urb Posted May 30, 2009 Share Posted May 30, 2009 Hey Just worked on this tune again today - I posted it a while back but I think I've made some signifcant improvements - re-did some bass parts and actually ended up adding a piano part at the end - I hope my ham-fisted playing doesn't spoil the vibe! It all gets a bit hectic in the middle but completly chills out at the end... I'd love your thoughts on this - criticism welcome etc. Thanks for listening Mike [url="http://www.icompositions.com/music/song.php?sid=114860"]http://www.icompositions.com/music/song.php?sid=114860[/url] PS - you'll need a Quicktime player to make this stream ok - but it is a highl quality MP3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Duarte Posted June 1, 2009 Share Posted June 1, 2009 That's really impressive playing and recording quality. Great bass tones and sweet mix of styles, nicely done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ped Posted June 6, 2009 Share Posted June 6, 2009 Hi Mike, Ditto Duarte's comments - well it inspired me to pick up my bass and try doing something similar, albeit in a far more ham fisted manner. I have to admit I am not a fan of those sort of drum tracks though, I find them a bit grooveless, but that's just me! Keep them coming mate! ped Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MythSte Posted June 6, 2009 Share Posted June 6, 2009 I'd buy that. seriously. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steve Posted June 6, 2009 Share Posted June 6, 2009 I liked the middle bit a lot, there was some really nice bass playing going on, but it was overwhelmed by the trumpet, which was a bit intrusive IMHO. I'd love to here a minimalist remix sans trumpet. The beginning section wasn't really my kind of thing, altho I'd have to echo the earlier sentiments about how well it was executed.

ZMech Posted June 6, 2009 Share Posted June 6, 2009 clicked on this expecting the kind of DnB you find in clubs, not the jazz kind. Despite that, it was still pretty good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I know plenty of nice studios and several superb drummers - so I plan on spending a day recording real drums on this stuff sometime soon - but this will have to do for now Glad you dug it anyway and got you inspired to do something yourself. Re the 'minimalist' comments from Steve - that's something else I plan on trying as well - Ijust spent a few days in Norway at a jazz fest two weeks ago and they do spaciousness very very well indeed - I love it - and is the perfect contrast to hectic stuff like this... Thanks so much for all the comments - very useful and much appreciated - I'll be adding this tune a three others to an iTunes EP soonish so I'll keep you posted - got some more recording to d now Cheers Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
