The Carpet Crawlers

The other girl

BPM: 110

This instrumental is inspired to the sound of the eighties. I kept the electric bass quite high in the mix, adding some chorus effect over 200Hz to enhance the sound of the string.
I used several tracks of Strat to create the main texture of the composition, using arpeggios and strummed parts through chorus and delay.
The drums are programmed and based on the Downbeat Kit available for AKAI MPC here: https://www.mpc-samples.com/product.php/291/the-downbeat-kit/. 
The drum samples are organized in round robin groups to give a natural feel to the drums part.

Screens glow, selfies show.
Chasing likes, engagement high.
Check my feed, followers lead.
Every post, likes, poise.

Like me! Bend the rules.
Like me! School the fools.
Like me! Make me famous.
Like me! They can't blame us.

Influencers lead, "like" they plead.
Swipe up, fill the cup.
Play it cool, rule the tool.
Game the system, claim your fiefdom.

Views climb, it's prime time.
Capture fun, it's never done.
Trend setters, social betters.
Share, care, everywhere.

Like me! Bend the rules.
Like me! School the fools.
Like me! Make me famous.
Like me! They can't blame us.

Go live, thrive and strive.
Engagement's high, reach the sky.
Viral dreams, in your streams.
Content's king, bells will ring.

Ads to run, selling's fun.
Prize your eyes, brand deals seal,
Stats inflate, engagement great.
Influence sprawls, conference calls.

Like me! Bend the rules.
Like me! School the fools.
Like me! Make me famous.
Like me! They can't blame us.

Like me! Bend the rules.
Like me! School the fools.
Like me! Make me famous.
Like me! They can't blame us.

Go live, thrive and strive.
Engagement's high, reach the sky.
Viral dreams, in your streams.
Content's king, bells will ring.

Like me! Bend the rules.
Like me! School the fools.
Like me! Make me famous.
Like me! They can't blame us.

Hit pause on the scroll, let's live and laugh,
Escape the grid to take a real photograph.
Outside the screen, life's in full view,
Where the only likes needed are from me and you.

Interstellar

Just a little short acoustic jam I put together to give some more meat to the Judgment Day album. I drew inspiration from Led Zeppelin and Genesis.
