Cowboy Vs Technology - RayKoefoed

12th Aug 2008 23:57 - 18 years ago
Description : I think you will like this one! I have decided to stop concerning myself so much about vocals and just enjoy making the music. This is the first track that I have made that was intended as an instrumental and wasn't built around potential lyrics that I had in mind. Instead, on this track I decided I wanted to try creating a decent old fashion sounding steel guitar riff with my midi keyboard and some old soundfonts I have collected. I worked in some Sytrus action (like I love doing) and some cinematic sounding cello and choir. I really started liking how the digital instruments were sounding along with the traditional ones so I thought I would just go with it. Hence the name of the track. I hope it sounds as good to you as it did to me while I was making it. Please let me know what you think.

wow ur just as wacky as me with the song titles,great vibes from the track,you have great midi skills with the guitar riff in great harmony too.
choir is not bad fits really well with the theme which by the way kinda has a outer space cowboy feel

Love the quality of this track, great riff and the choir gives it that element of western cinema Morricone style, the title says it all man. great job

Thanks for the download, cheers

Thanks Frenchkid. Unfortunately it is only a digital instrument, not a real and good guitar, like the one you play

cinematic sounds always seem to catch my ear as what this has sounded like
Great guitar strumming, awesome choir, beats crisp, masterings well done, panning and effects are well sought and used
Very professional but i don't know where i'd see this, it's a very strange journey like composition
great work mate
God Bless

Thanks for the very kind review Gsusfrk. I don't know what this would be used either really, haha. Maybe the credits of a low budget old western style scifi movie?

I listened to this a bunch of times. Nice. Love the sub tone bass and the cello really catches my ear. Good work.

I was sitting and enjoying this tune when all of a sudden it ended. Its got a nice slow intro, building up... that's where I felt it left me hanging, just when I felt like I was building with the music, it stopped. Maybe build it up and then ease out as it eased in.
I'm going to listen to more of your works. Looking forward to it.

I didn't put as much time into this one as some of the prior tracks. You are probably right though, it could have used a little bit more going on. Thanks for the review audioprojek.

sorry I am a bit late on replying, but thank you for the nice comment easygroove. I hope to keep setting my standard higher, though I am not sure how much higher I will be able to with any real music education. I will just hope that practice makes perfect.

I wanted to add some sound clips from some Clint Eastwood westerns in it, but then did some research on the forums about movie clips and copyright and knew I shouldn't. I bet you would have enjoyed it though. Thanks for your review gizzard!

Description : My third rap song. Still not entirely sure how I got here, but I'm having fun with it. This time, I brought along my alter ego, Cool Grandpa. He's got more swagger than I do and helps bring a little street cred (although not much) to the operation.

Description : Unfiltered. Just me and the Squier Stratocaster. Comp edited the recorded guitar freestyle clips so it all sounds like it was recorded in one take. I used one of my old beats. Trying to get my guitar to scream was my goal, but in the process i made the guitar make sounds i didn't know it could make.
