Newfangled Hotel Ambience 1: Evening In The Rain

Spotify

Crystal Blonde

Before learning how to write music I was originally a (not particularly good) percussionist & drummer for a while. That background definitely influences how I write, with rhythm being a big focus. Something on display in a lot of my music and definitely in this track.

Longer, Bluer Suns

20 9 7

We worked pretty hard on this percussion and drum arrangement.
As I was putting the final touches on the mix I started liking listening to it reduced in various ways.

Here is the whole song reduced (mostly) to just the drum parts.
I left some of the synth stuff in there on this run to give it a little color.

This is a drum take, three floor tom overdubs, various trashy snare sounds both real and manufactured, some triggers, samples, and manually sequenced electronic percussion stuff I wrote on the piano roll in the daw.

Hope you enjoy this, the finished track from our end is coming next.

I have enabled downloads on this in case you want to do something of your own on it. Slice and dice it, chop it up, use parts of it - whatever. It is fairly well on the grid and I think it is 90bpm though I am not entirely certain of that because I forgot to look before I uploaded it lol. Time signatures are weird. 9/4 and 5/4 and 4/4 alternating. If you need something removed just shoot me a message and I will mute whatever track and burn you a new mix even. That's how nice we are.

If you do something with it, please let us know, send us the link, and remember to give attribution to "Mystic Tape Deck."

Raiding the Halls (reduced - dl enabled)

And I should be feeling something
But there's nothing at all
Oh be still, my heart is pumping
And I'm starting to drawl
Oh please me
Looks like I've been in a brawl
I'm going out in a blaze of gory

CHORUS
And your eyes
They're like something from the movies
And your smile
So I smiled back and kept on moving

And I couldn't choose the weapon
I couldn't think of a time
These big shoes are too big to step on
I'm too small for this crime
Oh please me
This end is no damn fault of mine
I'm going out in a blaze of gory

CHORUS

I've been told something that is nasty
And it stuck in my throat
Now you've started to look so crusty
Or is it something I smoked?
Oh please me
These are the last damn words I wrote
I'm going out in a blaze of gory

CHORUS

Going Out In A Blaze Of Gory

Hi there, hope you enjoy my latest moody and dreamy creation - straight from a surreal dimension!

Lyrics :

This is Halloween 

[Verse]
Shadows crawl where the moonlight hides
Pumpkins grin with their hollowed-out eyes
The wind it whispers
The cats they cry

[Chorus]
This is Halloween
This is Halloween
Scream till your socks fall off your feet
This is Halloween
This is Halloween
Tricks and treats on every street

[Verse 2]
Bats that dance in the midnight glow
Graveyard parties where skeletons show
Spiders weaving webs so slow

[Prechorus]
In the dark where the nightmares bloom
Candy corn and the smell of doom

[Chorus]
This is Halloween
This is Halloween
Monsters mash and goblins leap
This is Halloween
This is Halloween
Hide and seek with things that creep

[Bridge]
Witches cackle
Their cauldrons bubble
Zombies shuffle
They’re looking for trouble
Ghosts they giggle
They float and sway
Tonight we all come out to play.
