Chunky And Funky Featuring Allen V - FreeRadical

Description : I thought i'd re up this as i just found out the sad news that my friend Allen recently had a stroke
and as a result is unable to play anymore. I would encourage you all to go and check out his profile as he was one hell of a guitarist and i hope that the time comes when he is again. Here's the link:

I like the idea, though I do agree going back and fixing a few minor issues will make this already-great song sound even better. Keep up the good work, FreeRadical. I'm loving your music. Cheers!

I agree that the mixdown isn't the best. I had the dithering switched on when i converted it not realizing that dithering makes the track sound worse at the time. Took me ages to figure that one out but alas the file is gone so i can't work on it anymore. I only put the track back up as i was hoping peeps would go and check out Alans profile but thanks for stoping by and commenting.

This still rocks out! Great electronic and live music combined, this works!!

Yeah he is still about but he said one of his arms isn't working too well so he can't really play at the moment. Hopefully he'll make a full recovery.
As for the track, I like the idea but i didn't mix it down very well (it's a bit to trebble saturated) I'd love to do it again some time.
Cheers for dropping by and commenting.

wow....that is some smokin guitar playing by AllenV...amazing guitar chops definitely on display (If I could to borrow about 10% of them I`d consider myself dm good)....But then, the whole mix is just superbly done...I have to confess that D&B is not a frequent listening choice but now it looks like I best pay a bit more attention.....great work guys....Ed

Thanks Tumbleweed, It's not a typical piece of drum and bass in any sense really but that's what i like about it. If it hadn't been for Allen's participation it wouldn't have been anywhere near as good so all credit to our resident axe man for taking part and doing his thing.
Thanks for checking out this track.

Well i have to say that put a smile on my face this morning. I thought i was a bit long in the tooth to be "down with the kids" but an endorsement from your nine year old son and your daughter fills me with much encouragement and i say many thanks to all three of you.
To be honest it was Allen that did all the cool sounding bits so perhaps i should digress and pass the compliments on to him.
Thanks for reviewing this experimental piece of audio carnage.

Free my friend, yet again you show your multi-talented genius. This is great guitar work from Allen and you more then do it justice. DnB with a twist mate and I like it.

Ah VSS, How nice of you to stop by again.
This whole track was based around a series of loops that Pedro Casilass uploaded so really it wouldn't have happened without his origional idea. Just goes to show that a couple of loops can take you in directions you wouldn't find yourself.
Allen was the icing on the cake though.
Glad you could stop by and give it a listen.

This is totally rockin! Allen's playing is to die for! I love how you used the acid style bass in this one! Those piano loops make for an awesome style of DnB! I think I remember this one from before, but I'm glad you re-upped it!

FreeRadical replied 24th Apr 2012 - 14 years ago
Thanks Spiv, You're right it is an older track but it's a collab i remain proud of and so far the only one i've done with musicians rather than singers. Hopefully it wont be the last though.
Glad you enjoyed the track again (I'll be reupping it again in a few days time lol)

Hey FR,

Very nicely done. When you combine the piano skills of Pedro and the fret work of Allen with your ability to arrange and produce, well you have a recipe for success. This is a wonderful display of Allen's amazing abilities. Wonderful effort and a great way to start my day.

Great music to blast on the Bus.

Thanks Bear, This was great fun to do. I love having a bit of a mash up to see what happens. Sometimes it comes out bloody awful but every now and again it works. As hannibal smith says "I love it when a plan comes together"
I'm glad this got your day off to a good start.
Thanks for giving up some of your time to play this track.

This is great, damn, that man can shred! So cool that you can give Allen a boost. Let's hope he can get back into action soon.

This is it's own genre "mega cool"!

Well you know Wayne, We can both do cool, but when plain ol cool aint enough, You need to hire......"The V Team"
I'm glad you enjoyed this bit of cobbled together audio mayhem collaboration.
It's always good to hear your opinions.

Allen is a force of nature - the most versatile, gifted, and giving samurai of the loops, and i bet that's true of all him in life.
This is a full-on and beauteous collab - AV brings out the best in everyone - and this is stellar, my friend - your mindbending setting kicks ass
FreeRadical
FreeRadical replied 21st Apr 2012 - 14 years ago
Yeah, It turned out pretty unusual this one but in a good way. But your right, I could have just been tapping a saucepan with a wooden spoon in the background and Allen would still have sounded as good.
Thanks for tuning in.

Thanks mate, I was tempted to post a link to this in your "this is why i love looperman" thread. I think it's a great example of what happens when you throw three different musicians with different styles together. I love going out of my comfort zone on a voyage of discovery and it wouldn't be possible without everyone in this community.
Thanks for stopping by and leaving your thoughts.

Thanks AD, i just had an idea which came from some piano loops uploaded by "Pedro Casillas". I'm going to have to correct the track description and give him a mention as well because it was piano that formed the whole backbone of the tune. Then i just asked Allen if he fancied shredding a few licks for me and he obliged. So this is what happens when you take a latin pianist, a rock guitarist and a dance producer, then throw them all together.
I will be over to your profile in a moment and thanks for dropping in.

Description : I wanted to create something dark and romantic with an RnB and retro wave touch. This song has a retro futurism feel to it. I was inspired by The Weeknd when I was writing this song, especially his first mixtape, House Of Balloons, hence the deep roamntic analogies in the songwriting. I have sung this song myself and produced it too. No AI used here. This is an old song.
