Green and yellow circles
On the earth and in the sky
Green and yellow circles 
On the roads and in the eyes 
Green the river runs, far down into the sand 
Jack and crew are riding through, 
Til tomorrow, wind and land 

Ride on

Jack

I started with a guitar loop and then built up from that using a few brass loops to add panache.
The idea wasn't to sound like spy movies, but by the time I finished this little ditty, Marivi said, "It sounds like a spy movie". 
It must be all the slow horses I've been reading lately; I can't get them out of my mind. 🙄

Recorded on a mac using Logic Pro.
The original guitar loop was recorded on my iPhone directly from my Tanglewood acoustic.
I then looped that into Logic and began writing little keyboard accompaniments. Added some classic Fat Boy slim samples and called it a day

A drink, Dear?

Once in a while, I'll be posting short excerpts of songs I've worked on, isolating a particular section like just vocals, sound effects or, like in this case, a horn arrangement (something I'm trying to learn more about these days).

This is the closing chorus section of one of my favourite songs I've done, Pick Me Up. This section features a sax solo, accompanied by a horn arrangement (trumpet, sax, trombone), with a bit of organ, bass and drums. All horn sounds are VST instruments, from Acoustic Samples (great company for high quality instrument sounds).

And here's a link to the full song; thanks for listening!
