urb Posted May 28, 2011 Share Posted May 28, 2011 I just made a new video of this tune - with a new bass line + solo - using my EBS Octabass and BassIQ pedals I still plan on taking this further - let me know what you think Cheers Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skol303 Posted May 29, 2011 Share Posted May 29, 2011 Nice melody, works for me! Some impressive playing when you let rip at the tempo change / double-time, roughly half way thru. I like the tone and FX you're using there as well. Great stuff Keep us posted if you work on it more... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mcgraham Posted May 31, 2011 Share Posted May 31, 2011 Like it! Chilled but grabs your attention too. Sound and feel wise it reminded me of Marie Ael off Hadrien Feraud's album (but yours is slightly more listenable overall IMO). Great job!

Skol303 Posted May 31, 2011 Share Posted May 31, 2011 Again, I'm really liking this. Love the sound you have there Mike, as others have mentioned. The melody definitely reminds me of something/someone but I can't put my finger on what... something French perhaps, like Air??... particularly the intro (I'll post again if I manage to get it off the tip of my tongue). Just noticed someone has already made the French Connection with Hadrien Feraud above, so there might be something in that afterall! Nice beat too: esp. the hi hats on the slower tempo, very catchy. I might 'borrow' them for a project of my own Chops-wise you're leagues ahead of me so I can't really comment on your playing other than saying wow! All round good job, sir.

urb Posted June 1, 2011 Author Share Posted June 1, 2011 Thanks chaps - I'm pleased with sound of the new version - I ran the final audio mix through some matering software I have (Ozone 4) and it makes such a difference - and for your info this was the only take I did of this, so from that point of view I'm happy with this (mistakes and all). Thanks for the encouraging comments - I came up with chords and melody through my usual trial and error (plenty of errors!) method of getting a chord sequence I like and then finding melodic ideas that 'feel' right - often simple is best - I do want to add some more unison lines in here and build the piece up at the end. Most of the things I write develop over months - this was all the product of last Saturday afternoon... anyway hopefully this will be the first in a bunch of new music from me. Glad you enjoyed it Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xilddx Posted June 15, 2011 Share Posted June 15, 2011 I like the track. I don't know what it is about your music, it really does have a tonality of its own, a complex kind of pathos seems to run through it all, it's very appealing. I really think you should find a singer who enjoys what you do and work together. There's lots of potential there mate! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
