started life as a 4 track midi and I wanted to go for the effect across 16 channels that you get at a folk festival when 16+ random folkies sit in a circle and decide to jam to a folk tune which they might not have played before, but if you know the key and tempo they all know their part!

Released 2020

Some people questioning if I'm even cool
They don't know even just how much school
I missed, yeah I'm a lifetime platinum truant
When it comes to not knowing french I'm fluent

Yeah I am the best, I got 10k in NFT's
I wear black leather like Neo in a breeze
If you aint convinced then just wait for this hook
Been more than 5 years since I quit facebook
 
BEEN MORE THAN 5 YEARS SINCE I QUIT FACEBOOK
BEEN MORE THAN 5 YEARS SINCE I QUIT FACEBOOK
BEEN MORE THAN 5 YEARS SINCE I QUIT FACEBOOK
BEEN MORE THAN 5 YEARS SINCE I QUIT FACEBOOK

You know I got respect for my crew, LGBTQ
I tried real hard to get a rescue
Fred Durst sucks, Linkin Park was never good
I'll call the council if you litter in my neighborhood 

And you know I'm slappin' sunscreen even when it's cloudy out
When it comes to climate change got no doubt
I got 99 vinyls, only heard 4
I do all my first dates at a book store
 
And what about ben? do you even need to ask?
When I was doing 5 over he said I was too fast,
He's on a first name basis with the bar staff at his local pub
His favourite movie of all time is fight club

Very happy with this original track based on a beat by LJandpad. Have used Ableton to my fullest extent so far and have included words in English, Chinese, Hindi, Spanish, Russian, German and Italian in that order. Please pass on to your friends who speak those languages. Having used a number of translators and text to speech functions, I expect that the results will be very funny, but also my first international hit!

Ashley Hutchins - Ducks On The Millpond

Hi all, so from 2016 to 2024 I assembled and produced a large collection of covers of many of my favorite tunes as my own hobby (and many during COVID lock-downs!) and I have accumulated over 2,800,000 plays across the world which is awesome!

I am much more of a producer that a musician. These first 8 years of my music was mostly based on midi cover tracks often downloaded from the Internet but heavily reproduced and re-imagined variously on my two Yamaha keyboards (Clavinova and PSR 975), but also using PC midi editing & DAW software.

Towards the end of that period, I added some of my more original electronic music which I produced over the past two decades under the name of Funkleberry in order to consolidate my Soundcloud accounts. 

But in 2024 I got into AI music generation and I am now  a freelance sonwriter and AI music producer. It's been a fun journey!
