Snatched From The Ether

It was a cold and boring Sunday (12/01/2014) yesterday and was thinking about doing something in Ableton.....well it ended up like this.  I used my Stratocaster for the rhythm tracks and my Les Paul for the lead licks.  FX via plugins.  Hope you like it :)

Well here it is: ‘Le Think Samba Football’ – a World Cup song!  I’ve been working with E-Ruizzo; with E-Ruizzo doing vocals in English! It’s blossomed into this interesting piece.

It started off with the guitar line, something I salvaged from recording sessions many months ago.  It was set to simmer on a slow heat, so lend an ear.  For more amazing tracks check out <a class="g-link-user" href="/esemanolain-ruizzo">E-Ruizzo</a> and his amazing cloud!!!

I did some artwork on the avatar yesterday it's a collage of Brazillian graffiti artists blended into one of my old abstract pieces :).

Many thanks to my old school friend Saj for loaning the bass ;)


Enjoy.

Lyrics:

It was because of Donahue & Miller
São Paulo, the spiritual home
Oh how we yearn to be entertained
64 a magic number 
A challenge of wait and wonder
Many times the winners always a qualifier
And now the world will be entertained
But the future is unwritten; looks promising

( O Pais do Futebol )

Light and five stars from the land of Samba
Our time has come again. 

Scores and emotions settle a great game
Our year to host the{chosen few}, o pais do futebol!

Time Lapse

A fusion of my Strat and some 6581 synthesis & no plugins.  I've been meaning to do this for ages, but needed a concept and suitable rhythm section.....

I was messing around with some Linn drum samples and put together a number of patterns, then explored the Ableton launch/follow facility to create structure and randomness, double tracked sounded great.  

I tried the same approach to the outboard stuff.

All kept in check with live patch changes and midi data to my Sidstation and steered where needed.  Just need a suitable melody, my old Strat sounded the best for this... I got carried away :).
