New Squarepusher-ish tune - now with added Sei bass stuff...mmm

Hey good bass people - I just added a new version of 'Sing Your Own Anthem' with the Sei bass making its debut outing - it sounds good me thinks - first tune on the ole Myspace page here:


First two tunes on here:

I've just listened to Static. It's cool. The fingerstyle bass tone is perfect.

My only suggestion would be to either play it faster or slower: my preference would be for slower. Faster it would have more energy and slower the groove would be that much dirtier.

The other thing is that it got a little same-y in terms of the arrangement and the dynamics before the end. As soon as the song finished and Flipoutthefunk came on I wished that some kind of quirky break along those lines had been slipped into Static.

I'm not trying to be an @rse - only giving you the negative 'cos the positive stuff is all obvious and it's quality material.

Cool - I appreciate your comments/criticisms - it's all good or rather it's constructive, which is great.

I actually really like the tempo of Static - it's low and dirty and skanky - and it was done in one take at the end of a long session so it was just a kind of groove that we hit straight off the bat and sat on it - I think it's great - but yeah I'm sure we could play it faster or slower - but I think it came out OK IMO. The drummer is a beast!

Thanks for listening.

apologies in advance fr the bump - just completely reworked the dance-ish tune 'Sing Your Own Anthem' - it's fast and hectic and believe me I can't to record something with more space and less speed - but you know what it's like when you get recording a tune an you just have to see it through - it's a learning curve is all I can say. I'm definitely discovering loads more about Logic 8 just by using it
- it's the only way innit!?

The 'song' now has an added bassline and slappy solo breakdown...

I've just thrown my bass away.

Seriously difficult stuff carried off with aplomb. I can't get my [i]brain[/i] to go that fast never mind the soddin' fingers.

Sing Your own Anthem has a bit of everything in the mix, Jaco, Frank Zappa (the musical feel, not the bass obviously), Stanley Clarke...

Thanks man - it's appreciated - I feel the same way most days honest - I'm going to be doing a load more but with lots of variety, this was a fast thing just because I haven't recoded a lot of uptempo stuff, mainly mid-tempo groove things - anyway thanks again and please go and retrieve your bass immediately...practice makes perfect etc


Cheers
