"Mint Choc Chip" by Derek Cook. Made in The Hutch c2022
An original instrumental / composition and recording.

This track was written, produced and submitted for a Metapop Music Challenge @metapop.com. The brief was to take a few solo 4 bar guitar loops and compose a whole track around them in celebration of the release of a new virtual guitar plugin called "Electric Mint" by Native Instruments.

I used at least 5 samples in this track, including a minor pentatonic ditty.

So my track "Mint Choc Chip" was written from scratch, in C minor and based on that Electric Mint guitar samples. Recorded and mixed with Ableton  Live 10 and using : Studio Drummer, Rickenbacker Bass, Hybrid Keys, Scarbee Mark 1 Piano, Arkhis Strings and Session Horns. Let me know what you think.

WELCOME - SO GLAD YOU CAME.
This is my muso' home, a sanctuary, a creative cauldron of musical ideas, covers, new stuff, original and maybe sometimes off-centre. Even a few surprises as I go where my changing musical interest goes. I am a hobby producer and musician. Those 12 notes are still fascinating me.

If nothing else, this is first and foremost, for my own greater good, to ease a wary soul, shield me from the slings and arrows of modern life. So, keeping me from insanity in a broken world.

Enough rambling, I'll let the chords and the melodies do my talking.
